Every moment of delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends on the iudicious
choice OF remedy. The amount OF testimony in
favor of DR.. schencks Pulmonic sy up, as a cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all hat can be
brought to support the pretentions of any other
medicine. see DR.. Schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates OF many persons OF the highest
responsibility, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incurable by physicians Of
acknowledged ability. Sehenck's Pulmonic Syrup
alone has cured many, as these evidences will
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment Of two other remedies which Dr.schencl
provides for the purpose. These additional RENE
dies are schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills. By the timely use Of these medicines, &C
cording to directions, DR.. schenck certifes tina
most any case OF Consumption may be cured.

paign an effort was made to alarm the
public mind on the subject of war claims,
and make the North believe the success of
the Democratic party would bankrupt the
treasury. He believed it was the desire
of some persons, and perhaps the gentle
man on the Republican side, to keep that
question still before the country as a live
one, on which to 60 again to the country
at the next presidential election, and en-
deavor to excite the people on the subject
of war claims. He did not recolIect a
single bill for the payment of war claims
that was passed in the last congress-; and
there was not member on the Democratic
side who had favored the payment of a
dollar to claimant who had not been
loyal during the late war; and no PROPOSE
tion of the kind was now made. He hoped
the amendment would be adopted. so that
no claim could be hereafter paid that had
not undergone the scrutiny of court,
every member of which was Republican.
and then the public mind could rest in
the belief that these claims of war were
barred by judicial action.
Mr.. Keifer opposed the amendment, in
asmuch as it would allow disloyal as we'll
loyal claimants to present their cases
and to be paid.
Mr.. Springer, Does the gentleman dis
trust the Court of Claims2" Mr.. Keifer,
I'VE propose to stand ourselves by the
loyal claimants of the country, butnow the
proposition is to let in claims of all per-
sons. whether loyal or disloyal.
Mr.. Atkins amendment was rejected, and
the committee proceeded with the sue
ceedlng clauses Of the BILL At 2:30 the
committee had disposed Of all the bill,
except portions especially reserved for
general discussion.
Mr. w bite raised a point of order against
the provision which repeals the test oath.
and prescrlbes the manner of drawing
Jurors. The provision is included in the
paragraph which appropriates money for
the supreme Court aud United States
District and Circuit Courts and reduces
per diem of jurors, but it was held by Mr..
White that it was competent for him tc
raise the point of order inasmuch as the
proposition against which it had beer
raised was seperate proposition, although
not IN separate paragraph.
The Chair overruled the point.
An effort was made to limit the speeches
to 80 minutes, but it failed.
The Chair said there were 96 names il
the list of those desiring to speak.
Mr.. Lewis opened the debate with lega
arguments against the election laws. He
denied that the South was solid for any
illegal or unconstitutional purpose or out
of antagonism to the North. The South.
ern people needed help and sympathy too
much for that.
Mr.: Sanford was the next speaker, and
Mr.. Kelly obtained the floor but yielded
to motion, which was adopted, that the
committee rise,
Mr.. ellison offered a resolution for az
increase of membership on the Mississippi
Leyees from II to l3 Referred.
