STATE SILVER MEETING JAHU.
AIRY 15.
From the Quincy Herald.
Let the Voice Of the People be Heard !

The deep interest felt by the people of
Illinois IN the passage of the Silver Bill,
has manifested itself in numerous local
meetings throughout the State, whereat
strong resolutions have been passed in
favor of remonetization, and much enthu-
sIasm in the cause has been exhibited
Some time since the proposition was made
that a State meeting OF the advocates of
the silver dollar should be held at the cap
ital, and it was favorably received on all
sides, the Sth of the present month being
named by some papers as the day on
which it might be held That date, how
ever, is considered too early to make any
arrangements for the meeting and it is now
proposed to hold it on the 18th INST.
The Herald seconds the proposition and
suggests toi its contemporaries throughout
the State who are favorable to the restora-
ton of the old dollar, to announce the pro-
posed meeting and see that arrangements
are made for the appointment of delegates
Let there be good attendance, and a
general representation by leading men
from the different counties. The bill will
probably be under discussion in the senate
at the time, and the voice of Illinois in its
favor will have wholesome influence up
on those senators who may be yet hesita-
ting as to their vote.
THE ARGUS fully endorses the above
proposition. We trust the friends of the
Silver Bill will take immediate action, and
that this county will be properly repre-
| septed

schenck's Pulmonie Syrup, Sea Weed

TONIC, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These deservedly
celebrated and popular medicines have effected
revolution in the healing art, and proved the fall
lacy of several maxims which have for many years
obstructed the progress of medical science, The
false suppositian that Consumption is incurable"
deferred physicians from attempting to find RENE
dies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it
reconciled themselves to death without making an
effort to escape from doom which they supposed
to be unavoidable. 1t is now proved, however that
CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED, and that 1t HAS BEEN
cured in very great number of cases (some of
them apparently desperate ones) by Schenck's Pul
monic Syrup alone; and in other cases by the same
medicine in connection with Schencks Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both according
Ito the requirements of the case.
DIR. Schenck himself who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years, was sup
posed at one time TO be at the very gate OF death,
his physicians having pronounced his case hopeless
and abandoned him to Lis fate He was cured by
the aforesaid medicines, and since his recovery,
many thousands similarly affected have used DR..
SchenCk's preparations with the same remarkable
success.
Full directions accompany each, making it not
absolutely necessary to personally see DIR. Schenck
unless patients wish their lungs examined, and for
this purpose he is professionally at his principal
office, corner Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia
every Monday, where all letters for advice must be
addressed.
