SPECIAL NOTICES.
DR.. Schenck's Standard Remedies /!

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are SCHENCK's PULMONIC SYRUP, SCHENCK's SEA-
WEED Tonic, and SCHENCKs MANDRAKE PILLS.
and if taken before the lungs destroyed. speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. j. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success In the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmon1c Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws it of by easy expecora-
ton, for when the phlegm matter is ripe a slight
cough will throw 1t off, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea-weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing
all distractions relax the gall bladder the bile
freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkali of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents sourng 1t assists
the digestion, by toning up the stomach to healthy
condition, so that the food and Pulmonic Syrup viii
make good blood then the lungs heal and the patti
ent will surely get well if care is taken to prevent
fresh cold.
DR.. Schenck can be consulted at the Quincy House.

AFFAIRS in South Carolina are bad enough
but Treasurer Cardozo fatty denies that its
finances are so recklessly managed as the tax
payers convention set forth in their memoir
al to Congress. The memorial sets forth that
the expenses of the State Government for
salaries during 1S73,were $3.50, 797 80, whereas
Mr.. Cardozo shows that the true figures we're
$167,53S. So likewise the Legislative expen-
ses for the same time are put at 1921, 1880. Al,
while the Comptroller's report gives 1920, 600
as the real expenditures. The Treasurer
shows that the figures giving expenses for
1855, were grossly falsified. The Taxpayers
Convention affirmed that the expenditures
for State purposes have risen from $400, 1000
before the war, to 100000 now. Mr.. Car
dozo hatly refutes this by citing the actual
ngures from the proper authority, which gives
ssel,SSSll for 1859, and $1,4S2, 44S &C for
1ooo-more than three times the figures the
,nemorlalists name, as the expenditure yearly
peiore the war. Then, instead of the State
expenses now being $4,000. 900 annually as
charged he shows that the average yearly ex.
pendltures for the years between 1890 49,,
1872 are $1,S63, 150.36, and that the snr,
properly charged to his administration is on
ly $1,184,S76, or 1921, 572, 66 less than dnrino
lsoo-the year Immediately preceding the
war.
1t is said that Congressman Elliott will be
the next Governor of the State. IF sucb 10
the case, there is reason to hone for better
things.
