DIR. SCHENCK'S
PuIm0nie 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
be injurious to the human constitution.
Other remedies advertised as cures for Consump-
ton, probably contain opium, which is a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases. and if taken freely by
consumpive patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to contine the morbid matter in the
system, which of course, must make cure impossi-
BILE.
Schencks 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 secretons and expe all the diseased matter from
the body. These 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 III 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.
DIR. 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 24:h, July Sth
aud 22d, and August 9Th and 18th.

mittee, through Mr.. Potter, have recommend an
investigation into the condition ofSouth Carolina
With view of ascertaining whether any RENE
dy is possible for the misgovernmcnt and public
corruption which have driven the taxpayers OF
the State to appeal to Congress for relief. The
report, the Baltimore American says, hints at
the desirability of an educational qualification
for voters, thus looking beyond the case Of the

instantly killed; also son Of Prof Buckshaw,
fourteen years of age; Mrs. Buokshaw had a
leg broken and was severely bruised; Emma G.
Morse, fourteen years old, had her left arm
torn off and her skull fractured; her Injuries are
probably fatal. Reports prevail that one or
more are still under the debris. There were
many narrow escapes, some thirty persons be.
ing 10 the building when it fell. The cause of
