And Chaucer paints anew his age.

celebrated and popular medicines have affect
ed revolution in the healing art, and proved
the. iallacy of several maxims which have for
many years DISTRACTED the progress Of med.
ical science. The false supposition that ''Con-
sumption is incu:able" deferred physicians
from attempting to find remedies for that di-
sease, aud patients afflicted with it reoonciled
themselves to death without making IN effort
to escape from q doom which they supposed
to be unavoidable. It now proved, however,
that Consumption can b" cxred, and that 1t has

(some Of them apparently desperate ones) by

connection with Schenk's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake pills; one or both, according to
tue requirements of the case.
DR.. Schenck himself, who enjoyed unintc1-
rupted good health for more than forty years,
was supposed, ct one time to he at the very
gate of death, his physicians having pronounc-
ed his case hopeless, and abandoned him to
his fate. He was cured by the atorsaid medi-
