hShtful discovery that stone placed over a

tenant farmer, who was the proprietor, the
professor said to him, eagerly: -Did you not
obtain this stone from the castle ruin on the
hill yonderf' at may bs that my grand
father fetched it thence when he built the
stable" was the reply. The antiq1ary then
asked what he would take for the stone.
"Since you appear to have a fancy for it,
said the farmer, give me 40 gilden and
will bring it to your house Rather q large
sum, said the prof essor, "but bring it TO my
residence a d you shall have the money"
When in ue course the farmer brought
the stone upon a truck, the Jealous altiauary
turned it over to refresh his eyes with .

been damaged in its removal. why" he ex-
claimed, what Is thist This in not the night

paid the whole sum, and gave the man .

FROM SPRINGFIELD, MASS.
CONSUMPTION CAN Be CURED.
DR.. j. III. SCHENCK.

Dear Sir:-About sixteen years ago, while
living in Canada, my health became very
poor. My disease came on gradually, begin
ming with a loss of appetite and afterwards
great weakness, which brought on night
sweats and a dry, hacking cough. Ny chest
and back were very weak, and 50 sore that /
could not bear my weight against the back Of
a chair. At different times / raised consider
able 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 also said that could live but
short time, and that / had better 90 TO my
mothers home in Winstead, CT, as soon a.
could, that with careful nursing might live
for some time. When got to 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 medicine
which he said would relieve my worst symp-
toms. 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 to get
we'll. One day friend, who lives in Collins
vile, CT, gave my father one of your pam
phlets on Consumption. He brought it home
and told me to look it over and see if any of
the cases described in it were like mine. i
read the book through, and found so many
cases described there that seemed as bad as
mine, that were cured, that I began to hope
that l too might recover by using the medi-
cines My father finding that they were not
kept in Winstead, sent to New York and got
a supply. In one week after / began their
use my night-sweats ceased, and my appetite
began to improve. In tive weeks after this l
was much better in every way i commenced
to use the medicines in March in July felt
quite strong; in two months more l was well,
and have had good health ever since. be-
lieve that would not be alive to-day but for
the use of your medicines, as all the doctors
had said nv disease was Consumption, and
that was incurable. Yours truly,

The National Live Stock Journal declares,
as scientific fact, that good meat must, AZ

fat" as the people would say. Nearly every
experienced householder has privately come
to this same opinion. The meat may be
beautifully mottled, and yet be very tough;
it was old and was suddenly fattened
therefore,. while all fat meat is not sweet
and tender yet there is no sweet and tender

HEREDITARY CONSUMPTION CURED.

severe cough, with terrible pain in my sides
and between my shoulders. i had very little
appetite, and what little could eat only dis
tressed me. l consulted physicians, who said
my condition was a very bad one, and gave
me five different cough syrups and tonics,
from which l received no benefit, but seemed
to grow worse, and kept losing flesh and
strength. l had night-sweats, and sweat most
of the time during the day. i coughed and
raised blood and salt, foamy phlegm my
throat was filed with ulcers, could hardly
swallow; sometimes | could not speak loud
word for weeks my lungs grew more painful
every day, with difficult breathing while
pleurisy pains would almost stop my breath.
j had collie palms. sour stomach, and vomiting
up everything / ate. My whole body was
filed with pain. l could not lie down, but
had to recline in sitting posture to breathe.
gave up, and did not think of ever getting
up again, as it was hard moving myself; my
feet and ankles began to swell badly, and my
hips had given out long before. In this sink
ing condition l thought l would try your
remedy for Consumption; it might do me
some good it could do me no HARM for was
certain l could not live q month longer the
way l was. At that time, May, 1873, pro-
cured your Pulmonic Syrup, seaveed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills, and took them as di-
rected. In a week was better and began to
throw off from the lungs greenish-yellow
matter streaked with blood. / could eat .
little without throwing it up, the pains in my
sides were not so severe could sleep an
hour very soundly, and that was what i had
not done for three months.
took your medicines steadily six months;
my cough got better, did not sweat so bad
nights, kept gaining slowly, and in a year
after l began your medicines could say

tember weighed one hundred and thirty five
pounds-ffteen pounds more than i ever
weighed before in my life.
Your medicines, know, saved nv life;

all Consumptives, take DIR. Schenck's medi.
