CONSUMPTION.

The Three -:emedies. "Sehenck's Pulmonic
Syrup" for the cure of Coughs, Colds. Bronchitis.
and every form Of Consumption. The peculiar
action of this medicine ripens the ulcers in the
lungs, promotes the discharge of the corrupt
matter by expectoration, purifies the blood, and
thus cures Consumption, when every other rem
edy fails.
.schenok's seaweed Tonic" for the cure of
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, and all diseases aris-
ing from debility. This tonic invigorates the
digestive organs, supplies the place of the gas
trio juice hen that is deficient, and then enables
the patient to digest the most nutritious food. 1t
is a sovereign remedy for all cases of indiges-
ti0n.
"Schenck's Mandrake Pills" one of the most
valuable medicines ever discovered, being veg
etable substitute for caIomel, and having all the
useful properties ascribed to that mineral with
out producing any of it's injurious effects.
To these three medicines DR.. J. III. Schenck,
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled in the
. treatment of Pulmonic Consumption. The Pull
monte Syrup ripens the morbid matter, dis
charges ii, and purifes the blood. The Mandrake
Pills act upon the liver, remove ali obstruction.
therefrom, give the organ healthy tone, and
cure Liver Complaint, which is 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 normal and healthy condi-
ton improves the quality of the blood, by which
means the formation of ulcers tubercles in the
l1ngs becomes impossible. The combined action
of these medicines, as thus explained, will cure
every of Consumption, if the remedies are
used in time and the of them is perseyered
in sufficiently to bring the case to a favorable
termination.

A DEMooRATTC STATE.


With the new year the Democrats come
into full control of New York State from the
executive and chief officers to every appoint
i've ofics and to the administration of
affairs ia tina. State will the country look
with no common solicitude, for upon the
spirit manifested BY them depends wide
spread consequence. The State exerts An
influence over the national sentiment, sucn
~ no other State in the Union Inc
people were tired and diseusted with the
shameless rule OF the Republican party, and
swept them from ali places Of power, and
supplanted the entire party with Democratic
rule. And now comes the test, whether
mere local causes did it, or otherwise. 1t
will also be . test of the wisdom of the
people in making the change. If these
rulers use their power for local and personal
advantage, public disappointment sad dis
appreciation will surely follow. Ali yer the
country the fanatical rule of the Republican
party is plainly seen by the people, and they
are beginning to tire of promises long
unful6lled, Of economy delayed and taxes
increasing, and are ready almost to do as
has been done in the old Empire State.
Their eyes will watch the doings there, and
ifthe opportunity for drawing out afresh the
faith of the nation in pure, Democratic
ideas shall be unselfshly and and patriotic
ally improved, the new sunshine of Demo
cratic rule may be expected soon to make
other States effulgens with peace and per-
manent prosperity. Men are beginning TO
think, and the result Of their thinking has
shown itselfin New York. Let the work 60
on, and Radical demagogues will soon learn
that no party can long ride into power on
the strength of empty promises. If economy
be preached it must be praeticed. And
such, we are confident, will be the result in

The New York Tribune, in referring to
the fact that during the year 1862 fifty
thousand miles of railroad were built in the
United States, laments the expenditure in

will be started until after the year 1870, so
as TO afford time to"fund the national debt.
