 When MeII-KnOWn People write such Letters as these, who can doubt the efficacy of Dr. Schenck's Great Medicines ?

 After reading this Book you will know what your condition is, and will be prepared to apply the proper remedies to effect a permanent cure.

Schenck's PuInonic Syrup has been used in our institution for several years, and has proved very eficacious remedy in the numerous cases in which it has been em- ployed, by removing inflammation and otherwise relieving the patient. We keep a constant supply of this valuable remedy in the house, and confidently recommend it's use to all who are subject to affections of the throat and lungs.

DEMOCRATIC FOLLY.

The Democrats in Congress are
n ow preparing to unseat Mckinley of
Ohio, and Peale Of Indiana, and
put Democrats in their places. This
will be high-handed outrage, for
there is not a shadow of a good rea.
son for it. Some of the most radi.
cal Democrats in the house are op.
posed to such action, and say that il
will be short-sighted policy to at
tempt it, as the reaction will be favor
able to the Republicans. Blackburn
told two members of the elections
committee that they were making
fools of themselves; both Peale and
Mckinley would be reelected on the
strength of it, and if they kept up a
little longer these foolish plumbers
the next House would be Republic an
