DR.. scHENcKs PuLnoN1c SYRUP

SEA WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE PtLLs.-These
medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures
of Consumption than any other remedy known to
the American public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which
can be injurious to the human constitution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for Consumpti" n,
probably contain opium, which is o somewhat dan
gerous drug in all cases and if taken freely by con-
sumptive patients, it must do great injury; for its
tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
system, which, OF course, must make cure impos-
sible. Schenck's PulmOnic Syrup is warranted not
TO contain particle OF opium; it is composed OF
powerful but harmless herbs WHICH act on the
lungs liver, stomach and blood, and thus corrects
all morbid secretions and expel ali the diseased
matter from the body These are the only means
by which Consumption can be cured, and as
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic ant
Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which ope
in this way is obvious that they are the only
| genuine cure for Pulmonary Consumption. Eact
bottle of this invaluable medicine is accompanied
| by full directions. DR.. Schenck is professionally
at his principal office, corner sixth and Arch Sts
Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters TO
advice must be addressed.

The Crisis in France,

The crisis in France has had sur
prisipg effect in Germany. The Berlin
press, with the exception Of the Ultramon-
tame journals, have treated the Due de-
Broglie aud his policy as a menace to
Germany, and the old plan of forbidding
the entry into France of foreign journals
rejecting on the government has been re-
vived, In the time Of the late emperor
this system was worked to its EXTREMIST
limits. but it entirely failed in is intent
aud only gave increased importance to
criticisms that in one way or another
reached the reading class of France. how
ever, the policy of Marshal MacMahon
would be equally unacceptable to the vast
body of Frenehmen who believe in a re.
public, and there is evidence of dispo
sition on their part to fight the question ol
parliamentary as against presidential
supremacy.

Repsine Explosion.

There was curious accident at Philadel-
phia on Sunday. A Mr.. Shoemaker,
about to leave the city for the summer,
got watering pot full of benzine with
which to dampen the carpets and furni-
ture and preserve them from moths. In
less than aD hour the gas generated by the
Genzine exploded with fearful concussion
and the room burst into flames. The
servant girl was fatally injured, her clothes
being burned away and her body baked
10 a crisp. and Mrs, Shoemaker was very
dangerously hurt. An examination of the
parlor after the fire had been extinguished
showed something of the force of the ex-
plosion and the intense heat Of the flames.
The window shutters were blown open,
glass smashed into atoms. walls cracked
aud the register knocked to pieces. The
heat was so great that small bronze
figure was actually melted by it.

Peter Cooper Writes Hayes an open letter
and gives him some Graenback
AdYiSa

New YORK, June S,-Peter Cooper, the
greenback candidate for president at the
last election, has just addressed a long
open letter to President Hayes criticizing
the past financial policy Of sovereign gov
ernment, aud also marking out the proper
course, ID his opinion, to be pursued 10 the
future. Mr. Cooper begins his letter with
these words: ALLOW me 10 offer you my
heartfelt thanks for the wise and indie
pendent course you have adopted in the
discharge Of the responsible and difficult
duties that you have been called upon to
perform" Mr., Cooper argues, our ma
tional currency must be receivable for all
purposes throughout the country, and
must be interconvertible with the three
per cent government bonds. Such cur
rency would have been worth more to the
American people then all the gold mines
that have eyer been discovered on the
continent of America. He advises that
silver be withdrawn from circulation and
used in purchasing foreign bonds, the frac
tIonal currency to be retired"
