eCHENCK's PULMoHIC SYRUP, SEA WEED TONIC
AND MANDRAKE PILLS.

AND MANDRAKE PILLS.
These deservedIy celebrated and popular medi-
cines have effected revolution in the healing
art, and proved the fallacy Of several maxims
which have for many years obstructed the pro
QTess of medical science. The false superstition
that consumption is incurable" deferred physi-
clans from attempting to flnd remedies for that
disease, and patients afflicted with 1t reconeiled
themselves to death without making an effort to
escape from q doom which they supposed to be
unavoidable. 1t is now proved, however, that
cORSumPtioH can be cured and that It mas oeen
cured in a very great number Of cases (some OF
them apparently desperate ones) BY Sehencks
Pulmonic Syrup alone, and In othercases by the
same medicine in connection with Scheneks Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, &C.
cording to the requirements Of the case.
Dr.Schenck himself wko enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years, was sup
posed at one time to be at the very gate Of death,
his physicians having pronounced bis case nope
less and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured
by the aforesaid medicines and since his recovery
many thousands similarly affected have used Dr.
Schenck's preparations with the same remarkaole

Of the past and rekindle the issues of the

administration would have been buried
long ago. 1t was onhis invitation that

Fey The Grand Lodges OF the Order
of Masonry convened at Put-in-Bay the
first week in this month. We clip the
following from their proceedings, and we
think it will prove interesting to the
Brethren generally:
"Among the most important matters
discussed by the Grand Chapter was the
subject of mileage and per diem for dele
gates attending the Grand Bodies Or
ali The Chapters in the State, the greater
portion of them are dead weight on the
Grand Chapter as relates to per diem aud
mileage. Many of the smaller Chapters
pay as Grand Chapter dues from five to
seven and nine dollars, aud draw out as
mileage and per diem from twenty to for
ty-ive dollars At this rate the next ses
sion of the Grand Chapter will leave its
treasury without dollar. 1t now takes
all the revenue derived from the Chapters
in the larger cities to keep up the country
Chapters, which is certainly misappro-
pria.ion Of the funds. The Grand Lodge
of Ohio Free and Accepted Masons is af
ficted in the same manner, and instead OF
increasing the General Fund by the insti-
tuition of new Lodges, the very reverse is
the order OF things under the. present
rule.
"The only remedy for the evil suggest
ed by Mssons unselfish enough to have
the interest OF the Order at heart, is for
each organization, Lodge, Chapter and
Commandery, to pay the expenses of its
delegates to the Grand Bodies. The rep
resentation would not be so large, but the
good accomplished would be incalcula.
ble, Under the present system, when
there are two or three delegates present,
| it is seldom that more than one is on
hand ready to attend to the business OF
the Lodge, while the Others pass their
time in seeing the sights. This was no
,iceable to great extent in the sessions

before the wind under steam and can

fifteen knots an hour, Webb was far out
of sight before tue vessel could be

in search of him, and Webb was picked
up after having been for half an hour
in sea such as no one had ever before
been known to encounter successfully,

E%g' ihc Cincinnati Exposition is a big

advertises tho wares OF large number of

nent to take the edge off the appreciation
of mere visitor, man seeking for
goods, wares or merchandise may h ere
find in an honr the very best specimens
of goods which it might cast him weeks
of search to find elsewhere.
1t is very improper to say it, yet as an

good many CINCINNATI people freely ad

sceptical upon this point. Heretofore,
We believe, the papers have published the
