powerful remedy His health was restored in

has been apprehended, for all the symptoms
quickly disappeared, and his present weight Is
more than TIVE hundred pounds.
Since his recovery, he has devoted his at
tention exclusively to the cure of Consumption
and the diseases which are usually comphcat-
ed with it, and the cures effected by his medi-
| cines 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 zee poor con-
sumptives that have to be lifted out of their
carria yes, and in a few months healthy robust
persons. DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea-
wead Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are generally
all required in curing Consumption. Full dl-
rections accompany each, that any one can
take them without seeing DR.. Schenck. but
when it is convenient it is best to See him
He gives advices free, but fer thorough ex-
animation with Respirmeter his fee is three
dollars.
Please observe. when purchasing. that the
two likenesses of the Doctor--one when in the
last stage of Consumption, and the other as he
now is, in perfect health-are on the Govern
ment stamp.

Of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make

Before they had brought their Pianos TO
their present excellence, they had submitted
them TO competition with instruments of the

received the reward of merit, over All others,
at the celebrated Worlds Fair Tt is but JUS
tice to say that the Judgment thus pronounced
has not been overrued by the musical world.
Still, by the imp ovements lately applied by
them to their Pianos, it is admitted that a
