seldom trouble ourselves to enquire as to
the qualities or merits of the wares ad-
vertised, further than to assure oursel-

miracles in our midst, transforming the

cannot pass il by unnoticed. We know

glossy hair. How is this? 1t evidently

nitrate of silver or other common hair

for the daily Commercial, however, and
he wrote again, successfully this time.

Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup,
SEA WEED Tonic, AND MANDRAKE
PILLs.-These deservedly and popular
medicines have effected revolution in
the healing art, and proved the fallacy
of several maxims which have for many
years obstructed the progress OF medical
science. The false supposition that
Consumption is incurable" deferred
physicians from attempting to find rem
edies for that disease, and patients at.
flicted with it reconciled themselves "a
death without making an effort to escape
from doom which they supposed to be
unavoidable. It is now proved, howev
er, that Consumption can be cured, and
that it has been cured in a very great
number of cases (some of them appar
emily desperate ones) by Schenck',
Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in othel
cases BY the same medicine in connec
tion with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills, one or both, &C
cording to the requirements Of the case
DR.. Schenck himself who enjoyed un
interrupted good health for more thar
forty years, was supposed at one time tt
be at the very gate of death, his ply
sicians having pronounced his case hope
less. and abandoned him to his fate. H,
was cured by the aforesaid medicines
and, since his recovery, many thousand
similarly affected have used DR.
Scheock's preparations with the same re
markable success.
Full directions accompany each, max
ing it not absolutely necessary to person

their lungs examined. and for this pur

THE
NATIONAL DISEASE.
Is 1t Durable +?

NHosE who have suffered from the
i various and complicated forms of
disease assumed by Catarrh. and have
tried many physicians and remedies
without relief or cure, await the answer
to this question with considerable ankle
ty. And we'll they may; for no disease
that can be mentioned is so universally
prevalent and 90 destructive to health az
Catarrh. Bronchitis, Asthma, Coughs.
and serious and frequently fatal affec-
tions of the lungs follow, in many cases
case of simple but neglected Catarrh.
Other sympathetic affections, such aa
deafness, impaired eye-sight and loss of
sense of,smell, may be referred to as
minor but nevertheless serious results of
neglected Catarrh, bad enough in them
selves, but as nothing compared with the
dangerous affections of the throat and
lungs likely to follow.
1T CAN BE CURED.
IT can be cured. There is no doubt
i about it. The immediate relief af.
forded by SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE
FOR CATARRH is but a slight evidence
of what may follow a persistent use OF
this remedy. The hard, incrusted mat
ter that has lodged in the nasal passages
is removed with a few applications; the
liberation and Inflammation subdued
and healed; the entire membranous lin.
ings of the head are cleansed and purif
ed. Constitutionally its action is that o.
powerful purifying agent, destroying
in its course through the system tht
acid poison, the destructive agent in ca
tarrhal disease.
