sCHENCK's PULMONIC SYRUP,
SCHESCK's SEAWEED TONIC,

Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption.
Sometimes medicines that will stop cough will
often occasion the death OF the patient. 1t locks up
The liver stops the circulation OF the blood henor-
the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the causes of
two-thrds OF the cases of consumption. Many are
now complaining with duh pain in the side the
bowels sometimes cOstive and sometini too loose
tongue coated, pain in the shoulder blade feeling
sometimes very restless, and at other times drow-
sy: the food that Is taken lies heavily the stOm-
ach accompanied with acidity and belchng of
wind. These symptoms usually originate from a
disordered condition of the stomach or torpid
liver. Persons so affected il they take one or two
heavy colds, and II the cOigh in these cases be
suddenly stopped, the lungs, liver and stomach
clog, and remain torpid and inactive and before
the patient Is aware of his situation, the lungs are
mass of sores, and liberated, and death is the in.
evitable result.
Schenck's Pulmonc syrup Is an cxpcctorant.
which does not contain any opium, nor ANYTHING
calculated to check cough suddenly.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic dissolyes the food

above referred to, at the risk of war with

above referred to, at the risk of war with
England and other European Powers. 1t was
decided to abrogate the treaty, and out Of this
abrogation grew certain national claims OF
France upon the United States. The sup
porters of the bill now before the Senate hold
that these were valid claims, that we had no
right to break the treaty, and should there.
fore be held responsible for damages arising
ont of this action. The opponents of the bill
deny that France had any valid claims upon
US, and say that we had right to terminate
the treaty at any time, and that France could
not on that account expect from US any dam
ages.
After Washington's Cabinet had abrogated
the treaty, French vessels seized great num-
bers of American merchant vessels, and it Is
out of the seizures that the present claims,
amounting to $40, 900, 900, have arisen. The
United States presented these claims to the
French Government and pressed them with
little success, and finally, in 1900, new
treaty was made in which the French national
claims were set against the American private
claims, and each nation receded from all
charges for damages against the other. The
advocates Of this bill say that in that treaty
the Government received a valuable consider
alton in the abolition of the old treaty and in
the REIMBURSEMENT Of the just claims that
france nau against us. Inc Government.
therefore, in their estimation, is liable to the
private claimants since it took what rightfully
belonged to them with which to Offset what it
justly owed to France. The opponents of the
bill say that the claims against France at the
