DIR. Schenck'S PulmOnic Syr.
lid.

This great medicine cured DR.. j. Ii. SCIIENCK,
the Proprietor, of Pulmonary Consumption
when it mad assumed its most formidable aspect,
and when speedy death appeared to be inevita-
bic. His physicians pronounced his case incura,
Gle, when he commenced the use of this simple
but powerful remedy. His health was restored
in n very short time, and no return of the dis
ease has been apprehended, for all hesymptoms
quickly disappeared, and his present weight is
more than two hundred pounds.
Since his recovery, he has devoted his atten
ton exclusively to the cure of Consumption and
the diseases which are usually complicated with
il. and the cures effected by his medicines have
been very numerous and truly wonderful. Ut
SCHENCK makes professional visits to several OF
the larger cities weekly, where he has 4 large
concourse of patients and il is truly astonishing
to see poor consumptives that have to be lifted
out Of their carriages, and in a few months
healthy, robust persons. DIR. SCHENCKSP Pull
MONIC SYRUP, SEAWEED TONIC, and
MANDRAKE PILLS are generally all required
in curing Consumption. Full directions accom-
pany each, so that any one can take them with
ont seeing DIR. SCHENCK, but when II Is conven
lent it is best to see him. He gives advice free
but for thorough examination with his Respir
ometer his fee Is three dollars.
Please observe, when purchasing, that the tive

stage of Consumption, and the other he now
is, in perfect health-are on tho Government

Masonry OF the Human Form.

The proportion of the human figure is
six times the length of the foot; wheth-
er the form be slender or plump, the rule
holds good any deviation from it is a
departure from the highest beauty in
proportion. The Greeks made all their
statutes according to this rule. The
face, from the highest point of the fore
head, where the hair begins, to the
chin, is one-tenth of the whole statute.
The hand, from the wrist TO the middle
finger, is the same From the top Of
the chest to the highest point in the
forehead is seventh. If the length OF
the face, from the root of the hair to
the chin, be divided into three equal
parts, the first division determines the
place where. the eyebrows meet, and
the second the place of the nostrils.
The height, from the feet to the top OF
the head, is the same as the distance
from the extremity of the fingers when
the arms are extended.

NJ. Tremaux, author of the 'Origip of

dfsssedIa paper to the French Academy
of Sciences, in which he says that New
toms system, which doesnot explain the
cause of the motionof heavenly bodies,
and which, moreover, only establishes
an inconstant equilibrium, is not suffi-
cicut to account for the many perturba-
tions which influence these bodies, and
that consequently some principle must
be sought after that will give constant
This principle the author
finds in the antagonism Of heat and cold
The former expands, smelts, transforms
into vapor, and therefore repels; the lat
ter copdenses, solidifes, contracts, and
therefore should be considered the force
of attraction. Suppose, now, two
heavenly bodies to be accidentally
brought together. Considering them in
an incandescent state, they must repel
each other in proportion to the intensity
of their heat: but at tho same time the
attraction Of their masses will counter

How He Got Drunk

A Chicago paper contains the follow

drunkenness:
az am A. z. Griffin. want to call
myself Smith, but cannot tell lie.
Pd be sure to betray myself. Last
night visited a friend, and took sup
per with him. Branded peaches were
on the table. and l ate many of them.
They were nice and l had an appetite.
Strange to say, they improved my con-
verSational powers. l was witty.
Whenever spoke every one laughed.
| got off conundrum. 1t was wicked,
but oh, how funny. 1t was, which of
the Apostles is good to drink p Paul,
because pail is bier. It's. rule of
three conundrums. Then | left for
home. haven't reached there yet. On
my way there, u missionary spirit awoke
in me. would see what haunt of
iniquity, a rum shop looked like. l
called for branded peaches without the
peaches. 1t was given me and drank
it. The barkecper demanded twenty
cents. Said 1: Friend, l am mis-
sionary. Consequently l shall pay the
in tracts. Here are two dozen Of them.
Read and profit thereby He wouldn't
take them. He cursed me. Then got
angry and forgot that / Twas a Christian.
| said 'Confound YOU But l had to
pay him. 1t would seem that some
times the wages of sin are twenty cents.
What did after that don't know. /
know my head achcd. l know my hair
is filled with ashes. | know / am q
wicked sinner. Now, Mr.. Justice, don't
fine me. If l didn't act right when
was drunk, it wasn't my fault. There
is no handbook of drunkenness to
teach me. 1t was the peaches that
made me drunk. l am going to write
out my last nights experience. 1t will
be in the form of tract. will send
you some that will make some nice
