Are the only medicines that will cure Put
mouary 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, hemorrhagc fol-
lows, and, in fact, c1Ogging the action OF
the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the
causes of two-thirds of the cases of con-
sumption. Many are now complaining
with dull pain in the side, the bowels
sometimes cOStiVe and sometimes too
loose, tongue coated, pain in the shoulder
blade, feeling sometimes very restless and
at other times drowsy; the food that is ia
ken lies heavily on the stomach, accom-
panied with acidity and belching of wind
These symptoms usually originate from
disordered condition of the stomach or a
torpid liver. Persons so affected, if they
take one or two heavy colds, and if the
cough in these cases he suddenly stopped,
the lungs, liver and stomach clog, and re-
main torpid and inactive, and before the
patient is aware of his situation, the lungs
are a mass of sores, and liberated, and
death is the inevitable result.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expec-
torant which does not contain any opium,
nor ANYTHING calculated to check cough
suddenly.
Schenck's Seaweed tonic dissolves the
food, mixes with the gastric juice of the
stomach, digestS easily, nourishes the sys-
tenn, and creates a healthy circulation of
the blood. When the bowels are costive,
skin sallow, and the patient is of a bilious
habit, Schenck's Mandrake Pills are re-
quired.

4 Human Thermometer.

We want to believe that story from a
Peoria paper about Mr.. Henry Bull, but
it is hard, very hard to accept it with
perfect confidence. Mr. Bull, it is al
legged, was fed upon calomel and blue
pills by the doctors for a number of
years, so that finally he became abso-
lutely saturated with quicksilver The
other day, while he was standing by the
side of the house, the sun suddenly
came out bright and warm, and Bull be-
gan gradually to ascend He stopped
at the line of the sill of the second story
and hung there, suspended in space, I'M
til a thunder storm happened to come
up, which cooled the atmosphere, and
then Mr.. Bull slowly descended. Now
he has a graduated scale marked on the
gable end of his dwelling, and whenever
Mrs. Bull wants to know how warm it
is she ties fiat irons to Henry's legs to
hold him down, and walks him around
to the gable end and cuts him loose and
lets him rise to eighty OF ninety de-
grees, and when she gets the informal
ton, she lassoes him with the clothes
line and hauls him down. We say we
want to believe this anecdote, because
it makes us happier to have perfect
faith, but it is harder than believing
most lies

The Oldest City in the World.

Damascus is the Oldest city in the
world Tyre and Sidon have crumbled
on the shore. Baalbec is a ruin Pal
myra is buried in desert Nineveh
and Babylon have disappeared from
the Tigris and the Euphrates. Damas-
Gus remains what it was before the days
of Abraham-a center of trade and
travel-an island of verdure in the des-
ert; &c a presidential capital, " with mar
tial and sacred associations extending
through thirty centuries. It was near
Damascus that Saul of Tarsus saw the
light above the brightness of the sun !;
the street, which is called Strait, in
which it was said :" he prayed" still
runs through the city. The caravan
comes and goes as it did a thousand
years ago there is still the sheik, the
ass, and the water-wheel the merchants
of the Euphrates and the Mediterra-
mean still OCCUPY" these "with the
multitude of their wares" The city
which Mohammed surveyed from a
neighboring height, and was afraid to
enter, because it was given to man to
have but one paradise, and for his part,
he was resolved not to have it in this
world, is to-day what Julian called the
8" eye of the East" as it was, i'll the
time of Isaiah, l." the head of Syria. =
It is still city of flowers the streams
of Lebanon and the "silk of gold" still
n1urmer and sparkle in the wilderness
of the Syrian gardens.

Very i" FrenchY.v

A story is told of French gentleman,
who, having lost the bulk of his proper
ty through the rascality of friends in
whom he trusted, crowned it all by the
loss of his mental balance, and for the
remainder of his days found his only
delight in riding in omnibuses and pass
ing fares from passengers to the driver,
taking care when change was returned
to add to it sou or two out of his
own pocket, and watch the effect on the
receiver. In nine cases out of ten, as
the story goes, the passenger, counting
over his change, and finding, as he sup
posed, that the driver had cheated him
self, would look bewildered for mo-
ment, and then pocket the change with
a quiet chuclzle. The special delight of
the lunatic was to satisfy himself in this
way that nine-tenths of his fellow-men
were dishonest, if they only had the OPP
pOrtuuity

NarrOW-Gauge.

The success of the narrow-gauge rail
ways seems beyond question. A large
majority of the roads of the West, now
projected Or being built, are narrow
gauge. The Denver and Rio Grande
was the first one commenced ON this
plan. Then the Colorado Central was
changed from broad to narrow gauge.
The Northern Utah line, the Leaven-
worth and Denver, and the Southern
Pacific, beginning in Texas, are among
the roads of this character that are being
carried forward to completion. All
over the country trunk or branch roads
of this gauge are being built. One will
soon be completed running from St.
Louis to Cairo ; one from Terre Haute
to Cincinnati the Pennsylvania Central
is building branch roads of the same
pattern, and the Arkansas Central is
being laid as a narrow-gauge. The Chi
cago, Millington and Western is an
other important line that will doubtless
soon be in active course of construc-
ton. All this is pretty good evidence
that the narrow-gauge is becoming
popular, and that its advantages are
more apparent as they become more
fully known.
