Sept. 23, ’7O-BWU’. LOGAN & CAMPBELL. 8E >II-WEEKIjY. Dr. §€IIE.\CK A<tvi«e§ Consump tives to go to Florida, in Winter. Having for the last thirty-five years devoted ; iny whole time and a;centum to the study of j lung diseases and consumption, I feel that 1 un -1 demand fully the course that ought to be pur i sued to restore a tolerably bad case of diseased j luugs to healthy soundness. The first and most j important step is lor the patient to avoid taking I cold, and the best of all places on this continent for this purpose in winter, is Florida, well down in the .State, w here the temperature is regular, and not subject to such variations as in more Northern latitudes. Palatka is a point I can re commend. A good hotel is kept there by Petef man. Last w inter I saw several persons there whose lungs had been badly diseased, but who, under the healing influence of the climate and my medicines, were getting well. One hundred miles further down the river is a point w hich I would prefer to Palatka, as the temperature is more even and the air dry and bracing. Mellonville and Enterprise are loca ted there. I should give a decided preference to Mellonville. It is two miles from river or lake, and it seems almost impossible to take cold there. 'l'he tables in Florida might he better, and pa tients complain at times hut that is a good sign, as u indicates a return of appetite, and when this is the case they generally increase in flesh, and then the lungs must heal. Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and many other places in various parts of Florida, can be safely recommended to consumptives in winter. My reasons for saying so are that patients are less liable to take cold there than where there is a less even temperature, and it is not necessary to say that where a consumptive person exposes himself to frequent colds lie is certain to die shortly. Therefore my advice is, go well down into tlie State out of reach ol the prevailing cast winds and fogs. Jacksonville, or almost any other oftlie localities I have named, will benefit those w ho are troubled with a torpid liver, a dis ordered stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat or cough, but for those whose lungs are diseased a more southern point is earnestly recommend ed. For fifteen years prior to 1869, I was profes sionally in New' York, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia every week, where 1 saw' and ex amined on an average five hundred patients a week. A practice so extensive, embracing ev ery possible phase of lung disease, has enabled me to understand the disease fully, and hence, my caution in regard to taking cold. A person mav take vast quantities of “Sehenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills,” and vet die if he does not avoid taking cold. 111 Florida, nearly every body is using Schenck’s Mandrake* Pills, for the climate is more likely to produce billious habits than more northern latitudes. It is a well established fact tliat natives of Florida rarely die of consump tion, especially those of the southern part. On the other hand, in New' England, one third, at least, of the population die of this terrible dis ease. in the Middle States it does not prevail so largely, still there are many thousands of ca ses there. What a vast percentage ol life vvoud be saved if consumptives were as easily alarm ed in regard to taking fresh cold as they are about scarlet fever, small pox, Ac. But thev are not. They take w hat they' term a little cold, w hich they are credulous enough to believe w ill wear off iii a few'days. They pay no attention to it, and hence it lays the foundation for anoth er and another still, until the lungs are diseased beyond all hope lor cure. My advice to persons whose lungs are affected even slightly is. to lay in a stock of Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic and Schenck’s Mandrake Pills and go to Florida. I recommend these particular medicines becaue I am thoroughly acquainted Avith their action. I know that where they are used in strict accord ance with my directions they will do the work that is required. This accomplished, nature will do the rest. The physician Avho prescribes for cold, cough or night-sweats, and then advises the patient to w alk or ride out every day, will be sure to have a corpse on his hands before long. My plan is to give my three medicines’ in ac cordance Avith the printed directions, exeeot in some cases