WHEREVER THAT GREAT MEDICINE called
II. g. FARRELLS CELEBRATER ARABIAN
LlNlMENT, has been introduced, it has performed
the most extraordinary in the annals of medi.
cal hlstory-eYerybody who uses it once becomes
Its warmest friend-they not only keep it always
on hand for the benefit of Its timely in of
emergency, but recommend 1t to all their friends.
1t has been before the public for nearly years.
and yet Is daily developing new virtues many dis
eases have been cured by it. for which the proprie
tor had never recommended it; its magical virtues
spreads through the land with the speed of light
ming, and many, very many poor invalids who sup
posed their days on this earth were fast drawing
close, have been by preserving of this in
valuable Liniment HEALED, and now rejoice in
the blessings OF health, and the enjoyment of this
beautiful world. Read this to believe and not TO
doubt. Inquire of your neighbors whom yOu know
TO have used it, and they will tell you that med
icine ever discovered possesses the half of its
traordinary healing powers. The racking pains OF
rheumatism and neuralgia yield in few minutes
to Its powerfully anodyne properties. THE lame
are made to walk Old sores, which have ren.
dered the subject loahsome thing to behold, are
healed The weak and trembling, from deranged
state of the nerves, by the of this Liniment
joice i'll the recovery of their former health and
strength. Many long standing affections of the
| liver, lungs and kidneys have yielded to its use
after the various remedies had failed. 1t is very
efcacous in curing the diseases of horses and cat

should be brought to the notice of all
friends of peace. An armistice can only
be concluded after an arrangement is
arrived at upon peace preliminaries. The
British cabinet declares that it would only
recognize a peace in conclusion of which
Europe participated. 1t follows that even
in the face of the Porte's signature, the
peace preliminaries are worthless, the
Porte's assent not being binding because
Europe might annul it. This situation is
further aggravated by the declaration of
the British government that it would await
Russia's conditions before demanding a
credit, so that if the present attempt fails
the attitude of England would have rem
dered an armistice and peace impossible
and would plunge the East into fatal COM
plications. We are far from entertaining
the idea that the British cabinet desires
this, although to every sincere and i'm
partial observer the cogency of our argu-
ment is manifest. Europe must Judge and
1t is necessary that in the public conscience
and before the tribunal of history every
body should haye their proper share of re-
| sponsibility
| From all information derived from well
| informed quarters its appears that the
latest advices from London, via Vienna,
are Of rather satisfactory character, and
relations between Russia and England are
now on a better footing The Agence
Russo to-day says the Golois was we'll in
formed when it announced yesterday in a
telegram from Vienna that Austria seemed
entirely reassured as to the protection of
her interests in the approaching negotia-
tions for peace. This consideration has
probably had something to do with the i'm
proveme1t which has taken place in the
situation at London.

schenck's Pul.nonie Syrup, Sea Wee,

Schencks Pulmonie Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These deservedly
celebrated and popular medicines have effected a
revolution in the healing art, and proved the fall
lacy of several maxims which have for many years
obstruCted the progress of medical science, The
false suppositi0n that Consumption is incurable''
deferred physicians from attempting to find rene
dies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it
reconciled themselves to death without making an
effort to escape from doom which they supposed
to be unavoidable. 1t is proved, however. thai
CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED, and that 1t HAS BEEN
cured in O very great number of cases (some OF
them apparently desperate Ones) by Schencks Pull
moniC Syrup alone; and in other by the same
medicine in connection with Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according
| to the requirements of the case.
| Dr. Schenck himself who enjoyed uninterrupted
| good health for more than forty years, was sup
posed at one time to be at the very gate of death
his physicians having pronounced his case hopeless
| and abandoned him to bis fate He 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
| absolutely necessary to personally see DR.. Schemes
unless patients wish their lungs examined, and fol
| this purpose he is professionally at his princtpa
| Office corner Sixth and Arch Sts., Ph1adelphla
every Monday, where all letters for advice must bt
addressed.
Schencks medicines are sold by all Druggists.

BERLIN, Jan. 23,-The semi-official
Provincial Correspondence says it per
ceiyes in the earnest and successful nego-
tiations for an armistlce the probability of
the speedy conclusion OF peace. The
article adds: Complete peace will not be
settled by the two belllgerents alone and
the solution of the questions which have to
be taken into consideration cannot to a
certain extent be ELECTED without a
previous understanding OF the European
powers and their cooperation, but the rela
tious hitherto subsistlDg between the
powers appear to afford good grounds for
trusting that at this decisive moment of
Eastern consultations success will attend
the efforts made to bring about solution,
while fully protecting the interest of gem
eral peace. The pledge OF this seems to
be afforded by the wisdom aud moderation
of the Emperor of Russia, his intimate
union with neighboring poWeEs and the
peaceful disposition recently manifested by
England.
ST. PETERSBURG. ian. 23.-The Jour
