CONSUMPTION.

The Three Remedies. "Sehenck's Pulmonio
Syrup" for the cure of Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis,
and every form eff Consumption. The peculiar
action of this medicine ripens the ulcers in the
lungs, promotes the discharge Of the corrupt
matter by expectoration, purihes the blood, and
thus cures Consumption. when every other rem
edy fails.
:.scbenok's seaweed Tonic" for the cure of
Dyspepsia or digestion, and all diseases aris
ing from debility. This tonic invigorates the
digestive organs, supplies the place of the gas
tric juice when that is deficient, and then enables
the patient to digest the most nutritious food 1t
is q sovereign remedy for all cases of indiges-
ton.
"Schenck's Mandrake Pills." one of the most
valuable medicines ever discovered. being veg
etabe substitute for ealomel, and having all the
useful properties ascribed TO that mineral, with
out producing any Of it's injurious effects.
To these three medicines DIR. J. II. Schenck, o
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of Pulmonio Consumption. The Pull
monte Syrup ripens the morbid matter, dis
charges it, and purfes the blood. The Mandrake
Pills act upon the liver, remove all obstruction
therefrom, give the organ healthy tone, and
cure Liver Complaint, which is one of the most
prominent causes of Consumption.
The Sea Weed Tonic invigorates the powers Of
the stomach, and by strengthening the digestion
and bringing it to a normal and healthy condi
ton improves the quality of the blood, by whict
means the formation Of ulcers or tubercles in the
l.ngs becomes impossible. The combined actor
OF these medicines, as thus explained, will curt
every case of Consumption, if the remedies arr
used in time and the use of them is persevereS
in sufficiently to bring the case to a favorable
( termination.

PRRcEPT AID PRACTICE

The voice of Congress is against repudis.
ton, as it should be. The unmistskable
vote upon the Garfield resolution has me,
with the fullest approval the whole country
over. But there is still deeper view to be
taken of the question, and one that should
no. be neglected The Boston Post, the
staunch old Democratic organ Of New Eng
land, while expressed its qualification over
that action against reputation, says that it
"does not think that mere wordy declare
ton will make reputation impossible. 1t
considers the Mungen proposition frank and
plain. Ii can be met and it has been
met. Both parties in the House of Repre-
ssntstives spurn it from their legislative
presence" But does this action cover the
whole danger? Can it assume no other
form than this? Assuredly it can, and j,
would be an easy mode of compromising
the villsiny to denounce it openly while pur'
suing public policy whose tendency runs
straight to that result. The members of the
ruling party in Congress may put themselves
on the record in opposition to reputation
as often as twice each day of the session,
but that proves nothing in the face of their
practice, knowing that they are responsible
for results. So long as the current rate OF
expenditures is kept up, SO long IS taxation
eats out the peoples substance, and the cur
rency auctustes in value to suit the needs OF
spectators and gamblers, and industry Is
depressed because enterprise goes about with
tied hands, and prices are so great as to
make bare subsistence daily problem on
the part Of lAbor-so long the patty that il
responsible for these things will be substan
italy committed to policy of reputation
for that ia their inevitable tendency 1t j,
time the mincing of this matter ceased
Heavy taxes, excessive revenues, currency
for gamblers and spectators, and high
prices, are precisely the agents in combina
ton to drive us to the catastrophe which
Congress processes on the open record te
denounce and deplore. The true way now
to make good this lately taken vote is to
move for such immediate financial measures
as will make reputation impossible in every
imaginable form.
