DR.. Schenck's Standard Remedies I

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are SCHENcK's PULMoNIc SYRUP. SCHENcK's SEA-
WEED Tonic, and SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS,
and if taken before the lungs destroyed, speedy
cure is effected.
10 these three medicines DIR. j. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaed success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws it of by easy expectora
ton, for when the phlegm matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it of, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schepcks Sea-weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on the 1ver removing
all Instructions, relax the gall bladder the bile starts
freely and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the akali of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souring 1t assists
the digestion, by tonng up the stomach to healthy
condition, SO that the food and Pulmonic Syrup will
make good blood; then the lungs heal and the patti
emit will surely get well if care is taken to prevent
fresh cold.
DR.. Schenck can be consulted at the Quincy House,
Boston, 90 Wednesday, March 25th April 9Th and
22nd, May 18th and 9th.
Advice will be given free but for thorough exam

THERE is no little anxiety in Boston re-
specting the proposed withdrawal OF tne
Cunard line of ocean steamships from tna'
city for the simple reason that the raiiroauS
connecting that city with the West cannot VI
will not ship goods as cheap as the lines irom
New York and other points. Inc business
men of Boston very naturally feel little
modification al the present state OF affairs
and have taken measures, so for as it is Win
in their power to do so, to remove the oo-
stacles which now threaten, in addltloh W
the natural difficulties arising from croohe''
narrow and dangerous approaches, " po.
that growing city out of the list OF 'llose 'n's
can successfully maintain an ocean ii1e ~
steamers. by calling upon the Boston q Al AZ.
banv Railroad Company to reduce us tarin
and elevator charges. We trust that Boston
will he able, with all its natural disadvan-
tages, to hold its ocean line, for the loss of it
will be serious blow to its business as well
as its honorable pride. 1t is, however, lit
tie strange that while the Grand Trunk Rail-
way and Allan steamships were shipping
western produce from Chicago to Liverpool,
uia Portland, ten per cent. lower than any
other line, leading Boston paper stated thai
that city was natural Canadian seaport.

WHEN man is seen travelling about in the
streets of New York with horse and wagon,
a can of milk, and barrel labelled 'cat-meat"
the attentive observer leaps at once to the
conclusion that the peripatetic vender is en-
gagged in the work of supplying cheap res
taurants with their daily allowance of food,
and horrid vision of dirty table cloths,
copper-toed silver forks, and suspicious dishes
with foreign names comes up before him.
But ON inquiry he will be relieved to learn that
the man with the suggestive barrel is the
proprietor of ''cat route" and that he Ca
tiers daily for three hundred and forty-six cats,
leaving their rations at their residences each
morning. His scale of prices is low but re-
munerative, the rate being fifty cents week
for adults, and twenty-five cents for kittens,
and he nets ten cents per cat, or $34,60 a
week. Sarely the great American mind is
not yet exhausted.

CHICAGO workingmen are becoming Wi

CHICAGO workingmen are becoming wise
in their generation. AT recent meeting
motion authorizing the raising Of money for
speakers expenditures was voted down.
The opinion was quite general that it isn't
profitable to pay men who have been living
for years off the laboring men of the country
great prices for advocating the labor move
ment. The fact was recognized that the one
thing that deprives the laboring men OF the
sympathy of other classes is that these DEM
agogues are their spokesman. One Of the
''horny-handed'' pertinently inquired why
the laboring man should pay for transporting
these blatant orators up and down the coun-
try in Pullman palace cars and for boarding
them at the Palmer House. The Chicago
Trades Union is doing wise thing in rid
ding itself of these old men of the sea, and
the sooner other reform movements follow
in its track the better it will be for them.
