ONE of the select families in Great Britain
has lately become extinct by the death Of the
daughter and only child of the last Baron
Kirkcudbright. The family, that of Mac
Lellan, appeared as landholders in Scotland
as early as 1911, and for centuries furnished
warriors and statesmen for the northern
kingdom. 1t became greatly impoverished
through its attachment to the Inflated house
of Stuart, and in 1850 the sixth baron was
forced to sink the peer and open a glover's
shop in Edinburgh. Once a year, on the oc-
casion of the ''Peer's Ball." he made his ap.
pearance in full dress among his equals in
station, and then returned to his shop. The
family never recovered its prosperity, though
the mercantile hodse of Mcclellan soon came
to an end.

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 are compounded of
vegetable ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution.
Other remedies advertised as cures for Consumn
ton, probably contain OPIUM which is a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases. and il taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
BILE.
Sehenck'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 expe all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can, be cured, and as Schenck' -Pulmonc
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate iii this way. il is obvi-
