past Atty years, been visited by peAnons from a

THE AMOUNT OF TESTIMONY in IA
vor Of Dr. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for
Consumption, far exceeds all that can be brought to
support the pretensions of any other medicine See
DR.. Schenck's Almanac, which can be had of any
Druggist free of charge, containing the certificates of
many persons of the highest responsibility, who have
been restored to health, after being pronounced in
durable by physicians of acknowledged ability.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup aloue as cured many,
as these evidences will show; bit cure is often
promoted by the employment of two other remedies
which Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose. These
additional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills. By the timely use of these
medicines, according to directions Dr. Schenck GER
tiles that most any case of Consumption may be
cured. Every moment of delay makes your cure
more difficult, and all depends on the judicious
choice of remedy. Sehenck's Mandrake Pills are an
agreeable and safe cure for Consumption caused by
biliousness, and also for sallow complexion and
coated tongue. There is no better remedy for dis
ordered stomach and all the evils resulting there
FROM DIR. Schenck is professionally at his principal
Office, corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia,

Another crowded house attended the
lecture given last evening by Mrs. Wool
son upon Queen Annes Reign. The
lecture proved intensely interesting from
first to last. After giving brief outline of
Queen Anne and the contemporaneous reigns
of Charles XII of Sweden and Peter the Great
of Russia, the lecturer gave resume of the
lives and works of the novelsts, The reign OF
Anne as whole can be distinguished by writ
ers not deep and original, but elegant and rlch
in style. But Anne, unlike Elizabeth, de-
serves no credit for this. She was under the
more powerful wills of two female favorites,
the Duchess of Marlborough and Abigail Hill
The Queen ruled the Duke of Marlborough and
the Duchess of Marlborough ruled the Queen
All the great literature of the time OF queen
Aune must be classed under the succeeding
reigns of George I. and IL Addison wrote, az
the deferential solicitation of the ministers,
poem in celebration of the Duke of Marloor-
rough's victories, called "The Campaign" 1t
took London by storm and was the stepping
stone for Addison to fame. he was advanced
from position to position until he came TO be,
in1717, one of his Majesty's Secretaries OF
State Dick Steele, after publishing two or
three comedies. conceived the idea of publish
ing breakfast-table paper, containing essays
on passing events. The paper was the Tattler
and Addison carried out the idea with the
Spectator. The tragedy of Cato is scarcely
remembered. His unhappy marriage and dis
like of the formality of Holland House made
him take to the wine-cup. He died in middle
life. Addison was given pension by William
10 order to travel abroad; but on the latter's
death he returned to England. Here he met
his old school-fellow, Dick Steele. The lee:
turer referred to the christian Hero" OF
Steele, which set London in a laugh. Steele
led a bosterous and tumultuous life. He was
always poor and in debt. Swift, Bunyan and
Defoe stand as the best representatives of the
pure Saxon. Swift's religion was not of any
particular creed. His Tale of the Tub"
barred his further progress. Mrs Woolson
thought that Pope was writer whose position
has never been settled. The question is, was
Pope poet? There are two schools-the real
and the ideal-the former declaring Pope is
not poet, being too real and philosophic; the
latter asserting that he is, and that poetry can
not be confined to ideality. The lecture closed
with brief references to the works of the early
novelIsts.
