DIR. hchencl1.s I,uImonic syrup.


This great medicine cured DR.. J. H. Schenck,
the Proprietor, of Pulmonary Consumption,
when it had assumed its most formidable as
pect, and when speedy death appeared to be
inevitable. His physicians pronounced his case
incurable, when he commenced the use of his
simple but powerful remedy. His health was
restored in very short time, and no return Of
the disease has been apprchended, for all the
symptoms quickly disappeared, and his pre-
sent 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 complica
ted with it, and the cures effected by his med
icines have been very numerous and truly
wonderful. DR.. ScHENcK makes professional
visits to several of the larger cities weekly,
where he has large concourse of patients,
and it is truly astonishing to see poor consump-
tivcs that have to be lifted out of their carri-
ages, and in few monthes healthy, robust
persons. DR.. ScHENcK's PULMoNIc SYRUP,
SEAwEED Tonic, ond MANDRAKE Pills are
generally allrequried in curing Consumption.
Full directions accompany each, SO that any
one can take them without seeing DR.. Schenck,
but when it is convenient it is best to see him.
He gives advice free, but for q thorough OK
animation with his Respirometer his fee is
three dollars.
Please observe, when purchasing, that the
two ikenesses of the Doctor-one when in the
last stage of Consumption, and the other as he
now is, in perfect hcalth-are on the Govern
ment stamp.
Sold by all Druggists and Dealers. Price
81, so per bottle, or $3.50 the half dozen. Let
ters for advice should always be directed to

WHY Folks READ LocALs.-People read ar
ticles of local interest for reasons as opposite
as man and wife. A. reads about a fight be-
cause he was there and saw it. B. because he
wasn't there and didn't; G. because he'd heard
about it, and D. because he hadn't; while
those who had hand in it, want to know how
deemed compatible in its utterance, with a
continuation of his own earthly career. The
consciousness, too, that hundreds of others are
perusing the same article simultaneously, and
that it is, therefore, subject of common
thought and conversation, doubtless adds to
the zezt with which ordinary readers eagerly
devour articles that otherwise would have but
q dull perusal or no perusal at all.

To CLERGYMEN.-Life Insurance is particu-
larry obligatory upon Clergymen. To those
whose salaries admit of it, even if the most
rigid economy be necessary, it should be re-
ligious duty to lay aside enough to secure a
policy Of insurance, by which to provide either
for their own wants in advanced years, OF for
the future wants of their families. For those
whose salaries do not admit of it, it should be
the duty of every congregation to provide such
a policy, or at least to add to their salary a
sum enabling them to do it.
