brated and popular medicines have effected revo-
luton in the healing art, and proved the falacy of
several maxims which have for many years obstruct-
ed the progress sfmedical science The false suppo-
sition that Consumption is ncurable" deferred ply
sicians from attempting to find remedies for that dis
selves to death without making an effort to escape
from doom which they supposed to be unavoidable.
1t Is proved, however, that Consumption can be
cured and that it has been cured in very great
number of (some of them apparently desperate
ones) by Schenek's Pulmonc Syrup alone; and in
other by the same medicine in connection with
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one
both, according to the requirements of the case.
DIR. Sehenck himself who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years. supposed
at time to be at the very gate of DEATH his ply
sicians having pronounced his case hopeless, and
abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the
aforesaid medicines, and, since his recovery, many
thousands similarly affected have used Dr. Schencks
preparations with the same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, making it not alb
soutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck

purpose he is professionally at his principal office,

METEOROLOGICAL REPORT.

The work of the signal Office has been con-
tinued as in former years, and with what value
to any branch of business or the community
in general our citizens can judge,
We have never yet received from the Blu
reau as much advantage as we think it is cap
able of bestowing, at any rate not as much as
it bestows on other places. A part of this is
unavoidable and due to our geographical posi-
ton. The observations being taken and the re-
ports sent out simultaneously make our local
time later than at places to the westward, and
in the case of midnight reports, does not enable
our morning apapers to publish more than a
brief synopsis of the probabilities.
The display of the storm signal here would
more nearly correspond to the passage of the
storm if they would adopt for this special pur-
pose the nautical instead of the civil day, thus
getting in twelve hours ahead of the present
time. 1t too frequently happens, as it did to-
day, that the:storm flag was displayed several
hours after vessels had put to sea with fav-
orable wind, clear sky and low barometer.
The continuance of this may result in making
the storm signal dead letter. OF the twenty
three cautinnary signals displayed the past SIX
months, the officer in charge reports nine as
justified
