Mr.. Diogenes.

This singular man lived in Greece. He
was distinguished for his eccentricities, bad
manners, and bad disposition. 1t was his
chief business to find fault. For example, be
took a lantern one day when the sun was
shining brightly and went out to search for
an honest man, thereby insinuating that such
persons were exceedingly scarce. When
Alexander, distinguished military gentle-
man, paid him a visit, and inquired what he
could do for him, be had the impudence to
tell him to "get out of his sunshine" To
cap the climax of his oddities, he dressed
like beggar and lived in tub He was
sour. Grabbed. crusty old bachelor. We infer
that he had no wife, first, because history
does not mention her; second, because no
woman would take kindly to one of his habits,
dress, or manners, or aspire to become mis-
tress of his mansion. "There was an old
woman who lived in shoe" it is true, but
the woman who would live in tub, and espe.
cially with such companion, has not been
heard from. The msanthropic spirit which
possessed this man was doubtless due to dis
ordered digestion and a billiousness, one of
the prominent symptoms of which is q mo-
rose, taultfnding disposition. The tongue is
heavily coated, giving rise to bad taste, the
appetite is not good, and the patient feels dull,
sleepy, or dizzy, and is apt to be frettul.-
Unfortunately, Mr.. Diogenes lived several
centuries before DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets were invented, a few doses of
which would have relieved him of his ''bile,"
and enabled him to find scores of "honest
men" without the aid of his lantern. Under
their magic influence, combined with that of
the Golden Medical Discovery, to cleanse his
blood, he might have been led to take a more
cheerful view of life, to exchange his tub for
decent habitation, to ''spruce up" in per-
sonal appearance, aud at last have taken wife
to mend his cloths and his manners, both of
which we're in evident need of repairs, and
become the happy sire of little Diogeneses
who would have handed down to PROSPERITY
the name, not of cynic philosopher, but of
a cheerful, healthy, happy, virtuous man!

The standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are SCHENCKs PULMoNIC SYRUP, SCHENCKs
SEA WEED TONIC, and SCHENcK's MANDRAKE
PILLS. and if taken before the lungs are destroyed
II speedy cure is effected.
TO these three medicines DR.. j. A. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaed success In the
treatment of pulmonary diseases
The PumoniC Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws it of by an easy eXpectot
ration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a
slight cough will throw 1t on the patient has rest
and the lungs begin TO heal.
TO enable the pulmonic syrupto do this Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and
liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on the liver,
removing all distractions, relax the gall bladder,
the bile starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stmulant
and Alternative; The alkali OF which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souring. 1t as
Sists the digestion by tOning up the stomach to a
healthy condition, SO that the food and the Pumon-
ic Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs heal
and the patient will surely get well if care is taken
TO prevent fresh cold
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck, either per-
sonally or by letter. eau do so at his principal office
csrner Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia, every
Monday
Schencks medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country. FM9m2
