DIE. SCHENCK'S
Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills.


These medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious TO the human constitution.
OF her remedies advertised as cures for Consump-
ton, probably contain opium, which is a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases. and if taken freely by
consumpive patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
system, which of course, must make cure impossi-
bic.
Schencks Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle OF opium: 1t is composed of pow
erfu but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs,
liver, stomach and blood and thus correct all NOR
bid secretous and expel all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate i'll this way. obv1
GUS they the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.

The Woes Of Travellers.

The Boston Advertiser devotes itself to
vigorous discussion of the nuisances OF rail-
way ears, especially Of the peripatetic ven
doris of an infnity of articles which nobody
wants, but which are thrust into the laps of
unoffendng travellers, and which must be sed-
ulously cared for until the proprietor comes,
on penalty of the suspicion of felonious appro-
priation This crusade will touch sympa-
thetc chord in the breast of many sufferer.
This system of leaving articles has come to be
one of the standard irritations of travel. The
most absorbing conversations are broken in
upou by the irrepressible distributor of prize
packages, books Of high-colored Illustrations,
vegetable ivory and fruit in all stages of
witheredness or decay. If one essays 10 be-
guile the hours with refreshing slumber his
pence is rudely disturbed by a stand-andde-
liver demand to buy something. The few
hard-eyed persons who can read on the cars,
and who carry with them the material for
their optic-destroylng diversion, find the cur
rensof their literary pursuits ruffied by i'm
portunities to vary their course of reading by
an inspection OF "Fun upon the Rail-"
ssThe Woman's Crusade" or some other of
the many fearfully and wonderfully iustrat-
ed books which somebody seems to think
somebody else wants to read.
OF course there is some result from all this
urgent invitation to buy or the traffic would
cease from sheer inertia; but we challenge the
most wayworn of tourists to recall any single
actual transaction which has come under his
observation. The only theory which accounts
for the continuance of the inficton in the
face of so unimpressible public is that some
persons-unused to travel-fnd a sinful de-.
lectation in these things, or else think they
must buy, shamefacedly keeping the wares
bestowed upon them, and furtiyely passing
out the corresponding currency.
The Advertiser recommends heroi; treat
men, for the ailmeat, suggesting that "a few
prize candy packages thrown out of the win
dow, little studied careles sness in letting
fashy books and periodicals tumble upon the
floor, and ostentatious tearing-up of circulars
unread would work wonders in relieving
sufferers. The evil is increasing al such a
rate that, unless something is done by those
who are vexed by it, the heat an dust of a
summer journey will be the least of the dis
comforts to be endured by Travellers"

THE ordinary citizen would naturally con-

ing endured purgatorial fires of a dozen years
duration, would have come forth purified
when called to take charge of the affairs of a

would make an effort to keep their pledges.
