SPECIAL NTrcEs.
MANY WHO ARE SUFFERING

from the effects Of the warm weather and are de-
bilitated, are advised by physicians to take mod
crate amounts OF whisky two or three times during
the day. In q little while those who adopt this
advice frequently increase the number OF drinks"
and in time become confirmed inebriates. bev-
erage which will not create thirst for intoxicating
liquors, and which is intended especially for the
benefit of eebilitated persons, whether at home or
abroad, is DIR. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic. Con-
tanning the juices of many medicinal herbs, this
preparation does not create an appetite for the
intoxicating cup. The nourishing and life sup
porting properties of many valuable natural pro-
ductions contained in it and well knowuto medical
men have most strengthing influence. A single
bottle Of the Tonic will demonstrate its valuable
qualities For debility arising from sickness, over
exertIon or from any cause whatever, a wineglass-
full OF Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals will
strengthen the stomach and create an appetite for
wholesome food. To all who are about leaving
their homes we desire to say that the excellent ef
fects OF DR.. Schenck's seasonable remedies, Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, are particularly
evident when taken by those who are injuriously
affected by q change Of water and diet No person
should leave home without taking supply Of these
safeguards along. For sale by all druggists.

OF

The Patrons Of Ponds Extract
are cautioned against the uneer-
tain, strengthless decoctions of
fered to the public as being equal
to this far-famed, old established
remedy.
DO not be deceived by similarity
of odor and appearance. These
mutations cannot SR any instance
be compared with Ponds En-
a tract ea
Anls great Curative is always of
steady and uniform character
Ihe extensive facilities for the
manufacture of Ponds Ex-
tract enables the Company TO
= guarantee this, while the imitator
does not produce the same result
twice in succession. q
The true secret of the manufac-
80 ture of Ponds Extract is
too well guarded and too wisely
transmitted to escape
Other interruptions trades
men, desirous of making q larger
...g profit, are in the habit of stating
to their customers who ask for
Ponds Extracf, that they
do not keep it in bottles. hut have
it in bulk.
This Company is mOst sOllcl-
tous to protect their patrons from
this dishon erable trick, resorted
to for the purpose of palming off
on the public cheap dec oction
a1 that can not in any way compare
-saa in purity and quality with this
re- old established remedy.
Some of our friends are in the
habit of taking old Ponds
Extra ct bottles to the druggists
s14 to be refilled. No dealer can
refill a bottle with genuine
Ponds Extract except by
emptying another bottle.
The Ponds Extract Company
will feel indebted 10 any one who
@ furnishes them with the nalne of
any dealer who attempts 10 sell
them any article in bulk as
Ponds Extract. or the same
as Ponds Extract. Those so
doing are violating an Act of Con-
gress passed Aug 14ih. 1876, the
penalty of which is fine and im-
prisonment.
