Treatment of CrOuD.

A German physician, DR.. Stehverger,
recommends the treatment of Group by
the inhalation of pure glycerine through
one or other of the we'll known forms
of atomlzing apparatus. Hewas led to
try this remedy for Group from observ-
ing its good effects in cases of hoarse-
ness and loss of voice. After applica-
ton the cough becomes more free and
moist, and children are enabled to
sleep almost Immediately upon being
relieved by the inhalation. 1t is, how
ever, believed to be of Importance to
make use of the remedy early and fire.
quently, as, if delayed, it may have no
effect whatever. If the glycerine be
pure, it may be used unmixed; if not,
1t should be diluted with little water.
The Limitations are repeated, according
to the necessity of the case, at intervals
of from half an hour to an hour and a
half, and for about fifteen minutes at a
time

DIR. Sohenck's Standard Remedies.

The standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are SCHENCKs PULMoNIC SYRUP, SCHENCK's
SEA WEED Tonic and SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS.
and, If taken before the lungs are destroyed, q
speedy cure Is effected so
To these three medicines DR.. j. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled SUCCESS in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases
The PulmOnic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in the lungs; nature throws it Off by an easy ex-
decoration, for when the phlegm or matter Is ripe
q slight cough will throw it of, the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills
act ON the liver, removing all distinctions relax
the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the
liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and Alternative the alkali of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents SQUIRTING. 1t as
sists the digestion by toning up the stomach to
healthy condition, so that the food and the Pull
monte Syrup will make good Blood then the lungs
heal, and the patient will surely get well if care
is taken to prevent fresh cold.
ALI who wish to consult DR.. Schenck, either
personally or by letter, can do so at his principal
office, corner of SIXTH and ARCH STs., Philadel-
phia, every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country

CHRONIC DISEASES CURED.-In COM
munities remote from larger towns there
seems to be but two alternatives for the sick;
either to employ the family physician or to
patronlze the patent medicine vendors.
Those who are driven to this extremity, if
suffering with chronic disease, we would ad-
wise to write to DR.. &c. B. FooTE, of 1870
Lexington avenue N. Y. DR.. Il is the not
ed author of Plain Home Talk" +" Medi-
cal Common Sense" "Scence in Story"
and other popular medical works which
have had wide circulation all over the
globe. In DR.. F. we have a physician who
has had extensive experience in treating the
sick at distanse from his office, and, more
over, his consultations are free. Amy one of
our readers is at liberty to consult hin, with
the mere outlay Of postage stamp. He is
said to have patients at this moment in Ger
many Great Britain, Liberia Chinese EN-
plre, and the West Indies If patent medi-
clnes can now and then hit successfully when
adopted by people who have little knowl
edge OF their own organizations or OF their
diseases, how much more successfully can
a physician, after instituting all necessary
inquiries, prepare remedies precisely suited
to the organization and diseases of the in
valid; just as tailor cuts and fits a coat to
the back. In this more important matter
relating to the health and life of people,
there is all the difference which exists be-
tween Chatham street clothing and that
made by first-class tailor after taking the
most minute measurements. DIR. FooTE is
recognized success in his SPECIALIZATION.

eggs. Only five died in all that long
period of confinement on the island,
including child and two men, who,
having injured hand and foot re-
spectively, suffered from fatal gam
creme, the too natural result of such a
life. Salt to season the eternal omelets
they would get of course from. the sea,
and we must suppose that fish Of mol
lusks helped them out little; but
throughout that dreary time they never
tasted bread or biscuit, and, except for
the lucky accident that some of the
people had match-boxes in their pock-
cts at landing, they never probably
could have lighted fire. A passen-
gers chest washed ashore had supplied
them with few blankets, knives, and
spoons, and case of boots also came
to land; otherwise; they were the most
destitute company of people ever, we
should think, cast upon the charity of
Nature and their own wits. Nor can it
be doubted that we obtain new meas
ure of the simple conditions upon
which bare existence may be supported
when it is reflected that A human
beings lived and even throve during
nearly 100 days under such circum-
stances.
All this dreary while, it need not be
stated, keen lookout was kept from
first break of dawn to the last glimpse
of daylight for any passing sail-for
life depended upon rescue. The sea-
birds were growing wilder as they
found themselves preyed upon, and
THERE'S no way of passing to the other
islands; thus the agony of the poor
creatures may be imagined when more
than once ship was deserted, only to
be watched as she sailed past them
without perceiving their signals. At
length, however, on fortunate day
last January, the Young Phoenix, a
New Bedford vessel, finding the whale
in these lonely ATTITUDES, stood into the
islands, and saw the blanket ensign.
Her captain like a worthy fellow, in
stantly run up the Stars and Stripes in
token that he would send help, and,
dispatching his boats ashore, he after
learning the plight of the castaways,
took all the A survivors on board his
ship, where it was naturally for many
days unconmonly close quarters.
Some public recognition will, we trust,
reward the humane behavior Of the
American skipper, for, though it might
seem incredible that any one could find
his fellow-men in such a position as
that of the Strathmore survivors, and
leave even one of them in jeopardy,
still it was ne slight undertaking in
these solitary seas, with the chance of
failing supplies and rough weather, to
ship the entire company and give up
every object of the voyage to put
them in place of safety.

