ened men, particularly from the West, in The

schemes.
There need be no apprehension about pre-
tended imitation Of the currency, which the
national bank monopolists and bondholders
urge, from the issue of hundred millions OF
legal tenders in place Of the compound interest
notes. The banks will have to hold these
legal tenders as . reserve, the same as they
now do the compound interest notes, which
will keep them out Of circulation. 1t will not
make the least difference in the volume OF
currency circulated. II viii be taking away
simply several millions year from the over
grown national bank monopoly and putting
that amount into the Treasury. The House
has done good thing, and it is gratifying TO
see the enlightened progress that body is
making on the subject Of the currency and
national finances; but it should not stop there.
Our whole system Of finance, currency and
banks needs remodelling and placing on
sound and lasting basis.

that striking the anvil, piece of steel was bro

such force that it entered his body and passed be-.
yond the reach Of the surgeons probe. The young
man is suffering much pain. The consequent in

of the missile renders his case dangerous.

Consumption Curabie by DIR.
Schenck's Medicines.

TO CURE CONSUMPTION, the system must be
prepared so that the lungs will heal. To accom-
pish this the liver and stomach must first be ceansed
and IN appetite created for good wholesome food,
which, by these medicines will be digested properly,
and good healthy blood made; thus building up the
constitution. SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS
cleanse the stomach of all bilious mucous accumu-
lations and, by using the Sea Weed Tonic in con-
necton, the appetite is restored.
SCHENCK'S PULM0NIC SYRUP is nutritious
well us medicinal, and, by using the three RENE
dies, all impurities expelled from the system ar
good, wholesome blood made, which will repel all
disease. If patients will take these medicines ac-
cording to directions, Consumption very frequently
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 di-
arrhna they are necessary The stomach must be
kept healthy, and appetite created to allow the
Pulmon:c Syrup to act on the respiratory organs
properly and alay any irritation. Then all that is
required to perform permanent cure is to prevent
taking cold Exercise about tho rooms as much as
possible, eat all the richest food-fat meat, game
and, in fact, anything the appetite Graves but be
particular and masticate we'll.
