that the benefit derived thereirom will

Every moment OF delay makes your
cure more hopeless, and much depends on
the iudicious choice OF remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor oil DR..
schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for
Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support the pretensions I any
other medicine. See DR.. Schenck's Alma
nae, containing the certificates OF many
persons of the highest responsibility VINO
have been restored To health, after being
pronounced incurabIe by physicians oil
acknowledged ability. schencks Pui-
monte Syrup alone has cured many, as
these evidences will show; but the cure Is
often promoted by the employment OF TWO
other remedies which Dr. schenck pro,
yides for the purpose. These additional
remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills. BY the timely use oil
these me licineS, accordinS to directions,
pr Schnnck certifies that most any case OF
CONSUMPTION may be cured.
DIR. Schenck is professionally at his prin-
cipal office, Corner sixth and Arch Sts,

Business PRosPERITY.-There is Il
rood deal of truth rs well as sarcasm in
the remark which defines solitude as q
store which does not advertise. 1t would
seem to be the height of folly to expect
people to buy what they do not know
you have for sale, yet hundreds Of mer-
chants are acting on this principle, to the
detriment of their own interests and to
their own disappointment, besides assist
ing to lniure all others engaged int trade by
continually whining of "hard times, dull
times" and nothing doing. Such men
get in stock of goods, perhaps early or
late, when 1t is hardly probable that it
would be generally known; they make
rs great an ado in marking and handling
them in the store as hen does over a
brood of goslins; then they are quietly
laid away upon the shelves, where they
will remain unless some one accidentally
learns that they are there, which is not
likely in large city. We know
OF establishments IN this city which
never have .'dull tines" the coun-
tiers are always lined with customers,
and on pleasant days we have seen the
stores so crowded, that there was scarcely
standing room. 1t would pay any mer-
chant we'll to study the cause OF this, and
apply his knowledge to his own busi-
ness. There is one very evident cause
for this activity in dull times as well as
in times OF general prosperity, and that
cause is liberal advertising" or, in
other words, informing the public as to
what YOU have for sale. "Advertise"
and the world know you, but fail to
advertise" and you will be unknown ID
your next doc. neighbor.
