Yesterday the argument Of counsel was
heard by Judge Heiskell, of the Circuit
Court, on the claim of Esquire Thomp-
son to a seat as a justice of the peace in
and for Shelby county. The authority
upon which this claim is based is found
in the Constitution of Tennessee, page
lO7, article 6, section Is:
There shall be two justices
Of the peace aud M constable elected
in each district by the qualified voters
therein, except districts including county
towns, which shall elect three justices
aud two constables.
And again, pages 1865 of the Code. sec
tons 1896 and 1888: For each district of
every county in this State, except those
districts including county towns, two
justices Of the peace shall be elected by
the qualified voters therein.
Section 438: For every other district
in the State, including a county town,
three justices Of the peace may be
elected by the qualified voters therein"
The question involves the claims Of
persons running for the offices Of magis'
trates and c~onstables il the Fifth, Sixth,
Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Seventeenth

above named districts are entitled to
three magistrates and two constables
each instead Of two magistrates and one
constable, for which the election was
held some days since by Election Com

The districts enumerated above ex.

DIR. Sohenck's Standard Rem dies,

The standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are SCHENCK's PULaoEIC SYRUP, SCHENCK's
SEA WEED Tonic, and SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PHI Is,
and, If taken before the lungs are destroyed, a
speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines Dr. j. Fl. Schenck, OF
Philadelphia, owes his unriyalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in the lungs; nature throws 1t of by an easy ex-
pectora1on, for when the phlegm or matter is
ripe slight cough will throw II off, the patient
has rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schencks 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 distractions 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 alkaH Of which 1t is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souring. 1t as
sists the digestion by toning up the stomach to q
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.
All who wish to consult DIR. Schenck either
personally or by letter, do at his principal
Office, corner of SIXTH and ARCH Sis, Philsdel
phia, every Monday
schenck's medicines are cold ell druggists
throughout the country.

The Successful Physician.

There is probably no man to whom

honest, fair-spoken physician, who does his
actual duty both to himself and to his pa

so numerous that their virtues need no
mention, and hence the advertisement of
DR.. +. '. Pierce, of Buffalo, may well claim
the readers attention. Dr. Pierce is type
Of class of men who obtain success by
careful and well-directed effort, not at
tempting too much or creating false ideas
as to ability. The only reliable physician

high pressure living is the "Specialist, y
the man who understands his one branch
of the business. Such in his line is DIR.
Pierce. For the benefit of his readers he
has written Common Sense Medical Ad-

who need such work. With strict bust
ness honor, high professional skill, reason
able fees and large corps of competent
assistants, DR.. Pierce will doubtless make
his name familiar as "household words "
