MEDICAL PReGREss.-It is . common re
proach to medical men that they are more
"old 'ogyish," or more anti-progressive than
any other class Of people. This censure will
not apply to the celebrated DR.. J. H.
Schenck, Of Philadelphia, whose discoveries
ia medical science entit!e him to the praise
and gratitude oi the whole civilized world
For two innovations in particular, DR.. s.
deserves the highest credit. lie has explo-
ded tho old conceit that Consumption IS in.
curable, and he has proved that calomel.
(the most dangerous and ernicous article
Of the pharmacop0ia) may be dispensed
with in medical practice. DR.. Schenck Of
fers . valuable substitute for calomel which
is pr wed by much experience to answer all
the purposes to which the mineral poison is
supposed to be adapted, and. at the same
time, it is proved to be perfectly harmless in
its operation. This remedy is comprised in
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. As . certain
cure for Consumption, DR.. Schenck's Pul.
monic Syrup has been tested for more than
. quarter Of . century. by innumerable ex-
perments, beginning with the case Of DR..
Schenck himself, who. from what appeared
to be the very last stage Of pulmonary
disease, was restored to robust health BY
the usc Of this medicine. DIR. Schenck' =
great medicines are now offered for sale in
this city By oil Druggists.
AN Iowa Horse TRlunPHANr.-Bashaw
has won a high reputation as = tr, tier,
and during his various trials, has made
time that his owners need never b
ashamed Of. lie has generally been a "a
vorite wherever exhibited, and the numer-
Gus trials Of speed to which he has been
subjected At our County Fair Grounds have
rendered him Is well known here as though
he were Davenport Horse" lie has
lately been trotting at the Dubuque Course
With the intention Of rObbing him OF his
well earned laurels, two eastern horses were
brought upon the turf TO oppose him
These were Mcclellan, . Boston racer, and
Medoc. from some part Of the East, the
exact locality Of which we cannot just now
recall to mind. The trial came off on
Thursday last at Dubuque. The supporters
OF Medoc and Mcclellan staked their last
dollar to beat "this Iowa colt" McClele
Ian was driven by Joe Simpson, Medoc, as
our sp ,rting readers will remember, having
beaten Cooley at Chicago on the 4th Of last
July. was driven by Crooks, who ha died
Dexter's ribbons when McKsever, the owner
Of Butler, vas killed at the same Course
The judges were John Russ, McMaster. and
David Hammond, governing their decisions
by the rules Of the New York Fashion
Course. Perry drove Bashaw. We extract
the following from the Dubuque Herald
Considerable trouble was experienced in
getting of, Mcclellan persistcntly breakin.
the moment lie approached the score. On
the fifth trial they were sent Of Medoc
slightly 'eadlng. On the first quartz
Mcclellan broke and passed Bashaw On the
run setting him down behind Medoc's sulky,
Bashaw made a sudden dash however. and
At the quarter stretch passed McClcllsn and
placed himself by the side Of Medoc. On
the second quarter . hearty brush ensued,
but the speed was TO great for Medoc and
he went of from his feet, rAen Bashaw
passed him like a shoi. and crossed the hair
mile score neck IN ddrance. lie con inu.d
to lead. and though the gallant Chicago nag
made some desperate Efforts, he could not
pass him. He broke frequently end run on
Bashaw, but in getting down invariably lost.
Past the third quarter and down the hume
stretch Bsshaw came at . rattling gait,
making the first mile in 2:S7t On the
second mile the position Of the horses was
hot reversed, Bashaw leading Medoc by
three lengths, whilc Mcclellan tumbled
helplessly along up and down, in the rear
The stallion settled to his work with will,
never breaking once aud trtt:ng bcauti-

rounded into the fourth down the home
stretch. At this point Medos done some
running and got alongside, but lost, and
Bashaw came to the stand winner Of the
heat BY half length in 6:12.
In regard to The second beat the Herald
continues:
The tide Of betting vas now changed and
TIE odds was oil in favor Of Bashaw. A few
still had confidence in Aedoc aud thought
that he would take the second heat but were
careful about betting much money. Poor
Mcclellan could ncitt er trot or run fast
enough to keep up, and he vas wisely with
drawn from the contest. At the tap Of the
drum the horses came promptly TO time and
after scoring twice wereSivsn the word
Bashaw immediately settled himself into .
square trot, aud soon showed his nose in
front Of Medoc, who hung desperately to
his wheel. On the second quarter the latter
broke and summing by the side Of BAshaw
past the judges stand succeeded in break
ing him up. Medoc rushed ahead and at.
tempted 70 take the track. but Bashaw vac
too quick for him and closed up the gap in>
etantly. lie took the lead and held It, while
Medoc broke frequently. Once or twice he
closed up the gaps very crcditably but at the
critical moment he always broke. Bashaw
trotted the last heat with great speed, and
won the heat and race in the same time aG
