ScHENoK's PULMoS1c SYRUr, SEA WEED Tonic,
AND MANDRAKE PILLs-These deservedly celebra-
ted and popular medicines have effected o revolu-
tion in the healing art and proved the fallacy Of
several maxims which have for many years OBJ
structed the progress of medical science. The
false supposition that Consumption Is incurable"
deferred hysicians from attempting to find reme-
dies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it
reconciled themselves to death without making an
effort to escape from doom which they supposed
to be unavoidable. 1t is now proved however, that
Consumption be cured and that it has been cured
in very great number of cases tsome OF them APP
parently desperate ones) by Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup alone; and in other by the same medi-
cine in connection with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according to the
requirements of the case.
DR.. Schenck himself who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years. was sup
posed at time to be at the very gate of death,
his physicians having pronounced his case hope
less. and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured
by the aforesaid medicines. and since his recovery
many thousands similarly affected have used DIR.
Schencks preparations with the same remarkable
success.
Full directions accompany each, making ii not
absolutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck
unless patients wish their lungs examined. and for
this purpose he is professionally at his principal
office, Corner Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia,
every Monday where all letters for advice must be
addressed. Schencks medicines sold by all
druggists.

From John Flagg, ESQ.,. OF Bennington. N. II.
"Three years since was very much reduced
with dreadful cough, which resulted in Bron-

difficult to speak in an audible voice To this
was added severe night sweats and was fear
full of going into decline. After recourse to
various remedies, to no purpose, made use of
bottles of which fully restored me to health.
Since that time have had several severe attacks
of cough, but the BALsAM has always removed
them. l always keep it by me, and should not
know how to do without it," Sold by all drug

have chicken which appears to have
the rheumatism, or some other ailment of
that nature. About two months ago his
legs became stiff, and doubled up so that he
could not walk, and for several weeks he
was almost entirely helpless. lie seemed
to be stiff in his knees, and his elbows were
so doubled under that he could not manage
them. I caught him q few times and bathed
his legs with some of Jackson's Wonderful
Oil, and he has recently gotso that he can
use them a little, but as yet his toes arc
doubled under and he has hard work to get
around. He acts like he had the rheuma-
tism, but don't know that chickens ever
become afflicted with that disease. If you
know what .ails him, and can prescribe
cure, i'should be glad to hear, from you
through the columns Of youryaluable paper.

AN IMMENSE CROP.

Oliver Dalrymple has five steam threshers
now Mt work on his 1900 acre farm at Cas-
selton, each one threshing an average of
1000 bushels per day. The grain Is hauled
directly to the cars as fast as threshed, and
shipped to New Y York, via Duluth and the
lakes. He loads and forwards Is cars per
day. At $50 bushels TO the car, the crop on
this one place will make 257 car loads. The
yield, from what has been threshed so far, is
estimated at 10000 bushes-an average of
23A bushels per acre. Add to this the $500
acres on tie Grandin farm, in which Mr..
Dalrymple has a half interest. and which
will auerage equally well, the two farms will
produce lGS,750 bushels of wheat this year.