where a freer use of ;ho Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object is to give tone to the stomach—to get up a good appetite. It is al w avs a good sign w hen a patient begins to grow' hungry. I have hopes of such. With a relish for food and the gratification of that relish comes good blood, and with it more flesh, which isclose ly followed by a healing of the lungs. Then the cough loosens and abates, the creeping chills and clammy night-SAveats 110 longer prostrate and annoy, and the patient gets w ell, provided he avoids taking cold. Now there are many consumptive Avho havo net the means to go to Florida. The question mav he asked, is there no hope for such? Cer tainly there is. My advice to such is, and ever has been, to stay in a w arm room during winter, with a temperature of about seventy degrees, Avhich should be kept regularly at that point, In- means of a thermometer. Let such a patient take his exercise w ithin the limits of tlie room by walking up ami down as much as his strength Avili permit, in order to keep up a healthy circu lation of the blood. I have cured thousands by this system, and can do so again. Consumption is as easily cured as any other disease if it is ta ken in time, and the proper kind of treatment is pursued. The fact stands undisputed on record that Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup. Mandrake Pills, wild Seaweed Tonic have cured very many of what seemed to be hopeless cases ol consump tion. Go w hero you will, you will be almost cer tain to find some poor consumptive w ho has been rescured from the very jaws of death by their use. So far as tlie Mandrake Pills are concerned, every boky should keep a supply of them on hand. They act on the liver better than calomel, ami leave none of its hurtful effects behind. In fact thev are excellent in all cases where a purgative medicine is required. If you have partaken too freely of fruit and diarrhu-a ensues, adoseol the Mandrakes av ill cure you. If you are subject to sick headache, take a dose of the Mandrakes and they will relieve you in two hours. If you would obviate the eflect of a change of water, or the too free indulgence in fruit, take one of the Mandrakes every light or every other night, and you may then drink Avater anil cat Avatermel lons, pears, apples, plums, peeches or corn, with out the risk of being made sick by them. They will protect those who live in damp situations against chills and levers. Try them. They are perfectly harmless. They can do you good only. I have abandoned my professional visits to Boston and New York, but continue to see pa tients at my ollice, No. 15 N. SIXTH street, Phil adelphia, every Saturday, from 9 a. m. to 2 r. m. Those w'ho wish a thorough examination Avitli the Respirometer will he charged live dollars.— The Respironictor declares the exact condition of the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether they are curable or not. But I desire it distinctly understood that the medicines de pends upon their being taken strictly-according to directions. In conclusion, I will say that when persons take my medicines and * their systems are brought into a healthy condition thereby, they are not so liable to take cold, yet no one with diseased lungs can hoar a sudden change of at mosphere without the liability of greater or less irritation of the bronchial tubes. Full directions in all languages accompany my medicines, so explicit and clear that any one can use them without consulting me, and can be bought from any druggist. J. 11. SCIIENCK, M. D. No. 15 N.

None arc wboly God-forsaken ; All Ilis sacred image wear ; None so lost but should awaken In our hearts a brother’s care. Not a mind but has its mission— Power of working woe or weal; So degraded none’s condition, But the world his weight may fee Words of kindness, words of warning, Deem not thou may’st speak in vain; Even those thy counsel scorning, Oft shall they return again. Though the mind, absorbed in pleasure, Holds the voice of counsel light, Yet doth faithful memory treasure What at first it seemed to slight. Words of kindness we have spoken, May, when we have passed away, Heal, perhaps, some spirit broken, Guide a brother led astray. Thus our very thoughts are living, Even when we arc not here ; Joy and consolation giving To the friends who hold us dear. Not an act but is recorded, Not a word but has its weight; Every virtue is rewarded, Outrage punished, soon or late.

