CONSUMPT1VES TAKE NOTICE
Every moment of delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious
choice of q remedy. The amount OF testimony In
favor OF DR.. scheneks Pulmonic sy up, as cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all hat can be
brought to support the pretentions of any other
medicine. see DR.. schenckNs Almanac, containing
the certificates Of many persons of the highest
respectability, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incurable by physicians Of
acknowledged ability. Schencks 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.schenck
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 certines tina,
most any case of Consumption may be cured.
DR.. schenck is professionally at his principal
office, corner Sixth and Arch SITS Philadelphia
every Monday, where oil letters for advice must be
addressed.

XLVI CONGRESS.
HOUSE.

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-Mr. Warner
submitted an amendment providing that
gold and silver bullion which shall become
the property of the government by the
return of certificates to the Treasury in
payment Of dues thereto, shall be coined
and paid out the same as other money. He
made an argument in support OF his sub
stitute and quoted in favor of his argu-
ment from the writings and speeches of
Hamilton, Jefferson and Webster. He
spoke of the demonetiZation of silver as
telopious act on the part OF the monied
classes and argued that Congress had no
right to pass that legislation. He as
serted that not only was President Grant
not aware at the time of his signing the
bill which demonetiZed silver of the effect
of that act, but that two years subsequent.
| ly neither the President nor his Cabinet
were aware of it, This was proved by
the special message of Jan. lS, 1875, 10
which the President spoke uf the time it
would take to coin the silver necessary for
/ the resumption of specie payments. At
the time of the decentralization Of silver.
that act, he said, affected the country very
little, but when specie payment was re-
sumed then it's effect was telt for the
metallic valuation of the currency was
Ireduced from 81, 100000. 900 to $400, ,000,.
1000.
Mr.. Fort reminded Mr.. Warner thai
1.-THE ground had been all travelled oveI
and silver had been remonetized two
Iyears ago.
/ Mr.. Warner replied that the Bland bill
while remonetizing silver, did not re
establish the bi-metalic standard. and i
was for that he was contending. Th'
legal tender paper currency was as mucl
money as if it were gold or silver coin
He asserted that in England gold had ap
preciated in its purchasing power betweel
f fifteen and twenty per cent. coin within
! the last fifteen months and the question
was whether the standard which was thu
constantly changing should be adhered to
