SCHENcKs SEA WEED ToNIC.-Iu the atmosphere
experienced here during the summer months, the
lethargy produced by the heat takes away the de-
sire for wholesome food and frequent prespirations
reduce bocily energy, particularly those suffering
from the effects of debilitatng diseases In order
to keep naruraI healthful activity Of the system
we must resort to artificial means. For this pur-
pose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very efectual. A
few doses will create an appetite and give fresh
vigor to the enervated body. For dyspepsia, 1t is
invaluable. Many eminent physicians have doubt
sd whether dyspepsia can be permanently cured by
the drugs which are generally employed for that
purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic fn its nature is to-
tally different from such dugs. 1t contains no cor
rosive minerals acids; in fact it assists the re5u
lar operations of nature, and supplies her defcen-
eies The tonic in its nature so much resembles
the gastric Juice that it is almos identical with that
fluid The gastric juice is the naturl solvent which
in healthy condition of the body, causes the food
to be dgested and when this juice is not excIeted
in suffcient quantities. indigestion, with all its
distressing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed
Tonic performs the duty of the gastric Juice when
the latter is deficient. SchenCks Sea Weed Tonic
sold by all Druggists.

A BIG SWIM.

MR- wEBB's ATTEMPT TO CROSS THE ENGLISH
CHANNEL RAMuRE-MoRE THAN HALF THE
DISTANCE ACCOMPLISHED.
[From the Evening Telegram of yesterday. !
LONDON, August 10, 1875.
MIR. Webb, who yesterday undertook to
swim from England to France, has failed in
his attempt. Unlike Captain Boyton, who
swum across the Channel in his rubber suit,
MI. Webb essayed to cross the Channel with
out the aid of any patent life apparatus.
THE START
He started from the Admiralty pier at
Dover yesterday afternoon at five o'clock for
Calais, and was accompanied by two sloops,
carrying number of interested persons. He
struck out boldly and was soon lost sight of
by those on shore.
THE ATTEMPT ABANDONED.
Everything promised success until four
teen minutes to twelve o'clock (midnight),
when, owing to the increased roughness of
the waves, it was thought prudent to take
him on board of one of the sloops, which was
following close behind him.
NOT FATIGUED.
Mr.. Webb was apparently not fatigued, and
had accomplished more than half the dis
lance when picked up.
His friends declare that he would have
continued on his journey but for the increas-
ing roughness of the sea.
