THECACSE AN.!) CURB OF CONSUM PTION.
—The primary cause ofConsumption is derange
ment of the digestive organs. This derange
ment produces deficient nutrition and assimila
tion. By assimilation l mean that process by
which the nutriment of the food is converted
into blood, and thence into the solids of the
body. Persons with digestion thus impaired,
h iving the slightest predisposition to pulmon
ary disease, or if they take cold, will be very
1 iAble to have Consumtion of the Lungs in some
of its forms; and I hold that it will be impossi
ble to cure any ease of Consumption without
first restoring a good digestion and healthy as- ]
simßation. The very first, tiling to he done is
to cleanse the stomach and bowels from all dis
eased mucus and slime, which is clogging these
organs so that they cannot perform their func
tions, and then rouse up and restore the liver to
a healthy action. For this purpose the surest
and best remedy is Schenck’s Mandrake Pills.
These Pills clean the stomach and bowels of all
the dead and morbid slime that is causing dis
ease and decay in the whole system. They will
clear out the liver of all diseased bile .hat has
accumulated there, and rouse it up to anew and
healthy action, by which natural and healthy
bile is secreted.
The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus clean
sed by the use of Schenok’s Mandrake Pills;
but there-remnins in the stomach an excess
of acid, the organ is torpid and the appetite
poor. In the bowels the lacteals are weak, and
requiring strength and support. Tt is in a con
dition like this that Sehenok’s Seaweed Tonic
proves to be the most valuable remedy ever dis
covered, It is alkaline, and it use will neutra
lize all excess of acid, making the stomaeh
sweet and fresh; it will give permanent tone to
this important organ, and create a good, hearty
appetite, and prepare the system for the first j
process of a good digestion, and ultimately
make good, healthy, living blood. After this
preparatory treatment, what remains to cure
most cases of Consumption is the free and per
severing use of Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup. The
Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, purifies
the blood, and is readily absorbed into the cir
culation, and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs. There it ripens all morbid matters,
whether in the form ol‘ abscesses or tubercles,
and then assists Nature to expel all the disease
matter, in the form of free expectoration, when
once it ripens. It is then, by the great healing
and purifying properties of Schenck’s Puunonic
Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities are healed
up sound, and my patient is cured.
The essential thing to be done in curing Con.
sumption is to get up a good appetite and a
good digestion, so that the body will grow in
flesh and get strong. If a person has diseased
lungs.—a cavity or abscess there,—the cavity
cannot heal, the matter cannot ripen, so long
as the system is below par. What is necessary
to cure is anew order of things,—h good appe
tite. a good nutrition, the body to grow in flesh
and get fat; then Nature is helped, the cavities
will heal, the matter will ripen and be thrown
oif in large quantities, and the person regain
health and strength. This is the true and only
plan to cure Coi sumption, and if a person is
very bad, if the lungs are not entirely destroy
ed. or even if one lung is entirely gone, if there
is enough vitality left in the other to heal up,
there is hope.
I have seen many persons cured with only one
sound lung, live and enjoy life to a good old
age. This is what Schenck’s Medizinisjyy ill do
to cure Consumption, They will clean out the
stomach, sweeten and strengthen it. get up a
good digestion, and give Nature the assistance
she needs to clear the system of all the disease
that is in the lungs, whatever the form may
be. *
It is important that while using fichenek’s
Medicines, care should be exercised not to take
cold; keep in-doors in cold and damp weather;
avoid night air, and take out-door exercise only
in a genial and warm sunshine.
I wish it distinctly understood! that when I
recommend a patient to be careful in regard to
taking cold, while using my Medicines, I do so
for a special reason. A man who has blit par
tially recovered from the effects of a bail cold
is far more liable to a relapse than one who has
been entirely cured; and it is precisely the
same in regard to Consumption. So long as the
lungs are not perfectly healed, just so long is
there imminent danger of a full return of the
disease. Hence it is that Iso strenuously cau
tion pulmouary patients against exposing
themselves to an atmosphere that is not genial
ami pleasant. Confirmed Consumptives’ lungs
are a mass of sores, which the least change Os
atmosphere will inflame. The grand secret of
mv success with mv Medicines consists in my
ability to subdue inflammation instead of pro
voking it, as manv ofThe faculty do. An in
flamed lung cannot, with safety to the patient,
be exposed to the biting blasts of Winter or the
chilling winds of Spring or Autumn. It shoul
be careiully shielded from all irritating influ
ences. The utmost caution should be observed i
in this particular, as without it a cure under I
almost any circumstances is an impossibility, i
The person should be kept on a wholesome j
and nutritious diet, and all the Medicines con
tinued until the body has restored to it the nat- j
ural quunity of flesh' and strength. j
I wa> myself cured by this treatment of the j
worst kincl of Consumption, and have lived to
get fat and hearty these many years, with one
lung mostly gone. I have cured thousands
since, and very many have been cured by this,
treatment whom I have never seen.
About the First of October 1 expect to take!
possession of my new building, at the North
east Corner of Sixth and Arch Sreets, where I 1
shall be pleased to give advice to all who may
require it.
Full directions accompany all ray Remedies,
so that a person in any part of the world can be
readily cured by a strict observance of the

