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 created for
good, wholesome food, which, by these NELL
cincs, will be digested properly, and good, heal
thy blood made thus building up the c%onstitu.
ton. SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS
cleanse the stomach Of all bilious or mucous &C.
eumulations, and, by using the Sea Weed Tonic
in connection, the appetite is restored.
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP is nutri.
cious as well as medicinal, and, by using the
three remedies, al. impurities are expelled from
the system, and good, wholesome blood made
which will repel all disease. II patients viii
take these medicines according to directions
Consumption, very frequently in its last stage,
yields readily to their action. Take the Pills fire.
~uuently, to cleanse the liver and tomach. 1t
does not follow that because the bowels arc not
costive they are not required, for sometimes in
diarrhoca they arc necessary. The stomach
must be kept healthy, and an appetite created to
allow the Pulmonic Syrup to act on the rcspi.
ratory organs properly, and allay any irritation.
Then all that is required to perform . perma.

Behind the Lighthouse.

Old f.gyism is not quite dead. People are
still TO be found who think that health is pro-
noted by depletion! Was there ever such false
logic. Nature is the grand antagonist of disease,
and the dcplcters propose TO PROSTATE Nature
in order, one might suppose, to give the enemy
a double chance at the life of the patient! The
true practice is SO to invigorate the vital powers
as to render them an overmatch for the elements
Of disease. This can DO done with HOSTEL
TIERS STOMACH BITTERS. Of all vegetable
tonics they are the most powerful and the most
genial. At this season, when even the stronges,
organizations are liable to be affected by the al
formations of stringent cold and malariOus mois'
ture, this inestimable protective medicine
is especially needed. Persons predisposed
to biliousness, dyspepsia, constipation, intermit.
tent fever, or any of the complaints which cold
weather superinduces or aggravates, should take
it regularly throughout the Winter and Spring
months. 1t is absolutely pure Ind harmless.

Hort Dresses.
The New York papers speak Of the
latest style of short dresses as already
in general use on Broadway. Accord
ing to the Herald they are very popular
both with ladies and gentlemen. With
the former doubtless, on account of con-
venience, and the latter on the ground
ofeconomy. The old style ..ofi trailing
skirt, which swept In their train all the
filth of the streets, were not only in
convenient and tedious to look At bnt
expensive to keep in decent trim. One
hundred dollar trails are very gorgeeAs
in drawing-rooms, and on the sweep Of
Brussels and Yelye. carpets, but as
brooms to sweep dirty streets they ex-
cited more disgust than admiration, and
besides give very ~asttering blows to
even plethoric pocket books. We shall
look with interest to see our Western
ladies adopt the style. The New York
Herald says: TON
Nothing can be more comfortable,
more becoming. and more convenient
than the latest style of small crinollnes
and short dresses. Ladies can now
walk without dragging their skirts, and
ride in cars and omnibuses without
taking up three times the space for
whic:, they pay. Some m with
large ankles have complained of the
last fashion upon the ground that the
ladies' feet are conspicuously displayed;
but We have yet to learn that it is any
more indicate for n lady to show her
feet than for a gentleman to showsh his,
and gentlemen have been displaying
their pedal extremities these thousands
of years without censure or remark"
