DIR. SCHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, SEA WEED
TONIC, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con-
sumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded of vegeta-
BILE Ingredients and contain nothing which can be
injurious to the human constitution Other reme-
dies advertised as cures for Consumption, probably
contain opium, which is somewhat dangerous drug
in all cases. and if taken freely by consumptive pa
tents it must do great injury; for its tendency is to
confne the morbid matter to the system, which, of
course, must make a cure impossible. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain patti
Gle of opium. 1t is composed of powerful but harm
less herbs, which act the lungs, liver, stomach,
and blood, and thus correct all morbid secretions
and expel all the diseased matter from the boGy
These are the only means by which Consumption can
be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea
Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medi-
cines which operate in this way, it is obvious they
are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
ton. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is ac-
companled by full directions. Dr.. Schenck is pro
fessonally at his principal Office corner Sixth and
Arch Streets, Philadelphia every Monday, where all
letters for advice must be addressed.

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-R. D. Mussey, of
he Bar of the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia, has placed in hands of Proctor
Knott, chairman of the House judiciary COM
mittee, memorandum charging d. G. Hum
phreyS, one of the associate justices of the Su-
preme Court of the District, with being totally
unfit mentally for judge, and says that he is
Ignorant of law, incapable of logical reasoning
and given to feeble, vapid, disconnected utter
ances upon the bench, devoid alike of legal
point and common sense, that he is frequently
intoxicated upon the bench, that he sat, in at
least one case, where he had great pecuniary
interest in the result, and that, generally, by
his conduct as judge, he has hindered justice,
rendered himself general laughing stock and
brought discredit upon the court of which he is
member.

question of time and may possibly be nearly
consummated tomorrow. The salary or COM
,ensation features are the main points at issue,
therefore,, these points settled in one bill would
.emove similar obstacles in the way of others,
with exception Of the Indian appropriation bill
where the difficulty is in the provision Of the
House for the transfer of the Indian bureau
from the Interior to the war department. The
two Houses having passed joint resolution
making temporary provision for carrying on the
government, the apprehension of embarras-
ment by the delay to pass the general appropri-
