DR.. Schenck's Standard Remedies.

The standard remedies for all diseases, OF
the lungs are Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup,
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic, and Schenck's
Mandrake Pills, and, if taken before the
the lungs are destroyed, aspeedy cure is atfec-
ted.
To these three medicines DR.. s. H.
Schcnck, Of Philaelphia, owes his unrivalled
success in the treatment of pulmonary dis
eases. J.:
The pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid
matter in the lungs; nature throws it off by
an easy expectoration, for when the phlegm
or matter is ripe slight cough will throw it
of, the patient has rest and the lungs begin
to heal :
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleans the
the stomach and liver Schenck's Mandrake
Pills act on the liver; removing all obstruc-
tons, relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle slim
ulant and alternative; the alkali Of which it is
composed, mixes with the food and prevents
SQUIRTING. 1t assists the digestion by toning
up the stomach to = healthy condition, 30
that the food and Pulmonio Syrup will
make good blood then the lungs heal,
the patient will surely get well If care is taken
to prevent fresh cold. g5ns%@ss 70; ~ II
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck, eth
er personally or by letter, can do 80 at his
principal Office, corner Of Sixth and Arch Sts.,
Philadelphia, every Monday: - /.

CHRONIC DISEASES CURED.-In communities
remore from larger towns there seems to be but
two alternatives for the sick either to employ
the family physician or to patronize the patent
medicine vendors. Those who are driven to
this extremity, if suffering with chronic di-
seases, we would advise to write to DR.. E. B.
Foote, Of l20 Lexington avenue, N. Y. Dr.
F. is the noted author of ssPlain Home Talk. .
..Medical Common Sense" ..science in
Story" and other popular medical works
which have had wide circulation all over
the globe. In DR.. +. we have a physician
who has had extensive experience in treating
the sick at 4 distance from his Office, and,
moreover, his consultations are free ANY
one of our readers is at liberty to consult him
with the mere outlay Of postage stamp He
is said to have patients at this moment in
Germany, Great Britain, Liberia, Chinese En-
pire, and the West Indies. If patent medi-
cines can now and then hit successfully when
adopted by people who have little knowledge
oftheir own Organizations or of their diseases,
how much more successfully can physician,
after instituting all necessary inquiries pre-.
pare remedies precisely suited to the organi.
zation and diseases of the invalid lust as q
tailor cuts and fits coat to the back. In this
more important matter relating to the health
and life Of people, there is all the difference
which exists between Chatham street cloth
ing and that made by 6rst-class tailor, after
taking the most minute measurements. DR..
FOOte is recognized success in his speciality.

Condition of the Foreign Wheat Market.


The Mark Lane Express of the 10th
says fullcrop ofwheat must not be expected.
The acreage under wheat appears to be about
hve-sevenths Of that of 1876, and the guam
tity of wheat sold in the country for sowing
has been considerably less than usual. The
trade has been Of very limited character the
past week, and the temporary advance in the
price OF wheat has been lost. Millers and
Spectators are alike awaiting the future
course Of business. This return of dullness
isnot surprising, considering the heavy stocks
reported at Liverpool and other large ports,
the figures showing that although the stock
in London has declined almost third since
the end of the year, yet elsewhere, and es-
peoially in Liverpool, the supplies have
equalled the consumption, and there has
been no elimination Of stocks. Still there
appears to be sufficient firmness in wheat at
present prices to prevent a very marked de-
cline, and any great change either way seems
improbable

Chicago Crooked onicials Must Step Down and
Ont.

Chicago is greatly excited over the
result Of the late election, and at meeting
called by leading men Of both parties adopted
resolutions demanding the resignation Of the
the men whom it is claimed, counted them
selves into Office Notwithstanding they were
defeated by popular vote. The meeting was
attended by over x, 600 voters and it was re-
solved that in case the officers refuse to resign,
another meeting shall be called to take fur
thes action. The fact is, honest people have
became aroused, and something will surely
be done to purify Chicago's political atmos-
phcre and reduce the expenses of city gov
ment.

4 Batch Of Weather Signs.

HOW IT Is IN TEXAS.

A correspondent Of the Chicago
Times, writing from Houston, Texas,
says there are two many of all other
classes in Texas but farmers. A Geor-
gian said to me lately: Il have been all
over the state, and have come to the
conclusion that if man wants to farm
he can do better here than anywhere
else in the south, but if he wants to
follow anything else he had better stay
away.
One drawback to the successful pur-
suit of agriculture in Texas is the un-
certainty of the seasons. Some years it
rains almost every day, and during
some other springs and summers it
does not rain at all. It rarely ever hits
exactly right. Old planters, however,
insist that as the state is put under cul-
tlvatlon, the seasons are becoming reg.
ular-that the breaking up and tilling
OF the ground exerts an influence over
winds and clouds, and that they do not
have drouths near so often as fifteen
or twenty years ago. I have heard
Californians say the same thing, assert.
ing that the rainy and dry seasons
known there there rs years ago are not
But when Texan gets rain at the
proper time his crops are simply pro.
dlglous-.one and even two balls of cot
ton, 40 or so bushels of wheat, and so
or 60 bushels of corn to the acre.
One would naturally suppose that a
country which annually sends to Chi
cage, st. Louis, New York, and New
Orleans beef cattle by the ten thousand
would flow with rich milk. The first
thing which struck me at the hotel.
table was adish of Goshen butter, and
when the waiter handed around soon
densed milk" put up in Maine, to go
into my tea, l was dumbfounded
When called for a glass Of milk, the
reply was that they had none except
those little tin canisters. Upon inqui-
ry learned that men owning cattle by
the thousand never have any milk or
butter save that which is bought.
True, there are beginning to be little
dairy farms around the cities and large
towns from which you can obtain linn.
tied SUPPLIES at 20 cents per quart, and
something resembling condensed whey
or pressed lard for butter, at so cents

The singular freak of nature called
''northers' is something hard to be-
come accustomed to. At 10 O'Clock in
the morning it may be warm enough
to feel quite comfortable out of doors
in your shirt-sleeves, and at IL cold
enough. to freeze the ground. The
wind will in one hour jump from due
west to due north and bring down a
polar wave which would pass for hard
winter in Chicago. It comes straight
down from the Rocky Mountains, but

The huge, drastic, grp'ng sickening pills,

Pierce s Pleasant Purgative Pellets, or Sugar
Coated, Concentrated Root and Herbal Juice,

extract from the juices of the most valuable

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.

Winona Republican, Saturday.
An exciting episode befell Mr.. and
Mrs. Schiller this forenoon, a German
couple who reside OH the Wisconsin
side of the river near the ssstone
house, few miles above Winona.
They are the parents of the children
who were drowned near the railroad
bridge, last summer, while crossing
the river in skiff one Sunday morn
ing on their way to church. This
morning Mr.. Schiller and his wife got
into their boat and started for Winona.
They proceeded without any trouble
until they reached the railroad bridge,
when they came to large cake of ice
jammed under the bridge. Behind
them was another cake, stretching
clear across the channel and threaten
ing to close in upon them and crush
their frail skiff to pieces. The emer-
gency demanded prompt action and
they took the only outlet for escape
which lay open to them. That was to
Jump upon the ice jam and drag their
boat after them. By pulling it across
the ice a distance of forty or fifty feet
they were enabled to launch it again in
to the water, but no sooner had they
got into the boat than they discovered
that the strain upon the boat had
opened the seams and it was leaking
freely. Fortunately man was near
by with skiff and to him they called
for help. He got them into his boat
and towed their sinking craft to the
shore. It was half filled with water
when they landed, and would doubtless
have sunk with them but for the ready
relief that saved them.
