Medicine.
TO CURE CONSUMPTION, the system mus
'eprepared so that the lungs will heal. To act
nplish this, the liver and stomach must first be

yne food, which, by these medicines will be d.

thus building up the constitution. SCHENCK'S
MANDRAKE PILLS cleanse the stomach of all
bilious mucous accumuations, and by using
the Sea Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite is
restored.
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP is nutri-
cious well as medicinal, and by using the three
remedies, all impurities expelled from the sys-
TEN, and good wholesome blood made, which will
repel all disease. Ifpatients will take these med
cines according 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

The stomach must be kept healthy, and an ap-
petite created to allow the Pulmonc Syrup to act
on the respiratory organs properly and allay any

and he would carry her safely home. OFF they
started, as merry as t.o sourds one vine.
They soon reached point where the road fork.

gents on the other. Now this young gent had
no doubt been frightened in his infancy by his
hearing ghost stories, ank dreading the lonely
ride home, he told the young lady he would
be compelled to dismount her, and she would
have to walk the balance of her way home, as
he felt certain his marin wanted him. Not be-

disobey his ''marm,' che had to plod homer

Our hunters are greatly troubled about the

that the period for killing game extends from
