IRRITABLE INvALIDS.


Indigestion not only effects the physical health,
but the dispositions and teupers OF It's victims
The dyspeptic becomes, too, in measure demon
allied by his sufferings. He is subject to his OF
irritation sullenness, despair, as the case may
be- A preternatural sensitiveness which he can
not control leads him TO miseonstrue the words
and acts of those around him, and his intercourse
even with those nearest and dearest to him is not
unfrequently marked by exhibitions of testiness
foreign to his nature. These are the mental
phenomena of the disease for which the invalid
cannot be justly held responsible, but they occa-
sion much household discomfort. 1t is to the IN
terest of the home circle it is essential to family
harmony as well as to the rescue OF the principal
sufferer from a state not far removed from INCL
pient insanity, that these symptoms OF mental
disturbance be promptly removed. This can only
be done by removing their physical cause, de-
ranrement of the functions of the stomach and
its allied viscera, the liver and the bowels Upon

CONSUMPTION.

The Three Remedies, " Sehenck's Pulmonic
Syrup" for the cure of Coughs, Colss, 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, purites the blood, and
thus cures Consumption, when every other RENE
dy fails. NIL, g.. .,..,..,,u -,
Dyspepsia Indigestion, and all diseases arising
from debility. This tonic invlgorates the digest
i've organs supplies the place of the gastric juice
when that is deficient, and then enables the pa
tient to digest the most nutritious food. It Is a
sovereign remedy for all cases of Indigestion.
"Schencks Mandrake Pills." one of the most
valuable medicines ever discovered, being veg
etable substitute for calomel, and having all the
useful properties ascribed to that mineral, with
out producing any of its injurious effects.
To those three medicines DIR J. I'll. Schsnck, OF
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of Pulmonic Consumption. The Pull
monte Syrup rpens the morbid matter, dis
charges it, and purities the blood. The Man
drake Pills act upon the liver, remove all OBJ
structons therefrom, give the organ a healthy
tone, and cure Liver Complaint, which Is one OF
the most prominent causes of Consumption. The
Seaweed Tonic invigorates the powers of the
stomach, and by Strengthening the digestion and
bringing it to a normal and healthy condition i'm
proves the quality of the blood, by which means
the formation of ulcers or tubercles in the lungs
becomes impossible. The combined action OF
these medicines, as thus explained, will cure
every case of consumption, if the remedies are
used in time, and the use of them is persevered
in sufficiently to bring the case to favorable
termination.
