DIR. ScHENcK's STANDARD REMEDIES.


The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are ScHENcK's PULMoNIo SYRUP, SCHENCKS SEA
WEED TONIC, and SCHENcK's MANDRAKE PILLS.
and taken before the lungs 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 Oft by easy expectora
'tion, for when the phlegm matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it of, tine 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.
Sclenck'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 a gentle stimulan
and Alternative; the akali of which it is composed,
mixes with the food and prevents souring 1t assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach to healthy
condition, so that the food and the Pulmonc 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-
sonay or by letter, do at his principal office,
corner of SIXTH and ARCH SITS, Philadelphia,
every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country. maleod&w2msn

MarbIeiZed Iron,

Mr.. EDIToR,-In justice to the manufacturers
of the marbelized iron ware, we ask the public
to suspend judgn ent of the same as thorough
and exhaustive analysis of these goods is now
being made by an eminent chemist of NewYork
Personally we have great faith in the knowl-
edge and experience of the gentlemen maui
featuring the same, and do not believe they
would attempt to foist upon the public any
ware upon which, in their own minds, rested
the shadow of suspicion, that the use thereof
would be injurious to man, woman or child.
This ware, although comparatively new in its
manufacture and introduction in this country,
has been manufactured and formed staple in
the warehouses of the hardware dealer Of Eu.
rope for more than thirty years.
