scHENcK.s SEA WEED TONIC.

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the lethargy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food, and
frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, par
cularly those suffering from the effects OF debili
ting diseases In order to keep natural health
full activity of the system must resort to artlfi-
cial means. For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic is very efectual A few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated body
For dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be
permanently cured by the drugs which are gener-
ally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed
Tonic in its nature is totally different from such
drugs 1t contains no corrosive minerals acids /;
in fact it assists the regular operations OF nature,
and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its no
ture much resembles the gastric juice that it s
almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice
is the natural solvent which, in healthy condition
of the body causes the food to be digested; and
when this juice is not excreted in sufficient quant
ties, indigeston with all its distressing symptoms
follow. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty
of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient.

The Heat Still Fearful.


ST LOUIS. July 19.-The high hopes
INDUCED in last night by the pretty
rapid sinking of the mercury, that the
heated term was about TO break up, were
blasted this morning when the sun arose
almost as blisteringly hot as ever, and
since 9 o'clock the mercury has shown
about one-haif degree lower temperature
than yesterday. Previous to that time the
difference was about two and half de-
Rrees. There is a considerable breeze,
however. but it is more cloudy and the at
mosphere is closer and more sultry. The
main difference is rather in the lesser
amount of reflected heat. caused by clouds
somewhat obscuring the sun at times than a
materially lower temperature, as a stand
ard spirit thermometer on the shady side
of Fourth street marked at o'clock $50
degrees, o'clock 874 degrees, 10 o'clock
903 degrees, IL o'clock 923 degrees.
At the dispensary this morning FIVE
cases were treated up to II o'clock, all of
them genuine un-strokes, none were
severe yielding pretty readily to treatment
The total cases yesterday not previously
reported are Bridget Durken, Mary
Courey, Mary O'Neil, Susan Brown,
Adolph Nieman, and Louise Seherer; the
total number of prostrations of which any
knowledge could be obtained will not ex-
ceed ffty-fve, the larger proportion of
which were slight.
But, one additional case of sun stroke
has been taken to the dispensary siuce IL
o'clock, making in all to this time; it
was Ellen McCabe, laundress. overcome
while at work, the case yielded readily to
treatment.
The thermometer marked 81 at noon,
one degree less than yesterday; 955 at 10 A.
NJ, p degrees less than yesterday; the 10
dioations are the intensity Of the heat has
expended itself, and there will be a grad
ual decrease from this time on.
