sohenok'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 fal-
lacy of several maxims which have for many years
obstructed the progress of medical science, The
false suppositien that "Consumption is incurable''
deferred physicians from attempting 10 find rene
dies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it
reconciled themselves to death without making an
effort to escape from a doom which they supposed
to be unavoidable. 1t is proved, however. that
CONSUMPTION CAN CURED, and that it HAS BEEN
cured in very great number of cases (some OF
them apparently desperate ones) by Schenck's Pull
monic syrup alone; and in other by the same
medicine in connection with SchenCk's Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or 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 one time to be at the very gate of death,
his physicians having pronounced his case hopeless,
aud 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

After the morning hour the Senate re
sumed the consideration of the Matthew S
silver resolution, aud Mr.. Jones of Florida
favored it.
Mr.. Jones argued that when the bonds

gal tender and Congress had no power to
exclude it from the coinage of the country.
Silver was the peoples money and its re-
mouetization would be for the trueinterests
of the country.

show that the government had a right to
pay in silver.

sion and after adopting the resolution to

BERLIN, Jan. 21.-If the report that
Suleiman Pasha has reached Drama should
prove correct, he can take his army, be-
lieved to be not less than $4,000 men, to
the sea by short march and thence So
cure transportation to GallipOli or Con-
stantinople His escape through the
Rhodope mountains does not appear in
itself to be Improbable, and it now seems
that the force which the Russians were
able to place across his path west of
Adrianople consisted entirely of cavalry,
which could destroy his communications
