Consumption Curable by Dr. Schemck's
Medicines.


To cure consumption, the system must be pre-
pared so that the lungs viii heal To accomplish
this, the stomach and liver must first be cleansed
and an appetite created for good wholesome food,
which by these medicines will be cigested prop
erly, and good healthy blood made; thus build
ing up the constitution. Scheneks Mandrake
Bilrs 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 nutritious as well
as medicinal, and by using the three remedies all
impurities are expelled from the system, and good
wholesome blood made, which will repel all dis
case If patients viii take these medicines ac-
cording to directions, Consumption very frequent
Iy in its last stage yields readily to their action
Take the pills frequently to cleanse the liver and
stomach. 1t does not follow that because the
bowels are not costive they are not required, for
sometimes in diarrhoa they necessary. The
stomach must be kept healthy, and an appetite
created to allow the Pulmonic Syrup to act on the
espiratory organs properly and allay any irrita-
ton. Then all that is required to perform per-
manent cure is, to prevent taking cold. Exercise
about the rooms as much as possible, eat all the
richest food-fat meat, game, and, in fact, any
thing the appetite Graves; but be particular and
mastcatc well.

Martyrs to Intermittent Fever, word with
you. The responsibility for your suffering rests
upon yourselves. Just as surely as you shake to-
day, or win shake tomorrow, HOSTETTER'S
CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS will ex-
tmguish the disease under which you labor. Had
you taken this genial tonic as a preventive you
would have need of it as a cure, for it renders
the system impervious to all miasmatic fevers.
But since you neglected the precaution, rid your
selves without delay Of the complaint by resort
ing to the only reliable remedy Break the chiIs
with H0STETTER'S BITTERS, and they will
return no more. This is the experience Of thou
sands, and it will be yours. Quinine is slow
Of eiof; it is nauseous to the last degree;
it is more dangerous than the malady itself: IN
many cases it utterly fails How different is the
effect Of the Bitters. Their curative action is
rapid: they are agreeable to the palate; they are
not only entirely harmless, but tend inevitably to
strengthen the constitution and prolong life; they
Hercr hare Jaiied, and it is confidently assumed
that they perer can .faH in any case of Fever and
Ague, however inveterate in its charaeter To be
without HOSTETTER'S BITTERS in any re
gion infested with Intermittent OF Remittent Fe
yer is simply to reject safety ard court disease.

DARING BURGLARIEs.-Th hotel of Joseph
Cessna, in Harrison township, was entered on
the night Of the 9th inst, by some person or
persons unknown, and sum of money, in
the neighborhood of $500, taken therefrom.
There were several persons stopping at the
house at the time, among them Mr.. Simon
Carney who had his pocket book containing
Sl35 or more taken from under his pillow.
All of the rest lost to greater or less extent.
The till in the bar room was broken open and
the change, amounting to some $50, taken
out After having completely ransacked
the house, the spring house was visited, and
a feast made on the pies, cakes, milk, &c.
Several empty pocket books were found in the
spring house and a Confederate ten dollar
note and penknife, taken from the pocket
Of one of the parties in the house, were stuck
against the door, showing that the booty had
been oyerhauled here. No clue is had to the
perpetrators. From the fact that no one in
the house was aroused during the time of the
robbery, it is supposed that chloroform was
administered to the sleepeys.
On the night Of the 4th the store Of w.
". Laney, in Cumberland Valley town
ship was broken open, and considerable
quantity of goods carried off. As in the
above case, feast was held in a spring
house near by, and such as could not be used
destroyed and no clue left as to who the rascals
were. Thieving seems obe in the rage in the
country just now, and we would warn the peo-
pie to keep a sharp eye on all strange charac-
ters that may be found hanging around their
premises:
On Saturday night the spring house OF
Mr.. John Davidson was ''gone through with
to the amount of sundry articles in the shape
of pies, bread, butter, &c. ''Pies- an things
seem to be common property Just now, and
we would advise folks to keep a lock on their
spring houses and cellars in consequence.

THE USE OF BRANDY AND WATER
The Saturday RevieW has few pointed
words on the subject of drinking:
Brandy and water at bed time is the
great disinfectant against the grievous
evils OF our civilization. 1t is the sup
posed secret ofa genial life and a vigor-
Gus progeny. The consequences of this
alcoholic panic among women are OBJ
yiously more Objectionable than its
consequences among men. For women,
as a rule, are little idle and little
vacant. The women who take wine
most literally are commonly the most
idle and the most vacant of all. The
effect of stimulants upon people with
active interests is bad enough in one
way; its effect upon people without ac-
tive interests is more than bad enough
in another way. If ladies had their
rights" and SO were allowed to work
more, then they might also be permit
ted to drink more. But to stimulate
people, and then to provide them with
no proper field for their stimulated con-
dition, is about as certain and infallible
process for bringing them forward in
the way in which they should not go
as we can think of. The topic is not a
particularly pleasant one for husbands
aud brothers, and unless doctors pull
up in their zeal for strong and blood
heating drinks, it is likely to grow more
and more unpleasant. Even children,
like their elders. are presumed TO suffer
from low tone. They. too, require wine
and malt liquor, and what they are
thus supposed to require they have
given to them in appalling abundance.
