TIIE C A USE A N D Cr re O F CONST J M PTION. —The primary cause of Consumption is derange ment of the digestive organs. This derange ment produces deficient nutrition and assimila tion. By assimilation I mean that process by which tlie nutriment of the food is converted into blood, and thence into the sol ills of the body. Persons with digestion thus impaired, having the slightest predisposition to pulmon ary disease, or if they take cold, will be very liable to have Consumtiou of the Lungs in some of its forms; and I hold that it will he impossi ble to cure any case of Consumption without first restoring a good digestion and healthy as similation. The very first thing 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 Sehenek’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 that 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 Sehenek’s Mandrake Pills; hut there remains 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. It is in a con dition like this that Sehenck’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 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 tne cir culation. and thence distributed to the diseased lungs. There it ripens all morbid matters, whether in the form of abscesses or tubercles, and then assists Nature to expel all the disease matter, in the torm of free expectoration, when once it ripens. It is then, by the great healing and purifying properties of Schenck’s Putmonic Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities are healed up sound, and my patient is cured. The essential thing to he done in curing Con. sumption is to get up a good appetite and a good digestion, so that the body will grow in fiesh 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,—a 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 off 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 iu the other to heal up, there is hope. Bridles, 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 Mcdizinesjn 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 Schenck’s Medicines, care should lie 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 lias but par tially recovered from the effects of a bad cold is far more liable to a relapse than one who lias been entirely cured; ana 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 pulmonary 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 of atmosphere will inflame. The grand secret of mv success with my Medicines consists in my ability to subdue inflammation instead of pro voking it, as many of the 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 carefully shielded from all irritating influ ences. The utmost caution should be observed in this particular, as without it a cure under almost any circumstances is an impossibility. The person should be kept on a wholesome and nutritious diet, and all the Medicines con tinued until the body lias restored to it the nat ural quanity of flesh and strength. I was myself cured by this treatment of the worst kind 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 I expect to take possession of my new building, at the North east Corner of Sixth and Arch Srects, where f shall be pleased to give advice to all who may min ire it. Full directions accompany a’l my Remedies, so that a person in any part of the world can be readily cured by a strict observance of the s ime. J. If. SCHKVCK. M 1>„ Philadelphia.

Tlionms Horde* man, Jr., Delivered at the Sec* °»*d Annual Fair oft lie Central Cherokee Georgia Agricultural Association. at Cartersville, on riiurMlay, tlie sth day oYOeto* her, and Repeated at Ogle thorpe Park, Atlanta, Oetober 19th, 1871. An Earnest Appeal to Geor gians to Build Up The Grand Old Commonwealth. [Note. —This address is copied from the Atlanta New Era, and is the same in substance, with a few slight altera tions, as the one delivered at the Car tersville Fair. We have never been furnished with an exact copy of this able Address, and think it entirely un necessary, as the one is a repetition of the other, with the exception of a few introductory remarks. Cauteusville Exp afss.] Ladies and Gentlemen: At the request of the Executive Committee of the Atlanta Agricultur al and Industrial Association, I have consented to repeat, in part, an ad dress which I had the honciV to deliver it a recent Fair in Cartersville. lam sure, had I consulted my own feelings, I could not have complied with this request, and after the exhibition that we have had from this stand, to-day, I ft 1 t hat one must have courage, in deed, to follow in the wake of the 3’oung orators who have preceded me. [Applause.] I say, that, if I consulted my owu feelings, I would not have been here to-day. But, where so much iuterest and so noble a spirit has been