The standard remedies for all diseases
of the lungs are scHESoK's PULMoNIc SYRUP,
scHENoK's SEA WEED Tonic, and scHENcK's MAN
DRAKE PILLS, and If taken before the lungs are
destroyed they effect speedy cure. To these medi-
cines DR.. J. h. schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his
unrivalled success in the treatment of pulmonary
diseases. The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid
matter in the lungs, nature throws it on by an
easy expectoration, and the patient has relief from
the prostrating cough. The Mandrake Pills must
be freely used to cleanse and stimulate the stom-
ach and liver; they remove all distractions, relax
the gall bladder and start the bile freely, and the
liver is soon relieved. schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
is q gentle stimulant and Alternative; the alkah of
which it is composed mixes With the food and pre-
vents souring. 1t assists the digestion by toning
up the stomach to healthy condition, so that the
food and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good blood,
then the lungs heal, and the patient viii surely
get well if care is taken to avoid fresh cold Full
directions accompany each preparation. All who
wish to consult DIR. Sehenek personally, can do so
at his principal office, corner of Sixth and Arch
Sts., Philadelphia, every Monday.
Letters to the above address, asking advice, an
swered free of charge.
Schenek's Medicines are sold by all druggists.

THE editor of the Hamilton TeIeqraph
and the editor of the Lebanon Star have
set themselves up as censors of Hon Mills
Gardner's Republican principles. They
have scrutenized his Congressional record
and, in their judgment, have decided that
he entertains Republican heresies, and is,
therefore, no more worthy to be called
Republican, and they have determined to
read him out of the party and brand him
as a political hereto. Won't these fellows
have good time Of reading, if they as
sumo the right and the power to read
every Republican out of the pales of the
party who dares to differ with them on
the money question. It's big undertake
ing, and when you get through you will
find, from your standpoint, that you
stand solitary and alone, as monuments
of your own folly. If Mr.. Gardner is to
be read out of the Republican party for
his views on the currency question, nine
tenths of the Republican party will have
to undergo the same dreadful ordeal, fol
more than that number of the Republi
cans in the Sd district are with him or
that question, and they are neither luna
tics nor fools, as has been more than init
mated by the editors above referred to.

TT is said that the banks at Columbus
decline to receive silver coin on deposit,
because they cannot pay it out on checks,
for the reason that it is not legal ten
der. Yes, and that is why it is worth but
90 cents on the dollar. Make it legal
tender, and will it not be equal with gold
in the payment of bank, or any other
debts2 If it is not now worth as much
as gold in the payment of debts it is be-
cause the Government has taken from it
its legal tender value by demonetizing
the old silver dollar. Suppose you take
the legal tender value from our Green
back currency, would you not by that act
deprecate the current value of the green
back, and might not the banks refuse to
take that class of currency on deposit for
the same reason that they refuse to take
silver coin on deposit in the Columbus
banks?