Words and Music by A. T. Gorham.

Monthly. "
Twns on a beauteous Summer morn,
When things were up nnd cornin',
And all among the punkin vines
The bumble-bees were hiunmm’;
I took an early half mile walk,
As every bodyd* outer,
When in the cowpnth I was met
By Widdtr Spriggjns’ Daughter.
Her eyes were black as David’s ink,
Her cheeks were red as fury,
Aud one smack of htr luscious lips
W ould bribe a judge or jury.
I bow'd—she curcheyed just the way
Her nice old Mar had taught her;
She smiled—aud oh! my heart was
gone
To Widder Sprigging’ Daughter.
Says I, “My dear, how do ye do ?”
Says she, “I reckon finely;”
Says I, “Os all the gals I know,
You look the most devinely.”
I suatched a kiss—she slapped my
Lee,
In fact, just as she’d orter;
“Behave yourself, how dare you, sir?”
Cried W’idder Spriggius’ Daughter.
Just then an old rampageous sheep
Who had boon feeding near, sir,
Squared off, and like a ton of bricks
He took oie with his head, sir;
I landed in a pond, chuck full
Os frog and iil liy water,
And then she stood and larfed and
larfid,
Ihut W it.dcr Spripgii s’ D .lighter
I rather guess I crawled out quick.
Picked up my hat and mizzled,
W T hile love’s bright torch so lately lit
Out in that frog pond fizzled.
Wi 11, she was married yesterday,
A lawyer chap has got her;
So 111 forget, if not forgive
The Widder Sprigging’ Daughter.

Early Rhing.
We confess that there is some philosophy
in the sentiments expressed in the extract
below from the New York Times. “A light I
breakfast, a cracker, and a pinch of salt,’’ i
are all sliere nonsense. The writer says:
All this talk about early rising is moon
shine. The habit of turning out of bed in
the middle of I lie night suits »ome people;
let them enjoy it. But it is only folly to lay
down a general rule upon the subject. Some
men are tit for nothing all day after they
have risen early every morning. Their en
ergies are deadened, their imaginations are
heavy, their spirits are depressed. It is
said you can work so well in the morning.—
Some people can, but others can work bes 1
at night; others again, in the afternoon. —
Long trial and experiment form the only
conclusive tests on these points. As forget
ting up early, because Professor Gammon
has written letters to the papers proving the
necessity ts it, let no one be goose euough
to do it. We all know the model man, aged
eighty: “I invariably rise at five; I work,
three hours, take alight breakfast —namely,
a cracker and a pinch of salt —work five
hours more; never smoke, never drink any
thing, but barley water; eat no dinner, and
go to bed at six in the evening.” If anybo
dy finds that donkeyfied sort of life suits him
by all means, let him continue it.
But few' people would care to live to eigh
ty on those terms. If a man cannot get
well withered and crumbled up on easier
terms than those, it is almost as well that
he should depart before he is a nuisance to
himself and a bore to everybody else.
To Keep Fresh Meats, —a gentleman says
to preserve fresh meats for several days, he
salts them down in an ordinary corn sack.
This process keeps off the flies, and renders
the meats cool and nice.