manifested by the people of Atlanta in rebuilding her fallen for tunes, and thereby enhancing the in terests ana prosperity of our State, I think that it is eminently the duty of every one, when called upon, to aid her in her ownward march of improve ment. When we look back at her course and remember her as I have seen her and as some before me to day have seen her, decked in her bri dal robes, and then as we have seen her a widow in her weeds stricken by the blast and crushed by the whirlwind and the storm, it must be a source of great pleasure and of pride to see her to-d iy a widow with her weeds thrown off, with the widow’s cap upon her cheek, and the bewitching smile that widows only have—more beautiful by far than when arrayed iu her brid.il robes. And, therefore, I say that when we see such an exhibition of en terprise and of spirit, we can but con gratulate ourselves, and congratulate our whole people, that there is life in the old State yet. I speak not now of that melancholy ] existence that characterized the chil dren of Israel when they sat down by the Rivers of Babylon and wept, when they remembered Zon, nor of that life of angry repining and tanlt-finding sorrow, which was exemplified in the prophet ot the tribe of Zebulon when in the morning of his troubles, as he looked upon the withered gourd that the evening before had blessed him with its freshness and its shade, he exclaimed in the bitter accents of a Providence- defying nature: ‘‘lt is bet ter for me to die than to live;” but of a life, despite the withered palms that overhang every household, despite of captured cities, sacked tempks, and ruined fortunes, tli it is binding its ev ery energy to restore joy to the house hold, plenty to the coffer, independence to the people, and honor and position to the loved old Commonwealth. — [Applause.] A life that sits not grieving over the fortunes of the past, but looking tearfully at its glory and its greatness, shakes the dust of its ruins from its wings, and pluming them for a loftier, bolder fight, will rest them not until she has gained that exalted height where, overlooking her former greatness and position, in the fullness of her fortune and her honor, she can sing again the song of Georgia’s “uprising,” Georgia’s great ness, and Georgia’s glory. Gloomy, melancholy, sorrowful brooding, never restored a lost joy, a waste J opportu nity, or a broken fortune. Job sat re pining over the conflagration of his property, the loss of his children, and the desolation of his hopes, until his calamities forced him to curse his fate and pray for death; but this did not restore his herds, his children, his for tune, or his happiness. Daiker and darker grew the day of his being, un til the sun of his hopes set in the night of despair, nor did morning dawn un til, listening to tne voice of Providence, heard above the roar of the whirlwind, he arose and girded up his loins like a man ready for the duties of life, and the requirements of Heaven. Then it was that joy flowed into his bosom—a gl ddeniug stream; his desolate heart beat with pulsations of strange de light as new sous and daughters sprang up, the pride and solace of his years; his pastures, long herdless and abandoned, teemed again with in creased flocks and folds; and the old patriarch, iu the decline of life, despite the afflictions of the past, its bereave ments and its poverty, looked out up on a present rich with the possessions of earth and a future radiant with the promise of a plenteous contentment. Cease, then, ye iueu of Georgia, to weep over the wretched fortunes of the past. The tree has fallen, so it must lie; yet from its branches the acorn may be gathered that, implanted now, will grow up a mighty oak, under whose wide spreading shadow, iu coming years, yonr children can sit and sing tuose good old songs that gladdeued the hearts of their fathers and mothers, who will then sleep in its shade. The waters of plenty are spilled, but the vessel that contained them is unbroken; and here in the wilderness of your desolation are Ho rebs still, which, if struck by the rod of energy will pour for h their gushing streams thereby enabling you to till them again even to overflowing; but they will remain cold, barren rocks unless the Moses of the land strike them with the rods of their power. The mountains of your State lire rich with mineral wealth, yet it will remain valueless and profitless unless organ ized labor digs from its bed and con verts into uses, remunerative to the laborer and beneficial to mankind.