DR. SCHESCK's STANDARD REMEDIES.
The standard remedies for all diseases
Of the lungs are ScnRNCK's PULMoNIc
SYRUP. SCnENCK's SEA WRRD TONIC and
ScHENcK's MANDRAKE PILLS; and, if
taken before the lungs are destroyed, O
speedy cure is effected. To these three
medicines, DR.. j. II. Schenck, of Phila-
dclphia. owes his unrivaled success in
tho treatment Of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the NOR.
bid matter in the lungs; nature throws
it of by an easy expectoration; for when
tho phlegm or matter is ripe, a slight
cough will throw it of, tho patient has
rest, and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pnlmonio Syrup to do
this, Schenck's Mandrake Pills and
Schenck's SEQ Weed Tonic must ,be
freely used. to cleanse the stomach and
liver. Sohenck's Mandrake Pills act on
the liver, removing all distractions. re-
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts
freely. and tho liver is soon relieved.
Sohenck's Sea Weed Tonic is q gentle
stimalant and Alternative. The alkali of
which it is composed mixes with the
food aud prevents souring. It assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach
to henltby condition, SO that the food
and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good
blood; then the lungs heal. and the pa.
tient will surely get well, if care is taken
to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck.
either personally or by letter, can do so
at his principal Office. corner of Sixth
aud Arch streets, Philadelphia. everv
Monday. Sohenck's medicines are sold
by all druggists throughout the country.

Tho Connecticut Election.


Tomorrow. the 9th instant. an elec.
tion will take place in Connecticut,
when Legislature. Governor aud State
officers will be chosen. As great inte-
rest is felt in this election, it may be
we'll to. notica the results of past politi.
cal contests in that State. From 1856
to 1865. both inclusive. the State went
regularly Republican BY ma;e::.:es vary.
ing from 1900 10 1865 to 541 in 1870.
In ten elections since l866-eight for
Governor and two for President-the
State has been Republican eix times;
while in the elections for Governor
alone. each party hse carried the State
toc- .:1ss. II s.hess e:s5tio,>s, tue ag-
gregate Republican majority, including
q plurality OF 100 in 1872. was 1,O9S,
and the aggregate Democratic majority
was 8.86e. Last year. the Democrats
elected their Governor by a mejority Of
5.8l4. The present administration of
the State Government has given great
satisfaction. The Governor-Charles
J. Ingersoll made wise aud dig
ni6ed executive. and there is nothing
for, which he aud the subordinate State
officers can be reproaohed. This is u
strong card in the present contest. On
the other hand, the course OF the party
in control OF the National Administra-
tion has given great umbrage to the Re.
publican voters, and there will be a
heavy falling away at the polls. as in
New Hampahire. The prospect is. that
Connecticut will elect the Democratic
State ticket by significant majority.
and that even the Legislature will be
Democratic. It the rotten borough sys-
tenn did not prevail in the Wooden Nut
meg State. we should feel sure of De.