Every hour that a child lives a quiet,
tranquil, joyous life, of such sort as kittens
live on hearths, squirrels, in sunshine, is
just so much investment in strength and
steadiness, and growth of the nervous system.
Every hour that|a child lives a life of excited
brain working, either in a school-room or in
a ball-room, is just so much taken away from
the reserved force which enables the nerves
to triumph throughNhe sorrows, through the
labors, through the diseases of late life.—

An Alabama Practical Joke.
For twenty three year* eld Jake Wllll»i-d
has cultivated the soil of Baldwin county,
Alabama, and drawn therefrom a support
for self aad wife. He is childless. Not
long ago Jake left the house in search of a
missing cow. His route led him through an
old, worn-out patch of clay land of about
six acres iu extent, in the center of which
was a well twenty-five or thirty flpeef deep, !
and a', some time, probably, had furnished
the inmates of a dilapidated house near by
with water. In passing by this spot, an ill
wind lifted Jake s “ tile” from his head
and maliciously wafted it to the edge of the
well, and in it tumbled
Now, Jake had always practiced the vir
tue of economy, and he immediately set
about recovering the lost hat- —He ran to
the well, uncoiled the rope which he had
brought for the purpose of capturing the
truant cow, and after several attempts to
catch the hat with a noose, he concluded to
save time by going down into the well him
self. To accomplish this, he made fast one |
end of the rope to a stump hard by, aud
was quickly on his way down the well.
It is a fact, of which Jake was no le<»s
oblivious than the reader hereof, that Ned
Wells was in the dilapidated building afore
said, and that an old, blind horse, with a
bell on his neck, who had been turned out
to die, was lazily grazing within a short dis
tance of the well.
The devil himself or some other wicked ;
spirit put it in Ned’s cranium to have a lit
tle fun; so he quietly slipped up to the horse,
and unbuckling the bell strap, approached
with slow, measured “ ting'a-ling” the edge
of the well.
“Dang that blind horse,** said Jake, “he’s
a coming this way sure, and haint got no
more sense than to fall in here. Whoa,
Ball 1”
But the continued approach of the “ting
a-ling,” said just as plainly as words that
• Ball” wouldn’t whoa. Bcddes, Jake was
at tho bottom resting, before trying to “shin
it” up the rope.
“Great Jerusalem!” said he, “the old
cuss will be a top of me before I can say
Jack Robinson. Whoa! dang you, whoa! ” ,
Just then Ned drew up 10 the edge of the
well, aud wi h his foot kicked a little dirt
into it.
“Oh, Lord !” exclaimed Jake, falling on
his knees at the bottom, “I’m gone now;
whoa ! w-li-o a, Ball!—Oh, Lord, have
mercy on ine.”
Ned could hold in no longer, and fearful
that Jake might suffer from his fright, lie
revealed lumsclf.
Probably Ned didn’t make tracks with
his heels from that well. Maybe Jake
wasn'n up to the top in short order; aud
you might think he didn’t try every niglit
lor two weeks to get a shot with his rifle at
Ned. Maybe not.
The editor who wrote Ills editorials with
chalk on the soles of liis shoes, and went

