Dear Srs.-I have been cured Of wha, believe

dies. first heard OF them by your advertisement
in the Patriot OF this place and concluding to use
them, purchased a bottle OF Pumonic Syrup and
Seaweed Tonic. They gave me great relief, and
by the time ! had used them up felt almost well
So stopped using them for some time, but soon
found that the disease was not broken up. ! then
got more medicine and continued using It until
was well.
My symptoms were continuous cough, night
sweats, raising Of matter streakcd with blood
soreness In my Lungs and a, the pit OF my Stom-
ach which was also very much swollen AT times

out help, and was confined to the house for many
weeks. was very much reduced in flesh, and
had no appetite, and nothing ate seemed TO d.
gest
Since my recovery have recommended your
medicines 10 great many, among others, a lady
who had what every one supposed to be Con-
sumption OF the Lungs for four years. She has
entirely recovered by the use Of them, and is now
strong healthy woman. can also refer TO 9TH

by their use.

Dear Sir.--About sixteen years ago, while liz.

disease came on gradually, beginning with a loss
Of appetite and afterwards great weakness which
brought on night sweats and a dry. hacking
cough. My chest and back were very weak, and
so sore tina, ii could not bear my weight against
the back OF chair At different times raised
considerable blood, which my physician said came
from the Lungs. ] employed several doctors, but
they all told me the same thing-that my Lungs
were badly affected and the last one that ! had

that had better 20 TO my mother home in Win.

nursing might live for some time. When ! got
10 my mothers was very low indeed, so that my
mother sent for her doctor. He pronounced me
beyond all help He, however, left me some med.
ienc which, he sald would relieve my worst
symptoms. After this my mother employed an
other doctor, who said that one of my Lungs was
nearly gone. ate scarcely anything for several
months and never expected 70 get well. One
day, friend who lives in Collinsvllle, Ct, gave
my father one OF your pamphlets on Consumption.

My father, finding that they were not kept in

DR. J. II SCHESCK, Phlla,, Pa
Dear Sir-l write this TO let you know that
my little daughter Henrietta whom you saw
on your visit to this city In the fall OF 1870 has
entirely recovered her health by the use OF
your Medicines. | wish also at the same time
20 give you some facts In regard 10 her case
which | did not have timo to do when you
were here. My daughter was considered a
healthy child until the month OF November
1878, when she was attacked with Remittant
Fever, with which she was sick for long time.
AS she was recovering from II she took heavy
cold, which settled on her lungs, producing
constant hacking cough AS several OF her
mothers relatives had died OF Consumption,
we were much troubled In regard 20 her case,
especially as our physician told u5 that her
lungs were weak and after her cough had
continued some time, that they were seriously
affected. He prescribed many things for her,
principally cOd.liver oil and stimulants; but
she kept getting worse and worse, until az last
he told us that there was no hope for recovery;
and, TO satisfy us that he had done all that II
was possible for him 20 do, called In two other
doctors They, after consultation, agreed that
she must die, and that all We could do was 70
make her comfortable while she lived. This
was In the month OF September. 1879 Al.
though We were assured by our physician that
our little daughter could not get we'll yet We
were always looking over the papers 10 try 10
find something that would at least preserve
her life for time. One evening read In the
ALBANY EVENING TIMES tho statements OF
many who had been cured Of serious lung dis.
eases by your Medicines, and feeling that they
at least could do her no harm, | concluded 10
give them a trial. | therefore went 10 the drug
store Of Mr. Miller, a gentleman with whom
was well acquainted, and asked him what he
knew or thought OF your Medicines. He said :
- have heard them highly spoken OF by my
customers, and believe them 10 be good"
then bought bottle OF the Pulmonic Syrup,
as well as some Of the Mandrake Pills and Sea
weed Tonic, and my daughter commenced to
use them according 10 the printed directions
We all soon saw that they were doing her good.
When she had taken them about two weeks we
noticed by the paper that YOU were 20 visit Al
bany professionally, and, taking advantage OF
| this opportunity, We had you see her. Although
| YOU did not see her at tho worst, you OF course
| remember her apparently hopeless condition.
| We can only say that from the Medicines you
| gave her she soon rapidly improved and be-
| came healthy and strong. We give you this GER
| tiflcate or letter that others may know OF your
| great Medicines. am satisfied that you saved
| the life Of my child, as she was pronounced be-
| yond medical aid by three OF tho best physi-
| clans Of this city.

PoRosITY OF MATTER.

That granite is porous is shown by
placing piece of it in vessel of water
under the receiver of an air-pnmp and
removing the air. Little bubbles will
soon be seen rising through the water.
These bubbles are the aiy contained in
the invisible pores OF the granite. A
piece of iron is made smaller by ham
mering. This proves its porosity. Its
particles could not be brought into
closer contact il there were no intersti-
ces between them. An experiment per-
formed some years ago, at Florence,
Italy, to ascertain whether water could
be compressed, proved that gold is
porous. A violent pressure was brought
to bear on hollow sphere of gold filled
with water. The water made its way
through the gold and appeared ON the
outside of the sphere. Water will thus
pass through pores not more than one
half of the miliionth Of an inch in diam
eter.

use her own Judgment and not buy Just

you really need the article. 1t is proba,

but what solid benefit will it be to you?
Or it is some luxury for the table that
you can rs well do without. Think,
therefore, before you spend your money.
Or you need new carpet, new sofa, new
chairs, new bedstead, or new dress; you
are tempted to buy something a little
handsomer than you had intended, and
while you hesitate the dealer says to you,
=" It's only trliie mora, and see how far
prettier 1t is" But before you pnrcnase,
stop to thnh Will you be the better

not wiser to clay by something for

you only for the moment; you soon tire
of them, and their only permanent effect
is to consume your means. 1t is by such
little eXtrayagances, not much separate

great majority OF families are kept COM