Fair Heiress to the Sum of $500, 900.
From the Leavenworth Times

The usually quiet street named after
the Seneca Indians has been excited for
the past few days over the appearance
Of a prominent Eastern lawyer, in
search of a young lady who has been
bequeathed cool $500, 900 by the death
of an uncle. He has been in the city
with the will and papers of the late
VIM. Foster, of Maryland. Mr.. Foster
died of consumption, at his elegant res
idence in Maryland, having no relations
to inherit his vast estate except the
daughter of a only brother, Frank Eos
ter, who died in Cincinnati in poor cir
cumstances. This child was adopted
by Mrs. Kenny, who lives on the south
east corner Of Seventh and Seneca
streets, and has continually resided
with her mother up to the present
time. For short time, however, she
was married to Thomas Patterson, but
soon obtained DIVORCE. Miss Foster
goes East before fall to take possession
OF her immense fortune, after which
the happy and lucky heiress will enjoy
her snug thousands in the shades Of the
Rocky Mountains. Leavenworth and

Ancient Newspapers.

1.-THE coming Centennial Newspaper
Exhibition at Philadelphia it has been
decided to display copies of antique
journals and other curiosites of news
paper literature. To this interesting
collection all persons having ancient,
quaint, or curious specimens are invited
to contribute; and should the response
be as hearty and general as we hope to
lind it, this gathering of time-worn pub
locations will prove to be not only a
leading trait of the Newspaper Depart
ment, but also one of the salient at
fractions Of the Exhibition as whole,
All having the ability, and the will to
aid on the project should transmit their
consignments without delay to the Phil
adelphia office of the Newspaper Exhi-
bition, Ledger Building, 10 South
Sixth Street, Philadelphia. Whilst on
view, these exhibits will have attached
to them labels designating by whom
they are contributed, and all consistent
care will be taken to preserve them
from damage. After the close of the
Exhibition they will be again at the
service of their owners, Or, in the

During the late var there were many
newspapers issued which illustrated the
straits in which their publishers found
| themselves. Pink, blue, and yellow
sheets, wrapping paper, and many other
substitutes were pressed into service.
Specimens Of these now possess a Curl
Gus interest.
The advantages to the public of such
a gathering are manifest to a degree
which renders elucidation unnecessary,
and the opportunity to do very useful
act is placed within easy reach. A
single copy of some senile broadsheet
may not be OF much worth to its pro-
prietor, yet in. conjunction with others
it will make up a worthy collection.
Many people there are who, having
preserved such curiosities for years,
can turn them to little or practical &C
count, and it is not too much to hope
that the response given by such will be
ready and general. Without loss to
themselves, they can materially benefit
visitors to the Great Centennial Exhi-
bition and appreciably advance a pa

Pierce to extract from the juices of the

remedy for the conditions for which you
prescribe them Of anything I have ever
used, so mild and certain in effect and
leaving the bowels in an excellent condi-
ton. 1t seems to me they must take the
place Of all other cathartic Pills and medi-
cines."

them much better than large Pills."

A Snuff.BOx from Piece of George
WashingtOn's Coffin.
From the Boston Globe.


A piece of George Washington's cot.
I'M is performing service at Elmwood
near Hartford, as snuf-box, and its
owner, Mrs. Harriet B. Johnson, is &C
tually proud Of the possession of it,
and wants to sell it. 1t is about an
inch and half in diameter, and half
an inch thick, bound with silver bands,
and having a silver plate on the top
bearing the inscription: "E. H. Bur
rift to Z. ?. HILL"
Elijah III. Burritt, brother of Elihu
Burritt, procured the wood, as stated
IN the following letter to Mrs. johnson
from Elihu Burritt:
am very glad to learn that one of
the snuff boxes which my broSher, Eli
jah Hinsdale Burritt, had made out of
Gen. Washington's coffin has come into
your hands. 1t is a precious relic and
| hope that you will see that it is not
exposed to loss, but will direct it to be
deposited in some historical institution
which will appreciate and treasure it as
a very jewel of historic value. think
it was IN 1885 that [ went with my
brother Elijah to Mount Vernon. The
old servant who took us about the
mansion, garden and grounds, showed
us the grave in which Gen. Washing
toms remains were deposited until they
were removed to new tomb near by.
We went into this empty grave and
found pieces of the outer coffin still
lying there. My brother begged one
of them and brought it home to New
Britain, and had several snuff boxes
made of it. One OF these he sent to
DIR. Dick, of Scotland, and gave two or
three others, l believe, to some of his
intimate friends. The one you have is
most likely the only one in this coun-
try that is not lost beyond recovery. 1
know you will treasure it at its in
creasing value, and never part with it
except to a party or institution that
will prize and preserve it as above it's
weight in gold ten times over"