— Your rich valleys, susceptible of a cul ture that would abundantly repay the toiling husbandman, are as worthless as so many barren wastes, unless that husbandman prepares them for the grain, that Providence, in his bounty, will ripen for the harvest. Your no ble streams will pour their waters to the sea as they did when the red man hunted their banks, uuless accumula ted capital combines to turn those waters into manufacturing utility, and thus give employment to thousands unable to plow a furrow or drive a plane. The elements of greatness and independence are yet iu Georgia, and all that is requisite to secure them is determination aud effort. Labor is tbe only talisman of success; action, will, application are all we" need to make Georgia the pride of her sons and the glory of the States. With a soil susceptible of the highest culture, with a climate unsurpassed for salu brity, with a people homogeneous in their wants and necessities, Georgia stands to-day, in these respects, with out a peer or a parallel; aud she is laggard in the great march of improve ment. Why is it thus written of you, my countrymen ? Are you degenerate sons of illustrious sires? The same sun that germinated the seed and ri pened the grain for your fathers, blesses you to-day with his warmth and his power. The same seasons that brought their respective blessings for them yet return to you, laden with their gifts and their offerings. The same earth that yielded them a plen teous support and a rich subsistence, invites you to labor in lmr fields, whitening still with richest harvests.— The same God that gaveth the sun shine and the shower iu the days of prosperity is yet able to give the in crease in this, the dark hour of yonr existence. Up, then, ye men and wo men of Georgia, and iu the name of all that is bright in the past and hope ful iu the luture, with determirnd will Strike one more blow for Georgia’s weal; Strike with the plow the fertile field ; Strike with the factory's busy wheel; Strike with the miner's edge of steel; Strike with the merchant’s thrifty zeal; Strike oft, strike long, strike all who feel Proud of her rivers and her rills ; Proud of her valleys and her hills ; Proud of the wealth her soil conceals; Proud of her grain and cotton fields ; Proud of her varied, fertile soil ; Proud of her hardy sons of toil ; Proud of her women, her greatest pride, Lovelier here than all the world beside Then will her bonds indeed be riven ; Then will new hope, new life be given To Georgians all, who, where’er they roam. Will point with pride to their dear Georgia home. Educated labor, diversified and di rected, is all that is essential to realize for your State all that patriot hope can anticipate or patriot heart desire, and for this diversified labor, every in terest in the present and every hope for the future, plead and invite the energies and enterprise of her sons.— Your streams must be vocalized with the music of machinery for this. — Cherokee Georgia has water capacity sufficient to turn the many Kpiud»es fwi Lowell, and contiguous to It em you have fertile fields that can supply ihe thousands engaged therein, with the necessaries of life, creating at the same time a home market for tne production of your soil and a home supply for the products of your looms. Heie, too, is an inviting field for the mechanical arts in your great natural laboratory of mineral wealth, whose inexhaustible treasures lure you to-day with then richness and their value. One of Georgia’s greatest wants to day is skilled mecuamcs, not your mere builders of houses, lout your Tu bal Cains, workmen in copper, and brass, and iron, to make your engines and machinery, your c rs, your culti vators—in fiue, to work to advantage aud profit the ores now lying profitless in your mountains. Sue needs, as friend Greeley says, more shops, more forges, more lnruaces, more factories, more schocl-nouses to develop the la tent energies of her people. Let the tire of your furuacvS be seen among your bills and in your valleys, and let Georgia artisans, educated in Geor gia’s mechanical tchools and vvoik shops, supply your i.eees. ities lrom these furnaces and forges, iuu by coal obtained from your mountains. Let the hum of the factory be in aid above the roar of your wuteifalls. and the song of the happy operative break up on your morning devotions or your evening quiet. Let your common schools—supplied with all the appli ances of education—be brought to the doorways of every citizen of the State, be lie humble or in high {ilace, and Georgia will have begun in earnest her march toward iud -pendence and greatness. Exhaust not your fertile soil in the cultivation alone of corn and cotton. Small grain and the grasses wi l piv-vr equally remunera tive, for jK>und of clover bay, every sheaf of and barley, and oats, will ever com urn ml rerun tier itive prices in the markets of the worin.