DIR. 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. e
o. her remedies advertised as cures for Consump-
ton, probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
BILE.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle of opium: 1t is composed of pow
erful but harmless herbs, which act on the Jun gs
liver. stomach and BLOOD and thus correct all NOR
bid secretions and expe 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 in this way, it is obvl
GUS they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.
DR.. Schenck is professedly at his principal Office,
corner Sixth and Arch Streets. Philadelphia, every
Monday, and at the Quincy House, Boston, on the
following Wednesdays June 10th and oath, July 9Th

The State Convention.

On Thursday of next week the Republicans
of Maine are called to meet in conference by
their delegates at Augusta. The business of
the convention will consist of the nomination
of a candidate for Governor and the promul-
cation of statement of the principles upon
which the party will go to the people of the
state.
The first part of the business arranges it.
SELF Governor Dingley will be renominated
by reclamation in accordance with usage.
But there are reasons higher and more potent
than usage for an expression of confidence in
our Governor. His action for his official
term thus far has been distinguished by a
constant and close attention to the affairs OF
the state, satisfactory to all citizens who
have watched the course of the state admin
istration. Gov. Dingley has bestowed upon
the business of the state, in a thoroughly
conscientious way, the same care in general
and detail which has made him so successful
in his private business. No irregularity is
possible under chief magistrate, not only
upright personally, but sedulously watch
full of the conduct of all departments. He is
a good official and abundantly merits that
popular confidence and respect which he en-
joys.
the construction of platform-requires
more care and thought. The sentiment of
the state will be egreciously misrepresented
ifa thorough, full and hearty endorsement of
the Presidents practical, sensible and states
manlike position On the currency be not the
favor of that course which shall soonest
bring the nation to solvency, and are little in
clined TO tolerate any deviation from the true
path; they sympathize fully with the Presi-
dents admirable statement of the situation
and its requirements, and will insist upon
clear, unequiyocal approval of them in our
platform. The convention will also take
advanced ground on the good side of all
other timely questions. The Republican party
is progressive, and Maine has always been in
the front ranks.
The convention will lack the attractive
element of a gubernatorial contest and there
is danger that the attendance, especially from
distant parts of the state, will be compare
lively small. 1t is good thing, however,
for us to come together at this time in as large
numbers as possible, and We urge upon our
brethren in the different parts of the state to
see to it that the towns send full representa-
tions. Large conventions are always condu-
Give to the health and prosperity of the party,
and we have some things to talk about just
now The great question of the United
States senatorship needs discussion and a
full interchange of views. 1t is vital ques-
ton, interesting to us all, and there will be no
other equally good opportunity for general
comparison of notes before the final settle
ment of the contest.

NEW YORK is to suffer this year not pre-
cisely the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah, but
one as dire and more summary. The earth
in that vicinity is to severely quake and
Gotham go to the shades. We quote as
authority for this assertion no less person
age than Elijah, who was translated and
who now hastens very kindly to make use of
his private information to warn mortals
through lady medium. Persons who don't
believe in this kind of divine revelation
think the whole story is the invention of
some agent of European steamship line.
In the light of recent experience of ocean
steamships our advice would be for the Goth
antics to stay at home and take their chances
with the earthquake.

THE MAINE STATE PRESS which is issued

important subject. The editorial articles and

The conference committee on the finance
measure has amused itself by agreeing upon
a bill the text Of which appeared in our
dispatches of yesterday. 1t is pretty diff
cult to convince the average intellect that
bill which authorizes the issue of one dollar
and the retirement of thirty seven and one
half cents concurrently is not an imitation
measure. The friends of hard money can view
the situation with much complacency under
the consciousness that at the White House
is a calm, firm and conservative statesman

nation against the madness of the hour
