organs that caused the cough,
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes
OF two thirds of the cases of Consumption Many
persons complain of dull pain in the side, con-
stipation coated tongue pain in the shoulderblade
feelings of drowsiness and restlessness, the food
lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied with
acidity and belching up of wind
These symptoms usually originated from disor-
dered condition of the stomach or torpid liver
Persons affected, II they take one or two heavy
colds, and If the congh in these cases be suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged
remaining torpid, and inactive, and almost before
they are aware the lungs are mass of sores, and
liberated, the result of which is death.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant which
fdoes not contain opium or anything calculated tC
check cough Suddenly.
Schencks Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the food
mixes with the gastric juices of the stomach, aids
digestion and creates a ravenous appetite.

Fine ladies are getting as fond of old

But the difference is, that instead of fill

- making historical collections of the
various porcelains and potteries of the
world. A plate of real Majolica, or a
cup and saucer of royal Sevres gives one
esteem among connoisseurs, as one who
''has the right feeling for art" in this di-
rection, but one who would win renown
among amateurs must have at least one
broken-nosed specimen of all the wares
from the time of Solomon down. Cabi-
nets, carved and velvet-lined, are conse-
Grated to these treasures, where the
royal blue and gold of true Sevres and
the splendors of Dresden are surrounded
by gaudy Hungarian ware, in red, green
and yellow. Hideous Madonnas in Ma
jolica, ugly as the painted plaster parrots
Yankee peddIers used to carry round,
together with every species of old Eng
lish deIf known to the top shelves of
kitchen closets. Alive to this increasing
passion, an enterprising speculator has
been securing New England villages and
South Carolina homesteads for treasures
of this sort, of whose valua their owners
never dreamed before The sight at the
Somerville auction rooms, where they
were sold this week, was very funny. Ii
looked as if all the property of coun-
try village was there for vendue. Sets
upon sets of blue East India china, and
odd pieces of cracked cream coIored
wedge wood with black tracings, frag-
ments of old English tea sets of pretty
chintz patterns, scaramouch Holland
painted ware, and English blue dinner
services, rehearsing the history of DIR.
Syntax on their pictured sides, or scenes
from the war of Independence, including
portraits of George Washington, were
mingled in sort of Indigestion of china.
The ug.iest old pots and basins were
there, with some really superb Stafford
shire and handsome bits of Flemish pot
terry, long gnecked, straight-sided pitchers
and jars embossed in indigo blue was
shown a yellowish Wedgewood pitcher,
as common looking as the cheapest
kitchen ware of to-day, the mate of
which brought $500 at yesterdays sale.
Let me warn all readers who think of
selling their grandfather's furniture, or
their grandmother's crockery for old
rubbish, to be careful what they are
about, for they may be throwing away
small fortune. Ii the man who had half
a dozen silk Washingtons to sell happens
to have any old tea sets or odd pieces,

The next Republican State Convention
will be held in the city of Columbus, on

dates for

yention to be held in the city of Cincin-
natl on the 14th of June. The delega-
ton from each Congressional District
will also come prepared to announce or
select two delegates and two alternates
to that Convention.
We recommend that the meetings in
the several counties for the selection of
delegates to the State Convention be
held on Saturday, March 18th, 1876, and
that efforts be made to secure large
attendance at these meetings, so that
the people shall be fairly represented in
the State Convention
The basis of representation in the Con-
vention will be one delegate for every
four hundred votes cast for General II.
b. Hayes for Governor in 1875. and one
additional delegate for any fraction of
two hundred votes aud upwards in each
county.
Under this basis Hancock comfy is
entitled to 6delegates.
All voters, without regard to past
party affiliations, who desiie the success
of the principles of the Republican Or
ganization, are cordially invited to join
in electing delegates to this Convention.
