Et is now an acknowledged fact that CoNsUMP-
TIoN CAN BE CURED. 1t hae been cured in very
great number of cases (some of them apparently
desperate ones) by Seheneks Pulmonic Syrup alone
and in others 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.
The old suppostion that "Consumption is incura-
ble," for many years deferred Physicians from
attempting to find a remedy for that disease and
patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to
death without an effort being made to save them
from doom which was considered inevitable
DR.. Schenck himself was supposed at one time to
be at the very gate of death. his Physicians having
pronounced his case hopeless and abandoned him to
his fate: he was cured by the aforesaid medicines
and afterwards enjoyed uninterrupted good health
for more than forty years. Thousands of people
have used Dr. Schenck's preparations with the same
remarkable success.
Schenck's Almanac, containing thorough treatise
on Consumption, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, &C.,
can be had gratis of any druggist, or of j. H.
Schenck & Son. Philadelphia. Full directions for
the use of Schenck's medicines accompany each
package
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Wood Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills are for sale by all druggists.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 3.-Judge Gresham
of the United States District Court, delivered
his opinion today, construing section 519S of
the Revised Statutes. He holds that where a
national bank takes, receives or reserves usuri-
GUS interest out of the proceeds of note given
for loan, or charges usurious interest which is
included in the note, the maker or borrower
may at any time in a suit by the bank upon the
note plead usury, and if so pleading the bank
forfeits the entire amount of interest so reserv-
ed or included in the note, but if the usury
Is paid by the maker or borrower out of his
pocket, he cannot recoup twice the amount of
interest paid or recover twice the amount in an
action of debt unless the plea n recoupment is
filed, or the action of debt is brought within
two years after such payment is made.
