Every moment of delay makes your cure
more hopeless, and much depends on the
judicious choice of remedy. The amount
of testimony in favor of DIR. Schenck's Pul.
monic Syrup, as n cure for Consumption, far
exceeds all that can be brought to support
the pretensiOns Of any other medicine. Sc.
DIR. Schenck's Almanac, containing the GER
tificates of many persons of the highest res.
pectability, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incurable by physi-
clans of Acknowledged ability. Schenck s
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, a
these evidences will show; but the cure Is
often promoted by the employment of two
other remedies which DIR. Schenck provides
for the purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mand.
cines, according to directions, DIR. Schenck
certfies that most any case of Consumption
may be cured.

In order to guard against results utterly
subversive OF health, 1t is absolutely essential
that the grand thoroughfare or avenue OF the
system, the bowels should be re-opened as
speedy as possible when they become OBJ
structed. II they are not, the bile is misdi-
rected into the blood the liver becomes tor
pid; viscid bilious matter gets into the stom-
ach, and produces indigestion; headaches
ensue, and other sysptoms are produced,
which q prolongation Of the exciting cause
only tends - agxravate. The aperient prop
critics Of Hostetter's Stomach Biiters consti-
tute a most useful agent in overcoming con-
striction 6 the bowels, and promoting q reg.
ular nabit of body. 1t Is infinitely superb
or to the drastic cathartics frequently used
for the purpose, since IL does not, like them,
act violently, but produces a natural, painless
effect, which does not impair the tone of the
eyacuatory organs, which IL tnvigorates in
stead OF weakening. The stomach and liver,
also, indeed the entire sy stem, is strengthen
ed and regulated by it.

through information received from two men
who had been there iecturing on temperance,
she had leai ned that her husband, Thomas
Hill, was in the city. Officer Robinson
was put on track of the affair, and he, in q
few minutes, found the gentleman who was
wanted. He went back, and taking Mrs.
Hill with him, returned to the house on OF
towa street, near Second, and knocked at the
door, Hill made his appearance, but was
thunder struck when he saw his wife. He
tried to dodge, but 1t was no use he was cor.
nered.
He came here sometime last summer and
married q widow woman named Mary Chris
tina, representing at the time. that he was q
single man. His wife caused him TO be ar.
rested, and he now lies in custody awaiting
