to the total eradication Of all bilious attacks prompt
to start the sccrrions the liver and give health
tone to the entire system. Indeed. it is ordi-
nary discovery in Medical Science. to have invent
ID remedy for these stubborn complaints, which
tcvclop all the results produced by Il heretofore
trtc use Of calOme-a mineral justly dreaded by
mankind--and acknowledged to be Obstructive in
the extreme to the human system. That the prop
"rties of certain vegetables comprise all the virtues
IF eaomcl. without its Injurious tendencies is now
IN admitted fact. rendered indisputable by scien-
iiic researches and those who the Mandrake
PHI. will be fully sptisied that the bes medicines
re those provided by nature in the common herbs
md roots OF the fields.
The pills open the bowels and correct all bilious
arrangements without salvation or any of the in
furious effects of calonel or other poisons. The
erection of bile is promoted by these pills will be
seen by the altered color of the stools and dgappar-
ng of the sallow complexion and cleansing OF the
tongue.
Ample directions for use accompany each box OF
Ills. and the price Of a quart bottle Of the Sea
Weed Tonic and box of Pills combined is only one

Voluntary testimony.

We. the subscribers residents of Pennington. do
hereby certify that we are well acquainted with
Dr. j. III. Schenck. He was attacked by disease,
which we believe. terminated in Pulmonary Cor.
sumwtion under the operation OF which he was re-
duccd so low to be unable to leave his bed for
long time, and to all appearance was past recovery
lie is now perfectly wel-his cough and fever ha
left HIM. and we feel justified in declaring IL as our
belief that these salutary effects have resulted
from the use of the Pulmonic Syrup.

WIVES AND DAUGHTERs.-Ac cotem-
porary, who is somewhat posted up in
satin and statistics, talks as follows
While the business men Of America
proverbially live poorer, dress shabbier,
work harder, and many mere hours,
than in any other country in the world,
their wives and daughters are ten times
more idle, more extravagant, and
more useless.
1t strikes US there Is some truth in
that extract. Mr.. Brochc, of the house
of Broche, Buckram & Co, tolls from
twelve to sixteen hours per day. Bro
che, dast year made $22, 900 What
became Of it : Ten thousand dollars OF
the same were spent by Mrs. Broche
for new furniture to spite the Max
weils,' while large portion of the bal
ance was expended on Blanche and Sa-
rah,' so that they might go to Newport,
and show the Fantadings' that there
were other diamonds in New York be-
sides these which were inherited from @
great-grandfather, who found in India q
lprincc!y fortune and diseased liver
Brocho had been in business since Is TO-
lie does large and lucrative business.
People who have never been in his par
lor and kitchen imagine that Broche is
worth quarter of a million of dollars,
while those who have been in, wonder
how he lodges the sheriff Broche is
still toiling, and is still making money,
and yet, if he should die tomorrow, it is
questionable whether his assets would
equal his liabilities. Broche will prob
ably end his days by testing the virtue
of shilling's worth of strychnine.-
Should we be one of the jurors who sit
upon the bo1y, we should bring in the
following verdict - Died from the vis-
itation Of an extravagant wife and two
senseless daughters.

DIR. j. SCHENCK'S
PULMONIC SYRUP,
For the cure of Consumption.

The proprietor of this medicine was bimseT
many years ago, reduced SO low as to be given up
by his physcians and friends in the last stage Of
Consumption. When oil hopes of ever getting we'll
had fled. he strongly recommended to uke n
syrup made from old India receipt. which cue
ceeded in etectually cureing him. The family
physicians and a large number of respectabl, gem
temen certified to the facts of this care. and room
the Pulmonic Sytup obtained reputation never
equalled in that section Of the country Creating.
a. this case did sensation second to that only Of
u miracle. DR. Sehenek was waited upon by many
simil arly afflicted. TO whom he administered the
Syrup with the same beneficial results. In fact
such was the notorcty of this medicine. that TN
incnt practicing physcitns had their att, ntion
drawn toward the rising reputation OF 1t, from hav-
ing witnessed it's curative powers, and freely "
tended the hand Of friendship and encouragement
to Dr. Schenek. and introduced the medicine to the
public. and used it in their daily practice.
No other medicine operates upon the system in
the manner that the Pulmonic Syrup does 1t pro-
duces Il healthy action upon the morbid parts. by
purifying them from diseases it promotes the sI-
pectorations allays the cough. rpens The matter in
the lungs. and when it is discharged. it heals ths
opening that the breaking of the tubercles or alb
sccss produces. and the lungs become sound and
sume the performance Of their natural functions
it also soothes the ertatcd portion of the lun and
other organs and thus restores hee parts to health
superior property that the medicine possesses
over all others is. that it contains opium calo-
mel, or any other deletrous medicine
In 1871 DR.. Schcnck removed from Pennington,
New Jersey to philadelphia and commenerd tAs
practice of his profession. where he soon acquired
reputation excelled by none, in curing diteate
that had heretofore been deemed incarable. and he
has since then daily presentad to the world ipoon-
testible evidence Of his success.
Both of his parents died with Consumption, which
appears to baye been hereditary disease with his
fathers family All MS brothers and sisters except
one, died early of this disease, none Of them, but
