SOUTHERN MEDICAL HOUSE.
nR. SHUMAN has, after an experience of ten
IL years, established the above refuge from
quackery, self labelled Indian or German doc
tors, and pretenders of witchcraft and impostors
in general.
This is the only place where a sure and speedy
cure can be obtained in the world for all improp-
er and evil habits, gonorrhea, gleet, seminal
weakness, syphilis, primary, secondary, and ter
tiary, organic weakness, pains in the lsins, strc-
lures, general debility, prostration, nervousness
restless nights, palpitaton of the heart, ringing
in the ears, loss of memory, confusion, me!an-
choly, affections of the head, throat, nose, and
skin, and all those peculiar disorders arising
from the ndiscretion of youth, rendering them
unfit for either business, study, society, or mar
riage.
DR.. s. has the greatest remedies in the known
world for diseases of the blood, gonorrhea, gleet
structures, syphilis, seminal weakness, self-abuse
&c. There is no case in which they fail to cure
in from 3 to days.
Victims of these horrible complaints, who
would wish to be valuable men and ornaments
to society, should embrace the earliest opportu-
nifty for relief
DR.. Shuman has made the mcst complete ar
rangcments for the comfort of his patients who
come from a distance. They will be furnished
with the most pleasant and agreeable quarters,
necessary diet, and made as comfortable as they
would be at a first class hotel at less than half
the cost.
Do not forget the name and number. Dr. Shu-
mans Office is on the corner of Sixth street and
Pennsylvania avenue, Clarendon Hotel, opposite
the National Hotel, Washington, D. @.
Per; ;ons at II distance should enclose stamp

Various parties have been enticed from my
institution by certain swindlers on back streets
in this city, who will rue 1t till the day Of their
death. A word to the wise Is sufficient.

SCHENCK'S Mandrake Pills, for Liver Com
~ plant
A SUBSTITUTE FOR CALOMEL.
If your bowels are costive,
TRY THEM.
If you have worms,
TRY THEM.
II your breath is bad,
TRY THEM.
If you feel drowsy,
Try THEM.
If you ere low-spirited
TRY THEM.
II you have a sick headache,
TRY THEM.
If you have taken a drop too much,
TAKE A FULL DOSE.
They only cost % cents box,
TRY THEM.
Blue Mass, and other preparations Of Mercury,
actually produce more suffering and death than
the diseases which they profess to cure.
And yet this corrosive mineral, so denounced
by the allopathic doctors, is prescribed by them
almost universally in cases of Liver Complaint,
Consumption of Lungs, &c.
THE MANDRAKE PILLS
Are composed entirely of roots and herbs, OBJ
tanned from the great storehouse of Nature, and
their salutary effects will appear as soon as the
medicine is brought to the test of fair expert
ment. SCHENCk'S MANDRAKE PILLS do
not produce any nausea or sickness of the stom-
ach (; but when given for Dyspepsia, it may be
proper to use them in connection with SCHENCKS
SEAWEED TONIC. By this judcious treatment
the digestive faculties are speedily restored to
their full vgor, and the worst case of indigestion
may be cured.
When we reflect that the liver is the largest
internal organ of the body, that to it is assigned
the important duty Of 6ltering the blood and pre-
pairing the bile, that it is subject to many disor-
ders, and that when tits diseased, or inactive
the whole body suffers sympathetically, it is not
surprising that medicine which can restore the
healthy operations Of the liver should produce
wonderful changes in the general health, and ef-
feet cures which may appear to be almost mirac-
ulous. Headache OF long continuance, severe
pains in the side, breast, and shoulders, aching
of the limbs, feeling OF general weakness and
wretchedness, and other alarming or distressing
symptoms, indicative Of imperfect or disordered
action Of the liver, are speedily removed by the
use Of SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS.
Costiveness, Piles, bitter or sour quotations,
and that indescrbable feeling of oppression, men
tai anxiety, languor, lethafgy, and depression of
spirits, which unfit a man for the management
Of business, and the enjoyment of life, are all
lieved by the use of SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE
PILLS.
Ny Dr. J. Fl. SCHENCK can be found at the
Avenue House the Sd Wednesday of each month.

p The issue appears at last to have been distinctly
made at Charleston, the firing upon the Star of the
West bearing every appearance oactua hostities and
of the existence OF state of war.
As things are moving now, we cannot say what a
day or an hour may bring forth it is evident howeve
that they are rapidly tending to such point as will re-
der reconciliation impossible, unless something prompt.
~ done The very fact that, with few exceptions
as IN the case of North Carolina, the whole country
bristes with arms is in itself fearful consideration
since it tempts to hasy action by abridgng the time
which might otherwise be taken up in preparation and
thus leaves less time for the subsistence of excitement
The manufacturers of arms appear to be about the only
people that are doing any amount of business. The
masses at the North taking up the cries of their
leaders, and strong determination begins to be mani
tested in favor of maintaining the Federal connection
by force We see the growth of this feeling shad-
owed forth very plainly in the action of public meetings
in that section, and in the tone of the Republican pa
pers. In fact this tone is not confined to the Repub
can press, but is less participated in by
the most moderate and conservative papers, like the
Journal Of Commerce.

Company that it was no mere parade, but arduous
and thorough drill in all the manceuvres of skirmshng
troops, many of these maneuvres being new and all
executed in a most creditable manner. The Company
was actually under arms and at drill some six hours
sometimes march, sometimes run, firing in every
posture and position known the manual of their branch
of the service.
