DYSPEPSIA

There is no disease ich experience has so amply
proved TO be remediable by the PERUVIAN SYR-
UP, "a protected solution of the Protoxde Of Iron
as Dyspepsia. The est inveterate forms of this
disease have been comp. stely cured by this med-
cine, as ample testimony Of some of our first citizens
proves.
FROM THE VENERABLE ARcnDEAcos scorT, d. D.
DUSHAM, Canada East.
"I am an inveterate Dyspeptie of more
than % years Standing
u have been SO wonderfully benefited
in the three short weeks during which have used
the Peruvian Syrup, that can scarcely persuade
myself of the reality. People who have known Inc
are astonished at the change. l am widely known,
and can but recommend TO others that which has
done 50 much for me-"

This great medicine cured DR.. j. Ii. Schenck, the
Proprietor, of Pulmonary Consumption, when it had
assumed its most formidable aspect, and when
speedy death appeared to be inevitable. His ply
sicians pronounced his case incurabe, when he COM
menced the of this simple but powerful remedy
Ills health restored in n very short time and no
return of the disease has been apprehended, for all
the symptoms quickly disappeared, and his present
weight is more than two hundred pounds.
Since his recovery, he has devoted his attention
exclusively to the cure of Consumption and the dis
which usually complicated with it, and the
cures effected by his medicines have been very nu-
mcrous 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 poor consumptives
that have be lifted out their carriages and in
few months healthy, robust persons. DIR. ScHENcK S
PULMUNIC SYRUP, SEAWEED TONIC, and
MANDRAKE PILLS, are generally all required
in curing Consumption. Full directions accompany
each, SO that any one can take them without seeing
DR.. Schenck but when il is convenient it is best to
see him. He gives advice free, but for thorough
examination with his Resprometer his fee is three
dollars.

QUICK TME.-The Harrisburg Telegraph says
that on Thursday of last week half dozen men ran
a raft of lumber from Port Trevorton, Northumber-
land county, to Highspire, below that city, between
ten o'clock in the forenoon and five in the after
noon. They successful in making quick
trip, but their undertaking was very hazardous, on
account of the very high stage of the river Seven
hours travel by water from Port Trevorton to High
spire is probably the fastest time ever made by any
raftmen. .-

ANOTHER CASE OF DRowNISG.-On Saturday last

with such speed to plunge it entirely under water
and break il to pieces. The men were all swept into
the river. Three of them were rescued from their
perilous situation, one of them badly injured by
being struck with one of the logs, while the fourth
was drowned. We could not learn the name of the
unfortunate man. They had previously been eau
