DIR. ScHENcK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA WEED
TONIC, AND MANDRAKE PILLs-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con-
sumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded of vegeta-
bic ingredients, and contain nothing which can be
injurious TO the human constitution Other rene
dies advertised as cures for Consumption probably
contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerous drug
in all cases, and if taken freely by consumptive pa
tents it must do great injury for its tendency is to
confine the morbid matter to the system, which, of
course, must make a cure impossible. Schepck's
Pumonic Syrup is warranted not to contain parti-
Gle of opium. 1t is composed of powerful but harm
less herbs (which act the lungs, liver, stomach,
and blood, and thus correct all morbid secretons,
and expel all the diseased matter from the body.
These are the only means by which Consumption can
be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea
Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medi-
cines which operate in this way, it is obvious they
are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
tion Each bottle of this Invaluable medicine il ac-
companied by full directions. DR.. Schenck is pro-
tessionally at his principal Office corner Sixth and
Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, where all
letters for advice must be addressed.

son in-law, Harmon, have for some time been

forbidding his entering and threatening to shoot
him if be persisted. Harmon made another
attempt, when Herrin shot him, the ball enter
ing the bowels on the right side and was taken
out at the back. Harmon lived until Monday
night. Herrin, after firing, returned to the
house, loaded his gun and threatened to shoot
any one that dared follow him.
