lungs are SCHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, SCHENCK's s
SEE WEED Tonic, and SCHENCK MANDRAKE PILLS
and if taken before the lungs are destroyed, a
speedy cure is cffcted.
To these three medicines DR.. j. H 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
grafton, for when the phlegm matter is ripe a
slight cough will throw it eff, 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 to
cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck's Man
drake Pills act the liver removing all obstruc-
tions relax the gall bladder the bile starts freely
| and the liver is soon received.

JOURNALISTIC FANATICISM.
THE GAzETTE's BLACK LETTER

a Matter For Catholic Attention.
To the Editor of the Times: !:

To the Editor of the Times
The Catholic people of Davenport have
reason to feel greatly offended by the bad
treatment of the so-called secular press OF
the city. Such persons as c4n judge with
unprecedented minds must have wondered
at the black letter" blackguardism of the
Gazette for the past week. The pious
editor of that sheet. who has lived in Dav-
EXPORT for so many years, who has known
intimately so many Catholics, who is on
terms of seeming friendship with num-
Der who profess the Catholic faith, makes
his paper the conspicuous means by which
an escaped fraud may blacken aud malign
the characters of his neighbors. Such
advertising as was done this week can not
be justified by the plea of business, neither
may it be justified by the cry of Liberty
of the Press" Conceding to the press the
fullest liberty, and upholding that principle
contend that the only true meaning o
this liberty is the exposition of truth il
a manner not calculated to offend need
llessly. True, it is necessary to lash
hypocrite and expose scoundrel, but GER
tainly these terms can not be predieated o

When the new passenger rates to New
