The standard remedies for all
diseases of the lungs are Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic, aud Schencl1's Man
drake Pills, and If taken before
the lungs are destroyed they effect
speedy cure. To these medi-
cines DR.. j. III. Schenck. of Phila-
delphia, owes his unriyalled success
in the treatment Of pulmonary
diseases. The Pulmonic Syrup
ripens the morbid matter in the
lungs, nature throws it off by an
easy expectoration, and the patient
has relief from the prostrating
cough. The Mandrake Pills mnst
he freely used 20 cleanse and stimu-
late the stomach aud liver ; they re-
move all Instructions, relax the gall
bladder and start the bile freely,
and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a
gentle stimulant and Alternative ;
the alkali of which IL is composed
mixes with the food and prevents
souring. II assists the digestion
toniDg up the stomach to healthy
condition, so that the food and the
Pulmonic Syrup will make good
blood; then the lungs heal, and
the patient will surely get well II
care is taken to avoid fresh cold.

A Decided Gain for the Country.

The substitution of Judge Dew
ems for Judge Taft as Attorney
General was a decided gain for the
country, of which even Democrats
should not be unmindfnl. The
prompt instructions of the former
10 allow no Federal Interference
with the execution Of the State
process against Wells and his con-
federates is a clear indication that
the present Attorney-General has
correct opinions as to the respec-
tive Jurisdictions of the National
and State governments. Nor does
he appear to have the fear of radi-
cal howlers to hinder the discharge
of his duty. Fortunately Taft has
retired from the scene. More for
tunate still, that Judge Bond is
kept within his proper limits. But
it is about time for Phillips and
Garrison TO come to the front
again.-Boston Post.

No military operations Of any
account has been reported dnring
the week ending Jan. 3lst, although
the Russians are approaching Con-
stantinople and Gallipoli. The
British Mediterranean fleet was or
dercd to the Dardanellcs. hut Just
rs they were entering the straits,
the order was countermanded,
owing principally to disagree
ment among the members of the
British government regarding the
wisdom Of the act, which would
probably have led to hostilities be-
tween the British and Russians ma
tons. The British government has
asked for war grant Of $S0,000,-

grant is allowed, it will be an in

The conditions are not favorably
recei'ed by Britain and Austria,
the principal reason being TIE for
nation of small States, which are
always a souce of dispute, and
the reduction of Turkey to a state
Of vassalage to Russia. On this

A COW with the crunpled horn has been
doing no little damage TO trees and
chasing ladies on different streets in the
city. Friday this COW attacked three
ladies on Shelby street and caused them
to seek safety on a lumber pile, where
the female bovine besieged them until
driven away by a gentleman who CHANGED
to pass along Shelby street. This cow
has enmiiy against young trees, which
she is able to destroy quite easily, and
seems never to weary of the sport. The
said COW has destroyed fifteen or twenty
fine trees on r. A. Parker's lot, corner
of Linden and Vance streets. Moody
King has lost three, and s. B. McFar.
land two trees by this COW which ought
to be dealt with in a manner to cease
her existence. The COW a up and,
catching the tree just above the boxing,
puts her head against the body, thereby
easily pulling it down. Citizens are
anxious to have the ordinance against
Vagrant cows enforced, but cannot ex.
pect any assistance from the police, az
'the efficient Commissioners have never
given any orders to that effect. If such
an ordinace exists the board Of health
might enforce it.
