1t is now an acknowledged fact that
CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED. 1t has been
cured in d very great number of cases
(some of them apparently desperate ones
by Schenck's PulmOnic Syrup alone, and
in others by the same medicine in cOnnec-
tioh with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic aad
Mandrake Pills, one or bosh, according to
the requirements of the case.
The old supposition that Consumption
is incurable," for many years deferred
Physicians from attempting to find a
remedy for that disease, and patients at
hicted with it reConciled themselves to
death without an effort being made to
save them from doam which was COLI
sidered inevitable.
DR.. Schenok 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 med
icines and afterward enjoyed uninter-
rupted 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 thor
ough,treatise on Consumption, Liver COM
plant, Dyspepsia, &C., can be had gratis
Ofany druggist, or of j. III. Schenck Il
Son, Philadelphia. Full directions for
use of Schenck's medicines accompany
each package.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed

Countcrfeiiing in Missouri.

Some eight years ago, Brown Weber
and Graham, wholesale druggists in st.
Louis, were doing the largest business in
the State of Missouri. Among other goods
they sold large quantities of Specs Port
Grape Wine, which is pronounced the
purest wine in the market. In 1868 one
or two members of the firm conceived the
idea of getting up counterfeit OF this
wine by making cheap mixture of fla
vOring ingredients with whiskcy and
water, and called it wine. With this stuff
they filled several thousand bottles, put
on counterteit-label of Speer's wine,and
4 counterfeit of Mr.. Alfred Speer's sigma
ture over the cork, and supplied a ma Or-
ity of the retail druggists throughout
the country west of the Mississippi River,
who purchased it Of b. w. & Gas Speer's
genuine Port Grape Wine. The trick was
not discovered until the consumers re-
turned the stuff to their druggist as not
tit for use. Hearing Of this III 1863, MIR.
Speer ut once went from New Jersey to
st. Louis, employed detectives, and traced
the headquarters for dealing in this imi-
tation Of his wine to the place Of Brown,
Weber & Graham. He commenced suit
for $40, 900 damages i'll the United Stat
Court. Such deception on the part of
this house caused them to loose their bust
ness, and before the trial came off the
firm failed, and became worthless. This
stuff is now out of existence, having spoil
ed and burst the bottles, so that none is
now TO be found in the market. Tue large
yield from the New Jersey vineyards the
last few years has enabled Mr.. Speer to
reduce the price of his wine. His New
Jersey Port is far superior TO any hereto
fore put iii the market; none of which is
bottled until four years old. 1t is pre-
scribed by physicians as the best and most
reliable wine to be had. Most Druggists
throughout the country sell Speer's Port
Grape Wine.-Independent.

BLEMIsHEs UPON THE FEMININE CoUNTE-
NANCE, if of a cOmpleXional nature, speed
ily vanish when GLENN's SULPHUR SOAP
is used to obliterate them. Pimples, blotch-
es, roughness, redness and tan are inva-
clarifying agent. Eruptive ailments, sores
cuts, bruises, scalds, and other affections
and injuries of the cuticle are likewise re-
moved by it. SULPHUR BATHS have long
been renowned as the best remedy for
skin diseases, rheumatism and gout.
GLENN's SULPHUR SoAPis in every respect
as efficacious, and far cheaper. BY open
ing the pores, and promoting vigorous
superficial circulation, this excellen; ar
ticle contributes to the health of the en-
tire system as we'll as to that of the cuti-
Gle. Since its introduction to public no
tice it has repeatedly been commended by
the medical profession and press, and few
external specifics have won such 'golden
opinions" among all classes. 1t prevents
obnoxious diseases as well as remedies
them, and disinfects clothing and linen
impreghated with disease. Dandruff is
entirely eradicated by it, and its use is, on
that account, greatly TO be desiderated by
persons whose hair is thinning out in
consequence of dryness Of the scalp.
Those who have used ointments and Ii
ouids without avail for the cure of erup-
tons of All obstinate character, will find,
if they try it, that GLENN's SULPHUR Soar
removes scorbutic complaints irremedia-
Bile by less efficacious means, and prevents
the recurrence Of such disorders.