has purchased a ream of second hand en

Old Deacon sharp never told a lie; but he
used to relat e this: He was standing one day
before a frog pond and saw a large garter
snake make an attack upon an enormous bull
frog. 'llie suakc seized on the frog’s
hind legs and the frog, to be on par with the
snakeship, caught him by the tail, and both
commeced swallowing one another, and con
tinued his carnivorous operation until noth
ing was left of them.
Lime for Fruit Trees. — The Horticultur
ist says: it is a good ptan for fruit growers
to apply lime frely in their orchards every
two or three years, A half bushel to each
tree or one hundred bushels broadcast, per
acre, will suffice.-Light loamy,lands will be
the best benefittef by the lime and shell lime
is better for fruit trees than the stone lime.
Whitewashing Trees.
Don’t whitewash the Dark upon the
bodies of fruit and ornamental trees.
We are at a loss to know for what
purpose some persons thus coat the
bark of fruit and shade trees about
their premises with lime, unless it is to
make them look nice. It certainty
d_>es them more harm than good, as it
serves to obstruct the respiratory or
gans, and in a measure prevents a thrif
ty growth.
Should the bark become diseased
and rough, or covered with moss,
scrape it thoroughly with a hoe or
scraper of some suitable description;
after which wash thoroughly with a
strong solution of soap and water. If
this is done properly every season, it ]
will prove a great benefit, by destroy-;
ing the insects which prey upon the j
b rk, and otherwise promoting a heal- j
thy condition thereof, and increasing i
the vigor and vitality of the trees.

Hall County Silver Mine-— We
have in our office, says the Atlanta
Constitution, a specimen of silver from
the Hall county silver mine. The vein
is six miles northeast of Gainesvilte,
ten feet thick, and has only been open
ed twenty feet. The assays in the
United States Mint, and by Professors
Shepherd and Hayes, and Drs. Bab
cock nnd Jackson, show it to be worth
from S2O to SGG »>er tnu for silver, and
from $o to $lO for gold. The highest
assay was $21,76 per ton, and the gen
eral average $2 per ton greater than
the Comstock lode in Nevada which
last year yieldedlwelve million dollars.

Delirrum Tremens. A Western
physician successfully used ipeeacuan
na in delirum tremens. He first gave
it as an emetic, and afterwards from
15 to 18 grains every other hour.—
Connected with this remedy he used
shower baths, and let the patients
frequently drink strong beef tea,
without any alcoholic stimulants.—
It quieted the nervous system, excited
the appetite, acted on secretions, aud
uniformly produced sleep, curing the
patients in nearly every case.
Honor to the Sci-sous. —The news
paper say:-: Some people, ignorant of
whut good editing is, imagine the
getting up of selected matter to be the
easiest wuik iu tb ,* world to do, where-,,
as it is the nicest work that is done on
a paper. If they find the editor with
scissors in hand, they are sure to suy,
“Eu ! tins is .he way you get up origi
nal matter, eh !” accompanying their
new anil witty questions witu an idi
otic wi> k or smile. The facts are, that
thu interest, the mor.dity, the variety
and usefulness of a paper depend, in
no sin II degt ee, in itsse'ected mn.ter,
and few m u are fully capable of the
pt sition wno would not themselves be
able to write many of the articles they
select. A sensible editor desires c -n

