CONsUMPTIVES, TAKE NOTICE.

Every moment of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicous choice
of a remedy. The amount of testimony in favor of
DR.. schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as cure for con
sumption, far exceeds all that can be brought to
support the pretensions of any other medicine. See
Dr. Schenck's Almanac, containing the certificates
of many persons of the highest responsibility who
have been restored to health after being pronounced
ncurable by physicians Of acknowledged ability.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as
these evidences will show but the is often pro-
noted by the employment of two other remedies
which DR.: Schenck provides for the purpose. These
additional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills. BY the timely of these
medicines. according to directions Dr. Schenck GER
titles that most any case of Consumption may be
cured
DIR, schenck will be at the Quincy House, Boston,
on the following Wednesdays, from to o'clock
Jan. 18th and 18th, Feb. 10th and 24th, and March
10th and Gath Consultations free; but for thorough
examination of the lungs, with the Respirometor,
the priceis IS.
DR.. Schenck is professionally at his principal of
fee, Corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia,
every Monday, where all letters of advice must be
adore ssed.

A CLERGYMAN's OPINION.

Rev. G. s. ROBINSON, d. D., in article in the
Sunday School Times, on the subject, says of ST

trustworthy periodical for children be named
1t is the side OF all that is and good from be
ginning to end"
In order to place this magazine within the reach OF
all the publishers offer 10 send the II numbers
(Nov., rs, to Dec, '7G) for $500.
Or for $500, they will send the twelve numbers
beginning with Nov, rs, and either of the bound
volumes CT ST. NICHOLAS for II or 20, the full
price of which is $500 Or for $500 they will send
ST.. NICHOLAS as above, and both the bound vol
umes, the full price of which is $ll.Oo.

with nearly 900 illustrations; they have five splen
did serial stories besides shorter stories hstorca

BAD STATE OF THE POST OFFICE DEPART
MENT.
lnvestig ations by the present House are
ugly things A year ago Postmaster Gen
eral Jewell was for reform. The straw-bid
scandal was to be probed to the bottom. He
began, and was terrified by what he found
1t would not do to go on. 1t would ruin
the party, and he stopped. But the House
committee has got a peep into the rotten
ness, and Mr.. Jewell is confronted with the
evidence that the best contracts in Louisi-
ana, Arkansas and Texas have been let for
years on the fraudulent straw-bid system !;
and what is particularly bad for the head
of the department is that there is abund-
ant evidence that he was apprised of the
frauds year ago, but failed to expose the
guilty parties and bring them to justice.

Where Does it all Come From

Pints and quarts of filthy Catarrhal dis
charges. Where does it all come from5 The
mucous membrane which lines the chambers of
the nose, and its little glands, are diseased so
that they draw from the blood its liquid, and
exposure to the air changes it into corruption.
This life-iquid is needed to build up the system,
but it is extracted, and the system is weakened
by using DR.. Pierce's Medical Discovery, which
also acts directly upon these glands, correcting
them, and apply Or. Sage's Catarrh Remedy
with DR.. Pierces Nasal Douche, the only meth
cd OF reaching the upper cavities, where the
discharge accumulates and comes from. The
instrument and both medicines sold by drug
gists and dealers in medicines.

On this subject, says ga literature than that

1t would hardly be possible for the mind of man to

than an open advocacy of vice and intemperance for

have excies, stimulates and debases the intellect,
units it for healthy food fills the Imagination with
gaudy and distorted pictures of life and develops he
passions at an age when they should be most under
control How much of the low moral tone of socie-
