Every moment of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends the iudicious choice
OF a remedy. The amount of testimony in favor of
DR.. schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for Con-
sumption, far exceeds ali that can re brought to
support the pretensions OF any other medicine See
Dr. Schenck's Almanac, containing zthe certificates
OF many persons of the highest respectabiity, who
have been restored to health, after being pro-
nounced incurable by physicians Of acknowledged
ability Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone has
cured many, as these evidences will show; but the
cure is often promoted by the employment of two
other remedies which DR.. Schenck provides for the
purpose These additional remedies are Schencks
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By The
timely use of these medicines, according to direc

SENATE.

SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Reconsideration
of the silver bill was resumed and Mr..
Bayard spoke in opposition.
Mr.. Bayard argued that the passage of
the bill would entail worse disaster on
American people than they yet had ex-
perienced. A stable currency was abso
lutely necessary to prosperity. He be-
lieved this agitation of the question alone
had prevented small gold coins from
coming into the general circulation and the
huctuation would have ended. He read
from a recent dispatch regarding the sus-
pension of silver coinage in France.
Mr.. Matthews said the French Assem- bly,
voted to restrain coinage on private ac-
count, not on government account.
Mr.. Bayard said he did not SO under.
stand it. He read from tables to show
that the fathers coined no silver dollars
from 1904 to 1885 The effect of the pas
sage of this bill would be the diminutior
by ten per cent. of the revenues upon i'm.
ports, Bonds would come back from
Europe and the price Of them would de-
| cline. Upon what basis was it supposed
that we could resume specie paymen
better with $50,O00,0O0 of silver than will
5000, 100000 of gold. He favored tn,
amendment of the finance committee pro
posing an International conference to fl
the ratio of value between gold and silver
and in his Judgment it should be done a
once. He was willing to see coined freel
dollars Of 4l23 grains provided it SHOULD
not be used to disturb our measure o
value. He was willing to make it lega
tender To a limited extent hut to do other

ing else.
