CoNsUMPTIvEs, TAKE NoTICE.-Every moment
ofdelay makes your cure more hopeless, and much
depends on the judicious choice of a remedy The
amount of testimony in favor of DR.. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for consumption, far
exceeds all that can be brought to support the pre-
tensions of any other medicine. See DR.. Schenck's
Almanac, containing the certificates of many per-
sons of the highest responsibility, who have been
restored to health, after being pronounced incura-
BILE by physicians of acknowledged ability.
schenck's Pulwonic Syrup alone has cured many,
as these evidences will show but the cure is often
promoted by the employment of two other rem
edies which DR.. Schenck provides for the pur-
pose. These additional remedies are schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the
timely use of these medicines according TO direc-
tons, DR.. Schenck certifes that most any case OF
Consumption may be cured.
DR.. Schenck is professionally at his principal
Office, corner Sixth and Arch Streets Philadel-
phia, every Monday, where all letters for advice
must be addressed

A Spanish Relic in Georgia.

From the cambridge (Ga.) Democrat.
We have in our sanctum one Of the
most interesting relics of the past ages
that we ever saw. It a part of the
armor worn by a Spanish soldier nearly
three and half centuries ago, and con-
sists Of helmet with visor, and one
arm, all being of wrought iron, one-sixth
of an inch thick, and weighing seven
teen pounds. Some idea can thus be
formed of the weight of the entire suit
of mail, when when we say that the
above constitutes less than one-third of
it. This relic was ploughed up by a
farmer in Jefferson county, Florida,
about the year 1856. He did not know
what it was, Or perhaps he would have
reclaimed it all; but he only took
enough for use as weights to his lot
gate, for which it answered admirably.
Some years afterward a gentleman
passing this farmers house was struck
by the oddly of the construction of the
old iron with which the gate was
weighted. He at once procured the
weights or armor from the farmer,
which he carried to Tallahassee, where
considerable interest and attention were
attracted thereto. The gentleman went
to Cuba, where he died, leaving the relic
with the late Acknowledgement Gal
braith, of Florida It is now in posses
sion of Mrs. w. B. Wright, sister
of the Attorney-General, who resides
eight miles south of cambridge, and it
was through her cortesy that we had
the pleasure of seeing it. The soldier
who wore this armor was beyond a
doubt, one of the followers of Fernan-
do De Soto, the discoverer Of the Mis-
sissippi, who explored Florida in the
year 1859 The soldier was probably
killed in one of the many battles which
that gallant band had with the Indians,
and was buried with his armor on three
hundred and sixty years ago.

"Facts are Stubborn Things"

Thousands of human beings are

How is your health ?" The reply
frequently is, ooh, l am WELL with the
exception of cold" Most persons lightly
regard cold. Reader, do you know that a
cold is one of the most dangerous of mala-
dies? A cold not only clogs up the pores of
it is productive Of Catarrh, which is quite apt
to lead to Consumption "Oh, you say, &C it
is nothing but cold in my head" True
but that cold is really amid form of Catarrh,
and if not arrested in its course will become
chronic Catarrh is one of the most disagree
able, offensive affections in the catalogue of
diseases. The passage to the nose is obstruct-
ed the sense Of smell impaired, and there is
a disagreeable sensation of pressure In the
head. In the more advanced stages there is
discharge having an offensive odor. If
the disease be allowed to continue in it's
course, thick, hard incrustations will form
in the head the bones of which sometimes
become softened and break away in pieces.
Why will persons continue to suffer from
such an annoying, disgusting disease, when
they can just as we'll be cured of il? DR..
Sages Catarrh Remedy will cure the worst
forms of Catarrh in fact, it is the only sure
and safe remedy which has yet been offered
to the public. Many harsh, irritating prep
arations may, for time; relieve the urgency
OF the symptoms, but they do not cure the
disease DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy is
soothing and healing in its effects and when
used with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche, accord

cure. Sold by all Druggists.-Com.

the beauty Of the compilations of New

4 Hundred Years AGO.

Where, where are all the birds that sang
A hundred years ago?
The flowers that all in beauty sprang
A hundred years ago?
The lips chat smiled,
The ewes that wild
In flashes shone
Soft eyes upon:
Where, 0 where are the lips and eyes,
The maiden's smiles, the lovers signs,
That lived so long ago?
Who peopled all the city streets
A hundred years ago?
Who filled the church with faces meek
A hundred years ago?
The sneering tale
Of sister frail;
The plot that worked
A brothers hurt
Where, o where are plots and sneers,
The poor mans hopes, the rich mans fears
That lived so long ago?

Altitude Fascination.

Jumping from points of elevation is
a fashion of suicide. To stand on an
elevated site exercises singular fascin-
alton over some people, leading them to
jump into the air 1t causes others to
sweat and tremble with fear. Last
summer | talked with the guardian Of
of the steeple of the cathedral at Stras-
burg on this subject, and he Informed
me that few visitors were free from the
feeling of fright on reaching the first
terrace, which is of great altitude, and
that it was SO pronounced as to gener-
ally prevent them from going any
higher. Sometimes the women tainted.
| confess that / was not free from a
vague dread in looking out over the
immense reach of landscape which
this view takes in, although there was
absolutely no danger, the terrace being
securely guarded by strong iron rails.
This guide-informed me thatthe sum-
mer before an Englishman had tainted,
but determined to overcome his fright,
and continued to ascend every day for
week, until he could look out in the
direction Of the Black Forest, from the
lantern, with equanimity. During the
summer a man had jumped into the
air through altitude fascination. He
was probably dead before reaching the
ground, on account of the immense
height from which he hurled himself.
Formerly the Vendome Column was
the scene of so many deaths Of this
kind that decree was issued to pre-
vent visitors from ascending it unless
accompanied by guardian 1t was the
Tarpeian Rock of Paris. Such num-
Der have killed themselves from the
fascination of altitude, or the fright
produced thereby, that elevated places
must be recognized as dangerous for
certain people, Those whose self-kil-
ling is premediated of course are not
comprised therein.
A Mistake All Around.
One night recently a farmer living
near Washington, Warren county, N.
j., was awakened early in the morning
by the noise of some one entering his
house. Springing from his bed he sal
lied out to meet the intruder, and as
he entered the kitchen he saw the form
of man standing in the room. De-

hazards, he called to the hired man,
who slept in an adjoining room, and
Selling chair aimed a deadly blow at
the burglars head. The darkness in
terfered with his aim, and the chair
struck the upper part of door, and
Suffering to pieces, fell at his feet.
Before he could recover himself, the
hired man made his appearance, and
installing his employer for the burglar
who had suddenly disappeared
struck him with another chair and
knocked him down. Lights were soon
produced and the whole family
aroused, when it was discovered that
the supposed burglar was an employe
on the same farm, who had been out
on "sparking" expedition, and had
endeavored to gain access to his room
without awakening the family. His en-
ployer informed him, as he caressed
the bruise on his body, that hereafter
he should take nightkey or keep bet
ter hours. He thinks he will.

VEGETINE.-The conviction is, in the
public mind as well as in the medical pro-
fession, that the remedies supplied by the
vegetable kingdom are more safe, more sue
cessful, in the cure of diseases, than mineral
medicines. Vegetine is composed of roots,
barks and herbs. 1t is pleasant to take, and
is perfectly safe to give to an infant Do you
need it? Do not hesitate to try it. You will
never regret it-COm.
