We have a remedy which not only acts
almost instantly, but will, remove the
largest tumors OF the parts (Plles) BY
absorption, and many who have received
not only benefit, but have been radically
cnred, have been assured (prior to using
this treatmcn) by eminent surgeons that
the only relief they ever could expect in
life. would be by an operation, and re-
moving it or them from the body BY Q

DIR. ScHENcK's STANDARD REMEDIES,

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are ScHENCK's PULMoNIo SYRUP, ScHENCK's SEA
WEED TONIC and ScHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS,
and iftaken before the lungs are destroyed speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines Dr. j.. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrlvalled success in the
treatment Of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws it off by easy expectora-
ton, for when the phlegm matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it off, tine patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schencks Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
Scaencks Mandrake Pills act the liver, removing
all distractions, relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenek's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stmulant
and Alternative; the alka of which it is composed,
mixes with the food and prevents souring 1t assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach to healthy
condition, so that the food and the Pumonic Syrup
will make good blood; then the lungs heal and the
patient will surely get well if care is taken to pre-
vent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DIR. Schenck, either per-
sonaly or by letter, can do at his principal office
corner of SIXTH and ARCH SITS Philadelphia
every Monday.
Schencks medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country. ma1eod&w2msn

How People Ger Hur,.

The Travellers Insurance Company prints in
its annual circular a very suggestive table of
the losses sustained during 1876 in its accident
department. Through all the list there is to be
found constant evidence OF how much careless
ness has to do with what we call accident. For
most striking illustration we see that 429 peo-
pie were hurt with blunt tools, and only 146
with edged tools. When it was evidently nee
essary to be careful there was great deal more
OF care. Again, ten people were drowned BY
bathing or boating and only one was drowned
by shipwreck. Horses and carriages, it ap-
pears, injured 295 people, and railroads 450. Of
the horse accidents, one in AZ was fatal; of the
railroad, one in SO. There were III people
hurt by machinery-two fatally, ratio of one
to SO. Needles, splinters and nails hurt 80
people, and cost the company $2,O45 IS; the
bites of cats and dogs hurt Is people, and cost
$49S.94; and ''unprovoked assaults hurt 40,
and cost s 400 50, suggesting the peril of letting
persons go about unprovoked. Through all the
list Of calamities, which covers so deaths and
2,616 injuries, and payments of $156, O75 on the
former and $12l 118 .03 on the latter, we have to
remember that these are incidents to insured
people, and the very fact that they insure
proves that they are not of the most Careless
class. Take the world as it runs and the eau
tious man is rarity. He really can't be "tak-
en- as he runs" for he walks.-Hartord C0eT-
