VIENNA, June l2.-TeIegrams from
Asia seem to indicate there is no longer
that feeling of despondency which was so
marked In late accounts from Turkish
sources, and that battle will be risked in
Aravio Valley. The only question is
whether the Russians will attack the Turks
10 the position they have chosen or push
forward the column coming from Olti
toward Ezeroum and thus turn the Turkish
Hank. The flying columns which Moukhtar
Pasha has sent against the Russians at
Oltl shows the Turkish are aware of this
danger, but it is to be seen whether they
can obvIate it and spare sufficient force
to check eventual advance of the Russians
over the pass of Kiretshli Dagh leading
direct from Olti to head of valley of
western Euphrates and Ezeroum; rumors
may be treated as utterly groundless.

SEA WEED TONIC AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These
medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures
OF Consumption than any other remedy known to
the American public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which
can be injurious to the human constitution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for Consumption,
probably contain opium, which is a somewhat dan
gerous drug in all cases. and if taken freely by
sumptive patients, it must do great injury; for its
tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
system, which, OF course, must make cure impos-
sible. Sehenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not
to contain particle Of opium; it is composed OF
powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the
lungs liver, stomach and blood, and thus corrects
all morbid secretions, and expel all the diseased
matter from the body These are the only means
by; which Consumption can be cured, and al
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic ant
Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which ope
rate in this way is obvious that they the only
genuine cure for Pulmonary Consumption. Eaef

by full directions. DR.. Schenck is PROFESSIONAL.