— Study, my countrymen, the enabling art which to-day engages your time and your labor, for agriculture, like the mechanic arts, n quires patient study. It, is a fatal error to suppose that every man who can plow a fur row, who knows when it is seed time and harvest, is therefore a farmer.— Successful agriculture requires educa ted labor. I speak not simply of the education cf theoretical agriculturists, but the practical experience, based up on a knowledge of geology, chemistry and vegetable phisiology, of men who look upon agriculture, not simply as a great necessity, but as an art coeval with man’s civilization, and the basis of every art that adorns and ennobles the human race. The agriculturist should k low the analysis of his soil, its wants and necessities; for old mother earth, like the human system, has wants, the supplying of which is essential to her maintenance and support He should have a correct knowledge of the properties of mineral, anim and and vegetable man ures, and the mode of applying them. You would think strange of an accredited piiy.-ician, who would ad minister to a patient, without having a diagnosis of Ins disease, or ail} knowledge of the remedies that the case demanded; and yet, with the same culpable ignorance, you often administer to the condition of the soil, without knowing one of hs constitu ent elements, and what remedies are best suited to its requirements and necessities. Yes, my countrymen, the professed friends of agriculture and the cultivation of the soil, you are in many instances the Cassiuses, the Oas cas, and Brut uses, that have morta'ly stabbed the Cteiar of your l ive. And when I look upon “the bleeding piece of earth,” when I hold up the rent mantle and see where your daggers pierced, with stricken Autony I ex claim : ‘I am no orator : But as you know mi all—a plain, blent man— For I have neither wit, nor words, nor wo v th, Action nor utterance, nor the power of speech To stir men’s blood- I only speak right on : I tell you that whioli you yourselves do know; Show you sweet Caesar’s wounds, poor, poor dumb mouths, And bid them speak for me.” And your miserably wasted Gelds are speaking; your gullied hillsides, your scaled hilltops, are speaking; your de fect ive rotation crop system is speak ing. The remedies and stimulants you are ignorantly administering to a famished soil are speaking; your exten sive farming area system is speaking; your defective preparation of sail is speaking; your dependence upon the products of distant localities is speak ing; and each and all are speaking ii. tongues that should move the very soil upon which you stand to rise and mu tiny. [Applause.] Study, my couu trymeu, the ennobling art of agricul ture, which ii engaging to-d y seven eights of the people of almost every civilized c.immunity on the globe. Far back in the annals of the ages gone we read of Noah, the husbandman, and Abel, sacrificing “the firstlings of the llock.” Again, we see the Egyptians in their admiration of this Heaven-in spired art, “worshipping the ox for his services as a laborer” in the baru yard, and the ancient Roman venerating the plow that broke this soil, while Rome’s greatest encomium upon one of her si-ns was to say he was a judicious and industrious husbaudman. As it was glorious iu the past, so it is eminently honorable in the present—iu active in strumentality in building up those moral and industrial habits which give position to governments and perma nence to their institutions. A tho rough knowledge of agriculture, its wants and requirements, will lead to a well devised system of diversified labor, and tins important lesson Georgia should learn at once. Look at your ►State to-day, poor aud impoverished, not because you have not labored, for no people groaning under adversity have so heroically struggled against misfortunes, but because you have la bored unwisely and too much in one channel Learn a lesson, my countrymen, from those who are being enriched by your felly. Look at the great West; and she is great iu all the elements of greatness. S e her as I have just seen her, her labor directed iu a thousand channels, and each one converging in the great ocean of her prosperity.— She makes her own machinery from her own mineral ores; she tu .kes her own woolen goods, her own furniture, her own farming utensils, builds ves sels and freights them; large cities aud peoples them with a thrifty population, aud in addition to all these, furnishes yon, people of Georgia—and I say it to your shame —with your Hour and coru, your bacon and your mules, that you may raise cotton *o enable you to purch .se again the products of her la bor. All these yon can do for vour S. -ll* .Smith 4* Cos., Proprietors. selves. You have the minerals and the coal sleeping in yonr mountains; von have the water power.at your ve ry doors; you have «ho forest in all its native grow h and beauty, and you have a soil peculiarly adapted to the wants and necessities of yonr State.