CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED.
SCHENCKS PULMONIC SYRUP,
.SCHENCK'S SEA WEED 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,
hemorrhage follows, and, in fact, blocking the
action of the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the causes
of two thirds the cases of consumption. Many
are now complaining with dull pain in the side,
the bowels sometimes costive and sometimes too
loose, tongue coated pain in tho shoulder blade,
feeling sometimes very restless and at other times
drowsy; the food that is taken lies heavily the
stomach, accompanied with acidity and belching
of wind. These symptoms usually originate from
disordered condition of the stomach a torpid
liver. Persons affected, ifthey take one or two
heavy colds, and the cough in these cases be
suddenly stopped the lungs, liver and stomach
clog, and remain torpid and inactive, and before
the patient is of his situation, the lungs are
a mass of Sores and liberated, and death is the
Inevitable result.
Schencks Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant
which does not contain any opium, nor anything
calculated to check cough suddenly.
Schenck's Seaweed tonic dissolves the food, mix
es with the gastric juice Of the stomach, digests
easily, nourishes the system, and creates heal

SIR BATTLE FRERE's EXPEDITION Sir
Bartle Frere's expedition arrived at Fan
zibar on the 18th Of January last 1t
was desired on arriving TO cross the
swampy land in the vicinity Of the coast
at once, so as to reach elevated ground
and encamp before the setting in of the
rainy season. The party experienced
numerous delays, however, owing to wear.
isome and fruitless hagglings for portcrs
with contractors. In about five weeks
they settled themselves at Bagamoyo.
Here Sir Bartle Fiere left the expedition
instructing Lieutenant Cameron to make
the best OF his way to Livingston, to eff
feet a junction with him when possible,
and to place the expedition and its re-
sources entirely under the doctors con-
troll. The route followed by the cxpedi-
ton after leaving Bagamoyo was rather
more in southerly direction than that
taken by Stanley, and was to continue SO
far as Nyambo, But few adventures were
met with, and not single herd of big
game was seen. The party was received
everywhere with extreme civility, and
they describe the Arab legitimate traders
as very capable, honest and gentlemanly.
The Eastern African negroes, whose vii.
lagos they had passed through, are de-
scribed as materially far better off than
the majority of English laborers. The
huts are well built, they have abundance
to eat, their dress though very scanty, IL
sufficient for the climate, and nearly all
can afford brass and bead ornaments, to.
bacco to smoke, porube to drink, and the
majority keep fowls, goats, and in some
places cattle
The expedition is furnished with the
Snider rife, weapon which is rgarded
with wholesome dread in the regions
through which they are passing, terrible
reports Of its destructiveness being dis
seminated among the patives by the por.
tiers connected with the caravan. On more
than one occasion the very sight Of these
rifles has been sufficient to prevent the
down caravans robbing and maltreating
the caravans which are travelling with
Cameron, and as it were, under his pro.
lection.
The latest advices received were dated
Perapiva, June Is. At that time the
dismal swamp through which Stanley and
his men had houndered with great risk
had been passed without difficulty. Lieut.
Cameron gives almost Uptopan accounts
of the bucolc and village life of the ne.
groes in this quarter of Africa.

Since the year ls4S, when gold was
first discovered in California, that State
has produced an aggregate of 81 1885,
100000 worth of the precious metal. In
the year named the yield was $4,000, 900
and in 1858, the year in which the great
est yield occurred, the product was $685.
100000. Between 1865 and 1872 the
average annual yield was about 100000
900, with no appreciable evidence of re-
duction. In Nevada, the two great
mines known as the Belcher and the
Crown Point, situated in the Comstock
lode, yielded up to September |, of this
year, over S26,000,000 in gold, with a
clear profit to the stockholders in diyi-
dends of more than Sl4,000,000. The
Belcher mine commenced to yield in 1868
and the Crown Point in 1869. During
the last of April and May these mines
produced an average of ssl 900 per day.

Burns in any lamp without danger of exploding
