DIR. SCHENCK'S
Pulm0nic 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 compounded of
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which
be injurious to the human constitution.
OIL her remedies advertised 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 conine the morbid matter in the
system, which of course, must make cure impossi-
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 lungs,
liver, stomach and blood, and thus correct all NOR
bid secretions and expel all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate III this way is obvl-
Gus they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle Of this invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.

corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia every

A SUCCESSFUL TEAcHER.-Miss Sallie S.
Crocker, who will be favorably remembered by
many of our citizens as first assistant in Park
street Grammar School, has been for the past
year connected with the High School of
Genesee, Illinois. The following extract from
the account of the graduation exercises of the
school in the Genesee Republic, is a just tribute
to the admirable qualities as a teacher which
Miss Crocker exhibited here. The Repubhc
says
The graduating exercises were in the highest
degree satisfactory to ALL The expression was
general that they surpassed in a point of liter
aryexcellence the three that had preceded them,
large share of the credit of which was due to
the industry, teste, learning and perseverance
of Miss Croker, the accomplished assistant of
the High School. The duty of preparing the
class for graduation had principally fallen on
her shoulders, and right well she performed the
task imposed ON her. She deserves praise
from our people. for the complete and unex-
ampled success of the graduating class of the

CAPTURED PROPERTY.

Some time in 1862 Congress enacted what
was known as the captured and abandoned
property law, under which Treasury agents
we're appointed to receive, take charge of
and sell such captured and abandoned
Or other confiscable property as might be
taken possession of by our troops In the
field or found within the conquered terri
Tory without proper legal custodians. The
proceeds of such sales, after the payment OF
expenses incident to the care and disposi-
lion of the property, were to be covered
into the Treasury. Under thisact all army
officers were required to turn over to the
Treasury agents upon application all cap
tured property coming into their posses
sion, except such as properly entered into
the commissary or quartermasteI stores
and could be used for army supplies. This
net also provided that the net proceeds of
each lot or parcel of property should be
separately accounted for, and returns 20
made and deposited in the archives Of the
Treasury that any claimant coming for

same sources from which Mr.. Sanborn got
his $400. 900. II It had looked little fur
Their into the subject it would have found
that Congress, when 1t repealed the ''moiety
system" by which the Commissioner could
ofier large share Of the proceeds from
the penalties collected, on information,
leaving him only siz psr cont. to tempt in
formation, at the same session gave Mr..
sanborn and two other gentlemen the en-
tire moiety business for the whole country,
and allowed him gfty per cent to 60 into
the market for offers. The wonder is that
the Commissioner got anything under 9
competition 80 fatal and uneven, instead of
the large amount he did collect. Again,
our contemporary must have been asleep for
the last two years, if it has just discovered
that the income tax was evaded by persons
and corporations. Our recollection is that
the tax was abolished December 81, 1917
for that very reason. because it was theo-
retically good and practically imperfect.

some ONE of the Centennial commissioners
invited Bismarck to come to Philadelphia in
1876, and Bismarck said he would come or
send somebody. Now Congress must appro-
pirate five or ten millions of dollars that Bis
marck may not be disappointed. This is the
logic of the patriotic politicians of Philadelphia.
It would never do to offend Bismarck.
