The following Letters were published in The Christian at Work, the leading religious paper of New York, some months since. That they attracted great attention is proved by the following editorial notice which soon after appeared in that paper:-
 "The publisher of The Christian at Work has been asked if the letters published in this paper, by Dr.. J. H. Sehenek, of PhiIadsI- phia, were genuine. In reply he says, that his representative has seen the originals of every letter at the office of Dr. Scbenck, in Philadelphia"
 FROM P. TURNER, Jr., BINGHAM TON, NV. MEssRs. J. H. SCHENCK &SoN, Philadelphia.
 Gentlene7a:-I have concluded that it is my duty to write you in regard to the great benefit I have received by the use of Dr. Schenck's medicines. One and a-half years ago l was very sick with what my friends and myself believed to be Consumption of the Lungs. The disease began with a heavy cold, its worst symptom being dry, hacking cough, which was almost continuous night and day. Soon after this began raising a thick yellow matter. Being exposed to all kinds of weather, by working at my trade, I caught additional cold and grew worse, until was obliged to give up all work. l at this time had terrible pains in my lungs, and was soon attacked with severe night-sweats. ] tried all the cough remedies advertised, I be- licve, before heard of your remedies. They were first brought to my notice by reading your book on Consumption and it's Cure"
 used all your medicines; that is the Man drake Pills, Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. I felt their beneficial effects from the first. They gave me strength and they gave me appetite, and in a very short time my cough was looser, and soon after disappeared altogether. I began to gain flesh, too, and in the course of two months from beginning their use, was very near well. I am now entirely we'll, and, believe me, very thankful that I found your medicines and took them in time to save my life. shall be pleased to have any one call on me in regard to my case.
 Yours truly, P. TURNER, JR.,
