DR.. ScHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, SEA WEED
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PIILs.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures Of Con-
sumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded Uf vegct-
able ingredients, and contains nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution. Other
remedies advertised cures for consumption,
drobably contains opium, which is q somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and If taken freely by
consumptive patients 1t must bo great injury; for
it's tendency is to conne the morbid matter in the
system which, of course, must make cure imposs-
ible. Schencks Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not
to contain darticae Of opium: 1t is composed of
powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the
lungs, liver, stomach, and blood and thus correct
oil morbid secretions, md expel all the diseased
matter from the body. Thease are the only means
| by which Consumption can be cured, and as
Schenck's Pulmornic Syrup, Sea Weed, Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which op-
crate in this way, it is obvious they are the only
genuine cure for Pulmonary Consumption. Each
bottle Of this invaluable medicine is accompanied
by full directions. DR.. Schenck is professionally

A LITTLE GRIT.

Fort Worth has its Construction Com
pany, which proposes, by arrangements
made with the Texas and Pacific Railroad
Company, to complete tue bed work OF
their road to Fort Worth in a given time.
1t appears that the railroad company is un-
able, at this time, to do more than lay the
track and supply the rolling stock for the
extension, and the Fort Worth people, poe
sessing grit have entered into an arrang-
ment with the company, taking time notes
or other obligations, and in consideration
are to do the grading and bridge work on
the line of the road as far as their town.
The extension will be Of iDcalculable bene-
fit to the entire section about Fort Worth,
and by the increase of facilities for trans
porting exports and imports, these people
will reap substantial benefits without wait
ing for the railroad company. About thirty
miles of road is to be thus built by the
C instruction Company, out Of which imme
diate benefits are to be gained, and fol
which the railroad company is to pay in thu
end, These reflections lead Us to the fac
that lust now the International Railroad
Company is unable 20 build its line of roat
| To Austin. and with such Q scheme as ha
been put upon foot at Fort Worth. A sec
ond railroad hight be completed to this cit.

MIR. Webster showed by this inquiry of
Sargent that he had a correct idea of the
duty of journalist. At the present day it
is the fashion (among noodles) to lay down
the maxim that newspapers should .tolLot0,
not lead, public opinion. Then, let US ask,

news distributors. Suppose the National

have left in lieu of that which is now incor-
