the claims for almost every description of prop
erty, impressed damages used or DESTROYED by
Union troops during the late war 1t appears
from the records that of one hundred and sew
enteen filed during the months of August and
September, fifteen were rejected, thirteen al
lowed, thirty-four returned to the claimants
attorneys, and the remainder continued for
further evidence, or held under advisement.
The Comptroller of the Currency announces
that bonds have been received for deposit with
the Treasurer of the United States, to an
amount sufficient to secure the entire three
hundred millions of circulation of the National
Banks authorized by law, and no more can be
received after this date. The limit has been
reached, and hereafter 1T will be useless to for
ward bonds, or to apply for an increase of cap
ital or for the organization of new banks, or
to do anything with the expectation of getting
circulating notes.
During the past month one thousand seven
HUNDRED and forty one applications of widows
were focefR0d a5tfio FenSlOn Ofliee, OF which
one thousand five hundred and fifty-four were

CONSUMPTION CURABLE BY DIR.
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 erea-
ted for good, wholesome food, which, by these
medicines will be digested properly, and
good healthy blood made; thus buildIng I'D
the constitution. ENCK'S MAN
DRAKE PILLS cleanse the stomach of all
iious or mucous accumulations; and, by
using the Sea Weed Tonic in connection,
the appetite is restored
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP is
nutricious as well as medicinal, and. by US
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 costive they are not required, for some.
times in diarrhGa 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 a permanent cure is, to
prevent taking cold. Exercise about the
room as much as possible, eat all the richest
food-fat meat, game, and, in fact, anything
the appetite Graves; but be particular and
masticate well. ID W. ca no. / yE