— Awake, then, to the importance of living at home and supplying your selves. Theu will success brighten tne horizon of yonr present, aud hope gild her heaven with the radiant splendors of your future. lam anxious to see the day again in my old State when our farmers will get their meat out of their own smoke houses; w hen the ox will know his owner and the ass his master’s crib, for I assure you if the latter animal could speak, as did Ba laam’s of old, it would be iu denuncia tion of your present mode of farming, and your uncharitable practice of forc ing him to earn a subsistuuce by graz ing with Nebuchadnezzar in the scan ty grass fields of the country. Aye, say you, these nre stubborn truths; but our labor has been taken from us, aud we are uuaccustomed to menial service. Where are the bauds the God of Nature gave you, and the determined will that characterized your fathers? Yes, say you, we have the will, w’e acknowledge the necessity; but then labor is degradiug, and toil the burden of u curse. Fatal delu sion, miserable subterfuge for indolent pride! Labor is not a curse attendant upon Adam’s fall. God did not iutend iu creating man that he should sit an idle admirer of EJeu’s beauties, for he was ei joined to labor iu that garden, to “keep and to dress it” No briars or brambles were to grow among its buds and blossoms—no foul weeds among the plants that were unfolding for him their beauty and their loveli uess. Creative agency the very day man was located in EJeu—its trees unt-uclied by blight, ils groves redo lent with the perfume of flowers, and sighing through their branches the sweet music of Paradise, with plenty above and around them—enjoined up on him the duty, hence the dignity, of labor. Read, tuen, my countrymen, in the very preface of your being, the as surance of divine will that you labor in the sphere assigned you. I know it grat s harshly upon the ear of arisr toeratic refinement and wealthy indo lence to assure them t-lmt labor is a heaven-enjoiued duty, but there is the record and the decree, and he or she who would mar the one or efface the other should be forced to glean with Ruth iu the barley field, or grind corn with Samson i:i tbe prison bouse.— Our sensitive young man, ashamed to be seen at the plough or the bench! Vain young lady, tmwilling to ac knowledge you can sew or cook ! Go read the iiistoiy of the first laborer upon record. It was the Almighty Godhead, the great I Am; “Iu the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” The very first line iu creation’s history evidences the labor of His hands. Nor did he rest there from until He made the firmament from the midst of the waters, set the h.lls upon their everlasting founda tions, fixed the sun and the moon in their spheres in the heavens, created tile earth, and placed man in domin ion over it. Then, aud not till then, did He rest from the works He had made. Nor was He ashamed of the labor of His hands; for in the fullness »>f His exultation He pronounced it good. Away, then, with the idea that labor is degrading, and toil unmanly. Sweat of the brow aud labor of tne brain are the great talisinen of success iu every voeatiou of life. Work I It is tbe rod that strikes the Horeb of all honor, of all distinction, of all succkss. Wealth smiles in its coffers, plenty crowns its baard, peace broods over its altars, while glory wreathes it with the fadeless flowers of immortality. Honest toil dignifies character, en nobles nature, refines poverty, eleva tes man. By it Galliieo wove for him self a chaplet of stars, and Harsehel wreathed his brow with a coronet bright as tbe satellites he discovered. By it Fulton ascended on wirtgs of steam the rugged eminence of worldly renown, and Morse with electric rap idity transmitted his name to the coming generations. By it the gold en gates of success are unbarred, and tbe avenues are open to these inviting heights, where wealth, and honor, and fame await the successful comers with chaplets anti crowns. Labor, then, my countrymen, educated aud diver sified, will soon show its beneficial re sults in increased intelligence, accu mulated wealth and universal pros perity.

And it will not be long before joy will kindle again in the sky of your beit g, and prospeiity gladden your hearts with the fulness of its treasures.— Work—well-directed labor—is the key that will unlock to ns the treasures we desire. Fathers, teach your sons that nidus*ry is the parent of every v.rtue, uil ness the mother of every vice. Teach them that David, the shepherd, was as honored as was David the Km".
