The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are SCHENCk's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SCHENCK's MAN
DRAKE PILLS and If taken before the lungs are des-
troyed, speedy cure is effected
To these three medicines DR.. J. H Schenck, OF
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The PulmonIc Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in the lungs; nature throws it off by easy expect
oration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe
slight cough will throw it off, the patient has rest
and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the pulmonc syrup to do tins, ,Schenck'f
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Toxic
must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and
liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on the liver
removing all distractions, relax the gall bladder
the bile starts freely and the liver relieved
Sehencks Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimuant
and Alternative; the alkai of which it is composed
mixes with the food and reve nts souring i
assists the digestion by toning up the stomach TO
healthy condition, so that the food and the Pul
ronic Syrup will make good blood then the lung
heal, and the patient will surely get well If care ii
taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wsn to consult DR. Schenck, either per
sonally or by letter, can do at his prIncipa
Office corner Of Sixth and Arch SITS Philadelphia
every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggist
throughout the country.

Tilton's Statement.

CHICAGO, April 19.-Theodore Titon,
who has been Iecturing in small Iowa towns
since the revival of the scandal. has re-,
fused to be interviewed on the matter, but
yesterday he made the statement to a per
sonal friend, which has been given to the
press. He declares Mrs Tilton card sur
prised him as much as the public, that he
had no agency in its publication, prepara-
tion, or origination: no overtures had been
made by either party for reunion; he did
not know her future plans, and had not
been in Brooklyn for many months, and
had vacated his New York apartments; he
should sail for Europe at the close of his
lecture season, and spend all the time pos
slbe with his daughters in Germany; the
story that Mrs. Tilton would accom- pany
him was fabrication.
