ScHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, SEA WEED TONIC,
AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These deservedIy celebra-
ted and popular medicines have effected revolution
in the healing art and proved the fallacy OF several
maxims which have for many years INSTRUCTED the
progress of medical science. The false suppostion
that Consumption is ncurabe' deferred physicians
from attempting to find remedies for that disease,
and patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to
death without making effort to escape from a
doom which they supposed to be unavoidable 1t is
now proved, however, that Consumption can be
cured, and that it has been cured in very great
number of cases (somes of them apparently desper-
other cases by the medicine in connection witt
Schencks Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one
or both, according to the requirements of the case
DR. Schenck himself who enjoyed uninterrupted
goodihealth for than forty years, supposed
at one time to be at the very gate of DEATH his ply
sicians having pronounced his case hopeless, and
abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the
aforesaid medicines, and, since his recovery, many
thousands similarly affected have used DR.. Schenck's
preparations with the same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, making it not alb
solutely necessary TO personally see Dr. Schenck
less patients wish theirlungs examined, and for this
purpose he is professionally at his principal office,

Monday, where all letters for advice must be address,

NEW MASSACHUSETTS. Oliver Ditson & Co.
have just issued Seems of the Dance" and
l. c. Stockbridge has it for sale. The special
reason for the issue of this brilliant volume
was the great success of similar work, "The
Gems of Strauss" That, of course, being
published soon after the appearance of Strauss
at the Jubilee" owed something of its repu.
tation to the renown of the great composer.
Yet much was owing to the brightness of the
contents. Seems of the Dance are bright
enough for any one. They are divided into
various dance titles, as waltzes, galops,
polkas, quadrles, etc., of which about % are
new ones by the two Stranss-es, and the rest
are by Gung'l, Zikoff, Lamothe, Faust, and
others. In all there are about % authors,
whose compositions fill 232 large pages.
Mr.. Stockbridge has just issued a descriptive
catalogue of new music, which will be found
very convenient in making selections. He has
received the Folio for January.
Among Mr.. Stockbridge's recent publications
are Leisure Hours collection of easy and
progressive pieces by different authors; "Har-
vest Hymn arranged by Sep. Winner; a
Budget of Choice Songs, by various popular
authors; a collection of well known airs, ar
ranged by Sep. Winner and other authors, for
the violin and piano; popular vocal duets by
such authors as Parry, Glover, Verdi and
Bellini; four hand arrangements of popular
instrumental pieces by celebrated authors.

The New Coffee House.

One who has searched the eating houses of
Portland for four years for good cup of cof-
fee, and has Invariably been disappointed; who
at the opening Of new house or change of
partnership of an old one has hoped there
might be change in the coffee, and has al
ways found none, says that the new coffee
house furnishes the beverage for which he long
has sought. The coffee is really excellent, and
if that furnished hereafter be as good as the
fragrant decoction Of the Arabian berry served
yesterday the undertaKers of the enterprise
have no reason to apprehend failure.
The coffee house was formally opened yes
terday, the Womens Temperance Society ex-
tending general invitation to the public. The
rooms on Temple street was neatly fitted up,
flowers and pictures lending attraction. In a
word, everything looked ''nice" and that much
abused adjective was decidedly appropriate to
the room and its fittings. The provision made
was special, but the regular bill will fall little
behind it. Those who have been accustomed
in Portland restaurants to find no napkins and
on asking for them to have very dirty ones
brought rejoiced yesterday at the snowy SER
ciettes.
All who visited the place were very cordial
in the wish of happy New Year to the enter
prise.
