THE MANDRAKE PILLS

are composed entirely of roots and herbs,
obtained from the great storehouse Of
Nature, and their salutary effects will appear
as soon as the medicine is brought to the test
of fair experiment.
SCHENOK'S MANDRAKE PILLS do not
produce any nausea or sickness of the sto-
mach but when given for Dyspepsia, it may
be proper to use them in connection with
SCHENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC. By this
judioious treatment, the digestive faculties
are speedily restored to their full vigor, and
the worst cases of indigestion may be cured.
When we reflect that the liver is the largest
internal organ of the body; that to it is as
signed the important duty of fltering the
blood and preparing the bile; that it is sub
ject to many disorders, and that when it is
diseased, or inactive, the whole body suffers
alphabetically, it is not surprising that Va
medicine which can restore the healthy
operations Of the liver should pro-
duce wonderful changes in the
general health, and effect cures
which may appear to be almost miraculous.
Headache of long continuance, severe pains
in the side, breast, and shoulders, aching of
the limbs, feeling of general weakness, and
weariness, and other alarming and distressing
symptoms, indicative of imperfect or disor-
dered action of the Liver, are speedily re-
moved by the use of SCHENOKS MAN
DRAKE PILLS.
Costiveness. piles, bitter or sour eructa-
tions, and that indescribable feeling of OPP
preston, mental anxiety, languor, lethargy,
and danression of spirits which unft a man
for the management of business and the
enjoyment of life, are relieved by the
use of
SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS.
Price of the PULMONIC SYRUP and
SEAWEED TONIC, each $3.50 per bottle,
or $3.50 per half dozen.
MANDRAKE PILLS, 25 cents per box.
For sale by all druggists and dealers.

man going be fore on the sidewalk. When they
arrived at the building, the gentleman told
Andrews to bring the box up stairs to room

The drayman was promptly paid for his trouble.
The stranger at this moment huIriedy said
Just keep your eye on that box, if you please,
and will be back in few minutes. | want to
get receipt" The man with these words dis
appeared down stairs and left the drayman in
charge to keep watch on the box. The stranger
ter desired, and as the latter became uneasy he
went down stairs to look after the man. But the
man was gone, and so were the dray and the case
of goods. Search was made far and near, but
the horse and drav could not be found. In the
evening, however, boy who happened to
know the appearance of the horse and dray, saw
the latter at Nineteenth and Oxford streets.
The animal was taken charge of and delivered
to its owner. When the box in the Exchange
building was opened it WAS found to contain
only sand! The case of cassimeres belonging
to the Market street firm has not yet turned up.

Prison Cases.


Court Of Quarter SessiOns-Judge FinlettT.
Jacob Graul pleaded guilty TO the charge OF steal
ing watch from friends pocket.
w lillian Wilson, gOod-looking boy, was tried
upon the charge OF the larceny OF gold watch
valued at s65, the property OF Patrick Il. Casey.
The evidence was that the watch was taken from
Caseys vest, which was hanging behind door IN
Stetson's hat factory, where these parties
were employ ed; ana Casey having seen Wilson
moving about the building with nothing special TO
do, suspected him and accused him, but he denied
any knowledge OF the affair. Subsequently he said
Mr.. Stetson would settle for the watch. He was
then arrested and sent TO prison. Mr.. Stetson visited
him In his cell and talked earnestly with him, saying
that, II he would tell where the watch was so that
1t could be recovered, he would take him Eome.
Wilson for long time protested his innocence, but
hearing the promise OF release so often repeated he
at length said he did take 1t ands pawned IL for ten
dollars which he spent for candy
Mr.. Stetson could not believe this, as ne had on
the very afternoon OF the theft given nina ten cents

you take me home now % Mr. Stetson replied, "Of

answer" Wilson then began crying and said, 81
have told you lie. did not take the watch and
know nothing about it, lied to you in the hope OF
getting out OF prison."
Mr.. stetson said he had always known Wilson to
be an honest boy.
Mr.. Hagert said that under this evidence he
thought the boy should be acquitted, and the Judge
approving OF this view, the jury rendered verdict
OF not guilty.
Isaac Jacobs was put on trial, upon the charge of
stealing watch belonging TO Mrs. Lizzie Chtlds,
living on south Washington Square. He was at this