The influence of Christianity on so ciety is net exerted through the cannon of the warror, and the dispatches of the statesman, but in «.he sweet breath ings of truth that come on the opening petals of the breast of infancy, like spice-laden zephyrs from the land of the blest —in the gentle words of love that full indewey freshness on the won dering ear of childhood, from gray-hair ed sweet-voiced matrons —in the name less tellings of high and holy things, wrapped in the deep, unutterable voices of the ancient eternities that come to the silent ear of youth, before the din and strife of the babbling world have stunned these inner senses of the soul —in the longing and wistful thoughts of things of deep, abytsmal mystery that steal into the soul in its lonely musings in the solitary chamber —in the deep hush of the moaning forest — in the awful silence if the hollow mid night— in the seasons of the gloomy doubt and frantic effort to scale the prison wall of mystery and darkness that rises and closes in encircling si lence around all— in times of heart sickness and disapointment, when reaching forth the hand of warm, con fiding trust, it grasps the cold and slipery skin of the adder —it is then that Christianity, with its wonderful tellings of intinite things, comes with apocalyptic splendor and power, and ‘revealing itself to the soul, creates those martyr spirits that stamp their lineaments on the enduring rock. Tim Fully of Pki je. “After all,” says the late Sidney Smith “take some quiet, sober moment of life, and add together the two ideas of pride, and ol man: behold him creature of a spau high, stalking through infinite space m all the grandeur of littleness. — Perched on a speck of the universe, every wind of Heaven st likes into his blood the coldness of death —his soul floats from ids body like melody from the string; day and night, as dust on the wheel, he is rolled along on the heavens, through a labarv nth of worlds, and all the creations of God are flaming above and beneath. Is this a creature to make himself a crown of glory; to deny his owu flesh, to m.-ck at his fellow, sprung from the dust, to wnich both will soon return!” BgU The >:eat Trees of California, —a California correspondent of the charleston Courier Ins the following: One of our big trees has been cut down, and is to be forwarded Fast for exhibition. Barnum, I believe, is tlie projector of the scheme, the difficulties which would certainly deter a less en terprising man. The one selected is in Fresno county, and although by no means a giant amongst giants it willi give those who see it a good idea of | tii • mammoth proportions sometimes attained by our forest kings. After being foiled it took three saws fastened together (making in length twenty-four feet) with two men at each handle, four days to saw off the butt cut. The diameter of the stump is twenty-three feet six inches, without bark, aud the anual rings show an age of 1500 years. Three men accomplish ed the felling in five and a half days, ; by cutting at the roots, which were in terlaid like the muscles in the human system. One of its neighbors measured one hundred and twenty-two feet and four inches in circumference and was near ly one hundred feet in height. XO. 26. Acorns ass ood. The ivetor of a parish on th bor ders of the New Forest wrote a letter in the newspapers, this last Septem ber, saying his poor parishioners gath ered acorns; and that ho would Bend, on their behalf, a sack of acorns to any address for five shillings. I my self saw a woman busily employed, With her children, picking up acorns. She told me that she took them to a pig-feeder in the neighboring town, who gave her five pence for each peck of acorns. Ido not kuow if this par ticular pig-feeder followed out Evelyn’s recommendation, which was, *‘a peck of acorns a day, w itb a little bruu, will make a hog increase a pound weight per diem for two months together.”— Paulus, a Danish physician, says “a handful or two of small oak buttons, mingled with oats, and given to hors es, w hich are black, will, in a few days’ eating, alter their color to a fine dap ple gray; and this because of the vit rol abounding in the tree.” A very questionable statement; though the astringent properties of oak bark are well-known; and this aslringency also, belongs to the acorn. Squirrels are fond of acorns, as wells as beech-nuts, and, as no acorn will grow to a tree beneath the shade of the parent tree, it is impassible that we may owe to the equine s the bury ing of many an acorn that has sprung up and grown to be a lord of the for est. Deer are also very fond of acorns. There is a large deer paik near to me; and many of my cottage neighbors, gain several shillings wherewith tu help in paying their Michaelmas rent, by gathering acorns and selling them to the keeper for the deer. Not that the deer have to depend upon the cot tagers for the supply of the baby oaks, for they are able to pick up acorns for themselves, as fine oak trees surround and stud their park. It was only the other day that I witnessed a sight in this deer park which I greatly desired could have been seen by Mr. Harrison Weir, w hose skillful pencil would have admirably portray’d the pretty group of deer gathered under a wide-spreading oak. A fine stag had reared on his hind legs, and, standing in this herald ic position, had reached with his anU lers he gave a vigorous shake; as he did so, the acorns showered down among the deer and their hinds, who were awaiting the result of the antler ed stag’s labors of love. It was a pleasing picture; and both deer and fawns seemed to enjoy their sylvan desert of baby-oaks. — Once a Week. Raleigh, November 22.—The Legia-* lature organized yesterday. Hon. TANARUS« J.
