DIR. SCHENCK'S
MANDRAKE PILLS

Do not produce sickness at the stomach. nausea or
Grping. On the contrary. they are SO mild and
agreeable IN their action that a person suffering
with sick headache. sour stomach. or pam in the
bowels. is speedily relieved OF these distressing
symptoms. They act directly on the liver. the or
gan which. when in healthy condition puriics the
blood for the whole body.
They are perfect Prepara,on of the great and
weii-khown remedy, Mandrake or PcdophylIin a
remedy that has displaced the use OF mercrrv' as
well as many other poisonous drugs in the practice
of every intelligent physician.
Prof. John King, of the College of Medicine. OF
Cincinnati, says " In Constipation it acts upon
the bowels withou, disposing them to subsequen,
Costiveness. In Chronic Liver Complaint there Is
not its equal in the whole range Of medicines beng
vastly useful than mercurial agents, arousing
the liver TO healthy action increasing the dow OF
bile and keeping up these actions longer than any
other agent with which are ACQUAINTED. tScc

In all cases of Liver Complaint or Dyspepsia,
where there IS great weakness debility. DIR.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic should be used in
connection with these Pills.

DISCUSSION AS TO THE ELIMINATION or THE
WORD ''sOUIH THE QUESTION REFERRED
TO THE NEXT ANNUAL CONFERENCE.-THE
JOuGNNENT TO MEET N uCHNOND MAY,
1886.
New YORK, May GA Times special
from Nashville, Tenn, furnishes details OF
the proceedings in the General Confer
cncc OF the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South. yesterday. The report OF the Com
mttec on Rcyisal, besides submitting a re-
commcndaiion that the word "South" be
eliminated from the name Oi the Church,
proposed to change the namc from Metho-
dist Episcopal 10 Episcopal Methodist. Dr..
Bennett moved that action be indefinitely
postponed, and an animated and lengthy
discussion ensucd.
Judge j. Walker Tucker made a strong
speech against The change, and said that TO
change the name would appear as ii the
Church was ashamed OF her record.
Or. Miller advocated The change because
in his country the word "SOuih had It's
bad effects. and was the means OF keeping
a large number OF people from Joining the
Church. When that prefix was stricken
ont the Church would increase more rap
idly in membership than ever.
Dr.. Arson was moi in favor OF indefinite
postp0nemcnt, but was in favor OF sending
the petition TO the annual conferences, be-
cause be believed ii they did that il would
1e defeated. The line between the two
divisions had not been obli,crated. and he
believed the change would do no good.
Judge WhitWorth favored the change
because the question on which the scpara-
ton was based was dead, and he thought
that if the name was changed 100000 me-
eroos IN the South would Join the Church,
bat would not DO so as long as il retained
its present name.
DR.. ". L. Brown. OF California. wanted
the nmc changed because it was obiec-
tionablc to the western people.
Or. Kelly favored the change on the
same ground.
Or. Potter opposed the change, and ,aid
the loaic q the whole argument meant
simply to 20 bodily back into the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. They could not
oblteraic their history without going bodl-
~ 10 the other side, and ibis hc was OPP
posed TO.
DE-. lIcFm1in read the following in lieu
on the report OF The committee, ana moved
its adoption:
EesolroG, That the matter OF the change
OF name OF the Methodist Episc0pa! Churcn
South 70 Episcopal Church be referred to
the various annual conferences by the
bishops during the ensuing four years,
and ihat they report thcre,uit o. tAe Gene
raj Conference in 1856: and further,
Resoired, The Church, ii changed, hall
be Methodist Episcopal Cburch OF America.
DR.. j. j.. Evans, o. Georgia, moved Ga
amend by making the name Methodist

mcnt was not accepted.
The substitute prevailed by q rising vote
OF 10j to 30.
