To those who clamor for paper mon
ey because "greenbacks carried us
through the war and saved the coun-
try" the National Baptist responds :
"As we'll say that the pustules and the
pits carried the patient through the
smallpox. 1t was gold that carried us
through the war; that is to say, it was
the hope and belief that greenbacks
would be paid in gold, which alone
gave them any value. Instead of the
greenbacks saving the Union, it wss
the Union that saved the greenhacks.
Instead of the greenbacks saving the
country, on the other hand, the country
endured the greenbacks for the sake OF
the war and the Union

LoNDoN,Ja 2l.-The Daily telegraph
prints the following under date of Constan
tinople Mr.. Master, agent of
English relief funds, has just arrived here
with train full of refugees FROM Adrian
ople. These unhappy people haye been
in open cattle trucks for three days; many
perished from cold weather. Last night
l5were found dead in the trucks; the suffer
ings of all are described as awful; mothers
are reported in their frenzy to have thrown
away living babies rather than see them
die in their arms. AS the train moved
from Adrianople numbers of people tried
to cling to the outside and framework of
the carriages, and many attempted to ride
on buffers At one station where hundreds
OF people had congregated without food
for two days men threatened Mr.. Master
with violence if bread was not given them.
I esterday there we're $4,000 women aud
children out in the snow at CharloU.
Three trains full are hourly expected to
arrive at Constantinople. but it is not
known where they will find shelter. Snow
is seven inches deep and is still falling;
cold is intense and all that can possibly be
done is being effected by administrators OF
relief fund, but many lives are being sac
ri6ced.

schenck's Pulmonie Syrup, Sea Weed

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 supposition that "Consumption is inCurablen

dies for that disease, and patients afflicted with il

effort to escape from q doom which they supposed
to be unavoidable. It is proved, however. that
CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED, and that 1t AS BEEN
cured i'll q very great number of cases (some of
them apparently desperate ones) by Schenck's Pull
nome Syrup alone; and in other cases by the same
medicine in connection with SChenck's Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills, both, according
| to the requirements of the case.
DR.. Schenck himself who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years, was sup
posed at time to be at the very gate Of death,
his physicians having pronounced his case hopeless,
| and abandoned him to bis fate He 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

unless patients wish their lungs examined, and for
this purpose he is professionally at his principal
