DIR. ScHENCK'S STANDARD
REMEDIES.

The standard remedies for all diseases OF the
lungs are SCHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, SoHENcKs
SEE WEED Tonic, and SCHENCK s MANDRAKE PILLS
and il taken before the lungs are destroyed, a
speedy cure is efcted.
To these three medicines Dr. J. II. Schenk, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary disease.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matters
in the lungs; nature throws it off by easy expect
Oration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe 8
slight cough will throw it off, the patient has rest
and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the pulmonic syrup to do this
Schenk's Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used tc
cleanse the stomach and liver. SChenck's Man
drake Pills act on the liver, removing all Obstruc-
tiOns, relax the "a bladder, the bile starts freel!
and the liver Is soon received.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimnlan
and Alternative; the alkali OF which it Is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souring, 1t as
slsts the digestion by tOning up the stomach to
healthy condition, so that the food and the Pul
monc Syrup will make good blood then the lung
heal and the patient will surely get well il care
taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenk, either per
sonally or by letter, can do at his principal oic
corner of Sixth and arch Sts, Philadelphia. ever

Foreign War may vet be Avertea

LONDON, April ga Vienna cores
pondent of the Times says the world will
have to resign itself to remain for a short
time longer in its present state of uncer-
tainty as the Russian manifesto is not
likely to be issued before the Cars return
from Klscheneff for which April 29th is
named as the probable date.
The same correspondent repeats the
report that Russia's circular note has been
dispatched by special couriers. He adds,
however, this may be. The note has not
been received here nor has any intention
been given that it is m its way.
The conclusion can safely be drawn from
all this that there is to be a respite of
about week. Russia reasons for this
delay seem rather complex, the chief rea-
son, apparently, is that her preparations
are not quite complete.
LONDON, April 23.-The Times CORES
pondent with the Turkish army states that
10000 men from Widdin have gone to the
seat of war.
Despite the assertion of the Russian
telegraphlc agency that a perfect under
standing has been arrived at between
Russia and Austria in relation to eastern
affairs there can be no manner of doubt
Austria reserves to itself absolute liberty
of action.
The Russian telegraphic agency's tele
gram, dated Sunday evening, says thu
Porte calls on Servia for leave to occupy
its frontiers at Gladora to permit the pas
sage of Russians.
LONDON, April 23.-In the house o
commons this morning it was announced
that telegram from Layord had just beel
received stating that the Russian charg
d affairs had been instructed to suspend
relations with Turkey, also telegram frou
