CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED
sCHENCK's PULMONIC SYRUP,
SCMENCK,s MANDRAKE PILLS,

Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
consumptiOn.
Sometimes medicines that will stop a cough will Of
ten occasion the death of the patient 1t locks the
liver stops the circulation of the blood hemorrhage
follows, and in fact cloggng the action of the very
organs that caused the cough.
Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the causes of
two-thilds of the cases of consumption. Many are
now complaining with dull pain in the side the bow
els sometimes costive and sometimes to loose tongue
coated, pain in the shoulder blade, feeling sometimes
very restless, and at other times drowsy the food
that is aiken lies heavily the stomach accompani-
ed with acidity and belching of wind. These symp-
toms usually originate from dsordercd condition of
the stomach torpid liver Persons SO affected if
they take one or two heavy colds and if the cough in
these cases be suddenly stopped, the lungs yer and
stomach clog, and remain torpid and inactive. and
before the patient is of his situation the lungs
are 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 a cough suddenly.
Schencks Seaweed tonic dissolves the food, mixes
with the gastric juice of the stomach dgests easily
nonrishes the system and creates healthy circula-
tion OF the blood. When the bowels are cosve skin
shallow and the patient is of bilious habit,
Schencks Mandrake Pills required.

THE New York World in q very sensible
article on the folly of parents thrUsting their
sons into ''genteer' professions simply be-
cause they are ''genteep' instead of making
mechanics of them, asks and answers che
following questions:
Why do we have our roofs badly mended,
our houses badly built, our work badly done
in fifty different ways? Because Americans
are too 'genteer' to be plumbers and jour-
neymen mechanics at S5 day, though they
will clerk for So. Consequently we have to
put up with, and pay enormously for bad
work, by the inferior, halftaught foreign ar
tisan, for the best class, having plenty of
work at home, are loath to leave their coun-
try.
Ii the World had suggested some remedy
for the present state Of affairs which it de /.
plores, there would be some hope for the flu
ture. 1t! is largely the fault of society and
the estimate it places upon men as connected
with their occupation, that drives Young
men from the useful trades into crowded and
underpaid departments of employment. The
arbitrary distinctions of society have had
more to do in creating this silly notion of re-
spectabiity than all other causes.

Special Correspondence Of he Commercial.
Dover, Feb. 26.
Most of the sessions, to-day, have been con.
sumed in the passage Of stock bills, and the frst
reading OF bills of Incorporation, &c.
The prospects for the Third-St bridge bill are
very dark, and those urging it have given it up as
lost. The New Castle county delegations will
vote soldly against it, 1t is understood.
The canal bill lies dormant. Have heard 9th.
ers say its prospects are growing less.
The Usury bill was postponed till Tuesday
next, and the Court House Removal question
until Thursday, but the prospect is that there
will be still further postponement.
MIR. Copeland addressed the Legislature and
citizens OF Dover on the subject OF railroad from
Dover to Rehoboth, portraying for this watering
place magnificent future. He proposes to
build road from Dover to Milford, and thence
to Lewes, thus cutting OF the two angles, at
Harrington and Georgetown. The Senate. to-
day, passed bill Incorporating II. r. from
Harrington westward to the Chesapeake bay.
The charter for another II. R.. from George
town to Berlin, is before the House. Both these
roads will be feeders to the enterprise on the
beach. Tho audience was very favorably i'm
pressed with Mr.. Copeland's address.
1t is reported that the Treasurer OF Kent
county (Wilson, think his name is) has failed,
or rather that he has overdrawn his account in
bank and has been using the countys- funds for
speculation. His Secretaries think they may
be able to save themselves. b.
