CONSUMPTION DURABLE BY DR.
SCHENCK'S MEDICINES

TO CURE CONSUMPTION, the system
must be prepared so that the lungs will heal.
To accomplish this, the liver and stomach
must first be cleansed and an appetite crea-
ted for good, wholesome food, which, by these
medicines will be digested properly, and
good healthy blood made; thus building up
the constitution. sc Ii f n CK'S MAN
DRAKE PILLS cleanse the stomach of all
bilious or mucous accumulations and, by
using the Sea Weed Tonic in connection,
the appetite is restored
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP is
nutric;ous as well as medicinal, and, by U.s.
ing the three remedies, all Impurities are
| expelled from the system, and good, whole
some blood made, which will repel all dis
ease. If patients will take these medicines
according to directions, Consumption very
frequently in its last stage yields readily
10 their action. Take the pills frequently,
to cleans the liver and stomach. 1t
does not follow that because the bowels are
| not costlye they are not required, for some
times IN dlarrhGa they are necessary. The
stomach must be kept healthy, and an appe-
tite created to allow the Pumonic Syrup to
act on the respiratory organs properly and
allay any irritation. Then all that is re-
quired to perform permanent cure is, 70
prevent taking cold. Exercise about the
room as much as possible, cat all the richest
food-fat meat, game, and, in fact, anything
the appetite Graves; but he particular and
masticate well. I'd w. ca. no. VI.

Signs Of a Severe Winter.

From all quarters we hear of pheno
menas which are generally regarded as
presages of a severe winter. For in
stance: Hives overaowing with honey
unus ual thickness Of corn husks and the
furs of wild beasts; the migration of rats
from the West to the East; and as the
season advances, we suppose there will be
added to this list of signs, the extraordin-
airy stores of nuts laid up by the squirrels.
However much we may feel disposed to
smile at such omens and leave them to
the credence Of the ignorant, in view of
the venerable antiquity of faith reposed
in them, they ere in some degree respec-
tablo, and it would be we'll for even the
most incredulous 10 be prepared for Sc
we're winter.

Gentlemen who claim to be thoroughly
informed about the matter, say the South
ern leaders expect the Constitutional
amendment to be ratified; that when it
shall become part and parcel of the organ
ic law most, if not all, the Southern States
will consent to enfranchise the blacks up
on condition that the disabilities imposed
by the third section are removed 1t i,
said South Carolina will lead the way -
The danger is that having got rid of the
penalties Of the third section the South
ern constitutions would be changed so as
to exclude the blacks again.

so that no one need hesitate TO buy watch
now from the expectation that it will bs
cheaper at some future time. The test Of

More than 100000 Watches,
have given our productions the very highe,,
rank among tlmckeepers. Commencing with
the determination TO make thoroughly excel

creased as the public became acquainted
with their value, until for months together,
we have been unable to supply the demand.
We have repeatedly enlarged our factory
buildings until they now cover over three
acres of ground. and give accommodation to
more than eight hundred workmen.
We are fully justified in stating that we
now make MORE THAN ONE-HALF OF
ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES. The different grades
are distinguished by the following trade
