ble," for many years deferred Physicians from
attempting to find remedy for that disease, and
patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to
death without an effort being made to save them
from a doom which was considered inevitable.
DR.. Schenck himself was supposed at one time to
be at the very gate of death, his Physicians having
pronounced his case hopeless and abandoned him to
his fate: he was cured by the aforesaid medicines
and afterwards enjoyed uninterrupted good health
for more than forty years. Thousands Of people

remarkable success.

The parent of insomnia or wakefulness is in nine

The brain and stomach sympathize, One Of the
prominent symptoms of weak state of the gastric
organs is disturbance of the great entrepot,
the brain. Invigorate the stomach, and you
restore equilibrium to the great centre. most
reliable medicine for the purpose is Hostetters

may tor time exert a soporifc influence upon the
brain soon cease to act, and invariably injure the

BAIsooNs AND ScIENcE.-In CONVEX
satioh with 81. Louis newspaper re-
porter few days ago, Prof Wise, the
aronaut, expressed his views Of the
possibilities OF ballooniilg. a. follows:
Balloons may be made OF boiler iron
if built large enough. You know it is
the battle of cubes and surfaces.
When the surface is doubled the cube
is qnadrupled, and a balloon ( 400
feet diameter Of copper boiler plate
will lift up man-of war ship and sail
away with it. With such a balloon
stocked with bombs and other NUM-
tons of war, think what consterna-
ton could bo carried into besieged
camp. But the mission of the balloon
will be more for scientific explorations.
The overshadowing science called me.
teorology will yet provide its defini.
ton in the use OF the balloon.
