DIR. ScHENcK's STANDARD REMEDIES.

The standard remedies for all diseases Of the lungs
are SCHENcK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SCHENCK's SEA
WEED TONIC, and ScHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS.
and iftaken before the lungs are destroyed speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. j. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment Of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs nature throws it off by easy expectora-
ton, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pumonic Syrup to do this, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver
Scienck's Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing
all DISTINCTIONS relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stmulant
and Alternative; the alkali of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents sourng. 1t assists
the digestion by tonng up the stomach to healthy
condition, so that the food and the Pumonic Syrup
will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the
patient will surely get well If is taken to pre-
vent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck, either per-
sonaly or by letter, do at his principal office
| corner of SIXTH and ARCH STs., PHILADELPHIA
| every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
| throughout the country. Acknowledgement

DEATH FROM CHOLERA.
The BPrk Edmund Phinney Left With
Neither Officers nor Grew.

Yesterday noou j. S. Winslow & Go. of this
city, received cable despatch from their Liv-
erpool correspondents, Messrs. G. T. Russell &
Co., announcing that the captain, mates and
entire crew of the bark Edmund Phnney had
died of cholera at Akyab, East India, and that
the bark is now in charge of the Consul. The
Edmund Phinney is owned by j. S. Wnslow
q Co. and others OF this city and is 500 tons
burden. She left Liverpool early last fall in
charge of FL. c. Small of this city captain, and
Enoch Dyer of Cape Elizabeth, first mate. She
shipped crew of eight men in Liverpool and
sailed for Bombay with coal. After discharg-
ing she proceeded to Akyah in the Bay of
Bengal to load rice for Falmouth, England.
She probably had loaded and cleared from
Akyab but was obliged to put back.
The telegram further stated that a despatch
had been sent to India for further particulars.
Capt. Small was so years of age and leaves a
daughter. His wife died about year ago. He
has been ship-master for nearly thirty years.
he went out in the Samuel e. Spring, and in
Liverpool changed vessels with Capt. Bacon.
Capt. Small was a Mason, member of a
Lodge in New York city, and leaves large
to his profession and man of great nerve and
spirit His friends remember with admiration
an occasion some twenty-five years ago. when
his crew mutined. Coming on deck at the
sound of disturbance, he found himself in
front Of the house with semi circle of mutineers
around him armed with knives, his two mates
desperately wounded, and one of them thrown
overheard. He sprang upon the house. though
higher than his head, ran across to the cabin,
secured a Ratchet and stretched them right and
lett hove his vessel to and picked up his mate,
then laid the ringleaders in irons, and after
wards had them convicted and punished His
personal bravery was accompanied by the
warmest of hearts and kindest sympathy for
others, as was exhibited when his mate a
Portland boy, dying of yellow fever in Havana,
begged on his death bed not to be left there to
be buried in the hospital trenches at personal
risk, on account of the stringent regulations
against it, and securing the aid of other Ameli-
can captains, having tie body embalmed, he
got it off to his ship in the night and brought it
home for a Christian burial.
He was accompanied by his sister Miss
Louisa A. Small, formerly teacher in the North
School in this city, but more recently teacher
in East Boston. 1t is feared that she has met
the same fate as her brother, although the de-
spatch does not mention her name. Her friends
are very anxious in regard to her condition.
Capt. James Keazer of this city is now at
Akyab, where the cholera is raging to fearful
extent

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Public Library has been closed the past
few weeks to allow many needed improve
ments to be made. When it is again opened
the patrons of it will hardly recognize the
rooms, so much are they being improved The
room formerly used for distributing the books
is now completely filed with alcoves and the
desk of the librarian ard assistant is in the
reading room formerly. The old school COM
mittee room is to be used for reading ROOM
No one will be allowed in the room where the
books are kept except thesattendants. The cat
alogGes will be kept in the outer room and
the books must be selected from them. This
plan is made necessary owing to the large
number of books which have been stolen of
late. When the present system of challenging
is completed, each book will bear the number
of the alcove, the shelf, the tier, and its num-
Der in the tier, so that it can be found in Sec
ond and when returned can be replaced as
quickly. This will be great improvement
over the old system, which caused both to
patrons and attendants an endless amount OF
trouble. The improvements are going on I'M
der the direction of Mr.. Watson, the popular
librarian.
