WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE Ls.-These m I'd -
icines have undoubtedly performed more cures OF
Consumption than any otner remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded of vege-
table ingredientsand. contain nothing which can
be injurious to- the human constitution Ot'1cf
remedies advertised as cures for Consumption
probably contain opium, which Is a somewhat
dangerous drug In all cases, and, If taken freely
by consumptiye patients, it must do great injurys
for its tendency Is to conne the morbid matter in
the system, which, Of course, must make cure
impossible. Schencks Pulmonic Syrup is war
ranted not to contain particle of opium. It ~
composed Of powerful but harmless herbs, which
act on the lungs, liver stomach and blood, and
thus correct all morbid secretions and exrel ali
the diseased matter from the body These are the
only n cans by which Consumption can be cured.
and, as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines
which operate in this way, it is obvious they are
the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
tion. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine Is
accompanied by full directions. Dr. Schenck is

The Office Of Growing Leaves.

Every leaf is supplied with mouths
(termed stoaata) upon their under surface
that these mouths perform an important
function is beautifully illustrated by the
effects of mildew. Mildew usually attacks
the under surface of the leaves, the func-
tiOns of the stomata are arrested, the fruit
if any, fails to color and usually shrivels
anu dies, and if the disease is extensive
the vine will be seriously and permanently
injured, if not destroyed. In the earlier
period of the growing season the stems
and leaves acts as a continuous drain upon
the conserved resources of the plant and
the nutritive elements contained in the
soil; but as soon as the leaves attain a
certain state Of development their stomata
absorb from the atmosphere certain nutri-
tive principles as we'll as elaborate impor-
tant elements. If the extremity of a
branch is removed and its laterals contin-
uously nipped the efforts of the vine are
directed to the early development of the
remaining leaves and to the rapid extern
sion of branches not subjected to the stop
ping and nipping process. Upon the
stopped branches. the remaining leaves
attain an unusual development and have
their functional power increased. This
increased functional activity is well illus
tratsd-in al ordinary winery where vines
are subjected to close summer pruning or
in atomato plantth has been subjected to
the pinching process, the leaves becoming
larger and thicker. - gsts~

the leaves are called aerial roots, tor they

watching woman cut grass inside yard,
and had hold of a rail Of the iron fencing,
about four feet high from the coping, in
such a manner that the fine point Of the
rail was partially inserted between a ring
on the little finger and the flesh. Her ats
tentiOn was attracted from behind, and IN
turning around fell from the coping,
stripping the flesh from the finger, with
the bone, to the first joint, and pulling
out the tendon or cord to the elbow. The
finger and tendon were left hanging by
the ring to the point of the iron.
About year ago young girl resid-
ing in the townof Wildwood, Ont, swal-
lowed a penny. No unpleasant results
were experienced until several months
ago, when she was attacked at times with
violent pains in her stomach. Physicians
were called, but they were unable to af-
ford her any relief, and for some time
she has been failing rapidly, and it was
recently thought she could survive but a
few days longer. For three weeks or
more she had taken no nourishment that
she could retain. Her mouth, she said,
tasted just like a penny, and the saliva
from the stomach was of greenish color,
and strongly impregnated with the smell
of copper. About the only thing that she
relished was lemon.
One of the most remarkable murder
cases on record is that reported recently
from Easton, Pa, an entire family named
Larcs having been poisoned by placing
arsenic in their food. The father, the
mother, and boarder in the family, are
dead, and at last accounts one of the six
children was not expected to live. The
other children arc recovering. An older son.
being suspected Of the poisoning, was ar
rested, and has confessed the horrible and
unnatural crime. He says he put the
poison in HE coffee pot, his object being
murder and robbery, and owns to having
stolen his fathers and the boarder's money
after their death. One, remarkable part
of the matter is that the young man,
whose name is Allen G. Laros, was the
teacher Of public school in an adjoining
town.

The Resging- Letter Mania.

Whether the begging-letter is an Amer
icanism or not, this dcponent saith not,
but it is undoubtedly on the increase.
Distinguished strangers are Invariably
burdcned with appeals for money. Dom
Pedro found twelve of them awaiting his
arrival, and it is reported over sixty 9th
ers have eeen suppressed by his private
Secretary. The Duke Alexis, when he
was in America, was bored by begging
letters from all sources, many of them
from pretended Russians. But it is the
home millionaires who are the. worst
bored OF all sSomehoW it. has reused the

The True Medical Philosophy.

The remarkable cures Of siys pc psis, scons
stipation, general debility, intermittent and
rcmittent fevers, nervousness, mental de-
spondcncy, and host of other ailments, by
that popular botanic inyigorant and altera
to vitalze, not deplcte, the sick, is the true
medical philosophy. Under the old system
patients underwent Il course of treatment
that often had the effect Of exhausting their
few remaining energies. Drastic purgatiop,
and the administration of violent remedies
with weakening reaction, were frequently
and most unnecessarily resorted to in cases
where IMMIGRATION combined with gmild reg
ulative treatment was the sole desideratum
That this unwise mode of medication has
been to great extent abandoned is in no
small degree due to the success which has
attended the peerless remedy above named.
