Consumption can be Cured,
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP,
SCHENCK'S SEA WEED TONIC.

SCHENCK'S SEA WEED TONIC,
SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicine that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop cough will
occasion the death of the patient; they lock up the
liver stop the circulation Of the blood hemorrhage
follows and in fact they clog the action of the very
organs that caused the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are tie causes OF
two-thirds the cases Of Consumption. Many per
sons complain OF dull pain in the side, constpa-
t on, coated tongue, pain in the shoulder blade,
feelings OF drowsiness and restlessness, the food
living heavily on the stomach, accompanied with
acidIty and telChing up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from disor-
dered condition of the stomach or torpid liver
Persons 30 affected, If they take or two heavy
colds and if the cough in these cases be suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver ologgeo
remaining torpid and inactive, and almost before
they are aware the lungs are mass of sores, and
liberated, the result of which is death.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expectoran
which does not contain opium or anything calcula
ted to check cough suddenly
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the food
mixes with the gastric juices Of the stomach, aid
digestion, and creates rsvinous appetite.
When the bowels are cOstiye, skin sallow. or th'
symptoms otherwise of bilious tendency ,Schenck
Mandrake Pills are required.
These medicines are prepar only by j. IL

The Danube.

No language can possible describe
the superb scenery Of to-day's journey.
1t far transcends anything ever saw or
conceived Of woodland or Of river
rcenery. It is the part Of the Danube
where the waters break fran the great
basin of Hungary through the noun
tains. When We first left Orsova, the
bills were one green wilderness Of mas
siye and unbroken foliage, and the
views up the valley were vefy rich in
deed. But soon huge ard sbadowy
cliffs began to show themselves among
the woods, and once or twice the
Danube pressed its waters through aw-
full walls Of sheer precipice. At first
thought 1t like the Rhine, only much.
very much superior. because Of the
woods, instead of mi, cradle, tame, for
nal vineyards, bat presently the mag
nificence and almost fearful grandeur of
the scenery drove the Rhine utterly out
Of my thoughts. The woods were
principally deciduous trees with an i'm
mense profusiOn of walnut. and matted
together with wild vines, clematis
and very large white convo' yulus while
between It's banks the river writhed
and boiled over bars of rocks, eff.ctnal-
ly forhidding al navigation. Bat now
the cliff, receded, and there came SOME
miles of iDcessant wood. and beautiful

obtained exquisite glimpses up the