Anybody can soil the re nuta
tion of an individual, however pure
aud chaste, by uttteriug a suspicion
that his enemies will believe and lr.s
friends never hear of. A puff of the
idle wind can take a million of .the
seeds of a thistle and do a work of
mischief which the husbandman must
labor long to undo, the floating pu
ticles being too small to be seen and
too ligui to be stopped. Suca are the
Seeds of slander—so easily sown so
difficult io be gathered up, and yet so
pernicious i . the r fi ullage. The
slanderer knows that many a wind
will catch up the plague and become
poisoucd b) his insinuations without
ever seeking ihe antidote. No reputa
tion cm rtfute a sneer, nor any hu
man skill prevent mischief.
Games of Chance.
A correspondent asks, “Why is it
wrong per xt to play a chance game ?”
YVe dia not know that anybody says
that it is wrong, except ascetics who
condemn nli kinds of recreation. It is
not the fact that there is chin'd in the!
games of c irds and dice that moralists
oppose them; but it is because theie is
such a factuation in those games that
persons who play them are liable to
spend too much time at them, aud be
cause these are the games most gen
erally used for gambling. It is dan
gerous for any person to know how to j
play cards, as it is sometimes difficult
to resist the temptation to join in the
game “just for amusement, you
kuow !” —and then bv and by for small
stakes—“just to make the game inter
esting, yon know !”—and then— -facitis
est descensus Aoerni —that is, the way
of descent to the dogs and to the dev
il is then made easy. We are abso
lutely shocked at the insane folly of
young ladies who play at cards with
their male acquaintances to make j
gamblers of their future husbands.
How many thousands have been
brought to grief by this easy method ! i
If auy think it is wrong to play at any ;
game of chance, because religion is a
matter of certainly, qtc., we are net dis
posed to dispute with them—only tliey

do not chance to se# it. iu tluit light.

A quarrelsome couple were dis

“Georgia promises,” says the New
Orleans Picayune, “to become as noted
for the uumber of fairs as for her
many miles of railroad and the ex
tent of her manufactures. No fewer
than eight will be held between the
close of September and November 21.”
It would be decidedly agreeable to
have Georgia noted on such grounds.
The development of the State is well
advertised through the medium of
Fairs, and Georgia ought to have just
as many of them as can be made m d

Tarities,
A miuister asked u, little boy who
had been converted, “Does not the de

what do you say to him?” “]. tell
him,” replied the boy, with something
of Luther’s spirit, “Unit, wuether I am
a Christian or not, it is none of his
business.”

The Horse from a Mo.uf Stand
point.
The driver who tights his horse has
not got through the first, lesson iu the
management of these anim.ds. Some
strike theu* horses in a tit of auger;
o.heis beat them as a punishment for
what they conceive to be sinful nets
on the part of the hor*e. Now, the
fact is the horse never does wrong on
purpose. Iu this respect he is better
than most men. If lie refuses to puli,
it is the fault of education, and if ho
runs aw iy, and breaks things to pieces,
it is because he is frightened. Men,
when they tire sc ired do some very
foolish things, and they are excused;
but no allowai ci is iu .de for tlie ruii
away horse. He is kicked and culled
and beaten, as if wiiat wis done was
done purposely to hint somebody, and
not in consequence of some supposed
danger, whien the p >or a aim and was
trying to flee from. H uses nev r
kick without a motive. They use
their heels for defense; the tir t kick
at the traces is given lo ward oil' what
to them seems danger. No hoi he ever
kicked for any other purpose. They
cherish no ill feeling against any ODe,
i and alwayi do as far as they know,
what is right. All horses cm be edu
cated to whatever the driver wishes.
I hey obey cheerfully and without
grumbling, even although put to rest
at half rations in a cold, filthy, muddy
stable. A horse cm be taught to
know the harness will not hurt him.—
Then lie will not kick at it ami run
away. He is easily taught to pull by
the traces, or by the haltei-su ap. If
yon want him to pull on the ha! ev, and!
you have to do is to In.eh him to
something lie can easily bieak and he
will soon learn to pull b;uk with such
force that no biidie can In Id him. If
you want him to pull well id file tra
ces, give him u light load until be
learns to move it, and he tviil § nil ins
best at heavy loads. Horses balk or
pull just as they are taught. It opes
uot matter which end of the
you fasten the vt ight to. '1 hey' wi.l
balk us readily when hitched by "tie
li'uceb, if pioperly trained, ne when
Intciiei by the hulter; usd th<y
pull back as faithfully by the halter,
if trained to do so. as they phi! for
ward when liitolnd by the hat* sto a
wagon. It is an euby matter to teach
a horse to refus.; to puli ;it either .Urn
halfer or tracts, and it .is c as.
easy'to teach him to pull by “the fi nue
means. If those who drite' hot W
