CONSUMPTION,
Its Cure and Its Preventive
BY J. H. SOHENOK, M, D
MANY a human being has passed away,
for whose death there was no other reason
than the neglect of known and indisputably
proven means qf cure. Those near and dear to
family and friends are sleeping the dreamless
slumber into which, h id they calmly adopted
DR, JOSEPH IT. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE
TREATMENT.
and availed themselves of his wonderful effica
cious medicines, they would not have fallen.
Dr. Schenck has in his own case proved that
wherever sufficient vitality remains, that vital
ity, by liis medicines and his directions for
their use, is quickened into healthful vigor.
In tliis statement there is nothing presump
tuous. To the faith of the invalid is made no
representation that is not a thousand times
substantiated by living and visible works. The
theory of the cure by Dr. Sebenck’s medicines
is as simple as it is unfailing. Its philosophy
requires no argument. It is self-assuring, self
convincing.
The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are
the first two weapons with which the citadel
of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the
cases of consumotion originate in dyspepsia
and a functionally disordered livei. With this
condition the bronchial tubes “ sympathize”
with the stomach. They respond to the morbific
action of the liver. Here then comes the cul
minating result, and the setting in, with all its
distressing symptoms, of
CONSUMPTION.
The Mandrake Pills are esmposed of one of
Nature’s noblest gifts—the Podophillum Pelta
tum. They possess all the blood-searching,
alterative properties of calomel.
But unlike calomel, they
“LEAVE NO STING BEHIND,”
Tho work of cure is now beginning. Tho
vitiated and mucous deposits in the bowels and
in the alimentary canal are ejected. The liver,
like a clock, is wound up. It arouses from its
torpidity. The stomach acts, responsively, and
the patient beg : ns to led that be is getting, at
last,
A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD.
The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the
Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food.
Chyliflcation is now progressing without its
previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless,
and the cure is seen to be at hand. There is no
more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach
An appetite sets in.
Now comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever
yet given by an indulgent father to suffering
man. Scbenek’s Pulmonic Syrup comes in to
perform its functions and to hasten and com
piete the cure, ft enters at once upon its work.
Nature cannot be cheated. It collects and
ripens the impaired portions of the lungs. In
i the form of gatherings, it prepares them for
1 expectoration, and lo ! in a very short time the
malady is vanquished, the rotten flu-one that
it occupied is renovated and made new, and tire
patient, in all the dignitv of regained vigor,
steps forth to enjoy the manhood or the.woman
hood that was
GIVEN UP AS LOST*
The second thing is, the patients must stay in
a warm room until they get well ; it is almost
impossible to prevent taking cold when the
lungs are diseased, but it must be prevented or
a cure cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding
out, especially in this section of the country in
the winter season, are all wrong. Physicians
who recommend that course lose patients, if
their lungs are badly diseased, and yet because
they are in the house they must not sit down
quiet; they must walk about the room as much
and as fast as the strength will hear, to get up a
good circulation of blood. The patients must
keep in good spirits -be determined to get well.
This has a great deal to do with the appetite,
and is the great point to gain.
To despair of cure after such evidence of its
possibility in the worst cases, and moral cer
tainty in all others, is sinful. Dr. Schenck’s
personal statement to the Faculty of his own
cure was in these modest words :
Many years ago X was in the last stages of
consumption; routined to my bed, and at one
time my physicians thought that I could not
live a week; then, like a'drowning man catch
ing at straws, I heard of and obtained the pre
parations which I now offer to the public, and
they made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to
me that I could feel them penetrate my whole
system. They soon ripened the matter in my
lungs, and I would spit up more than a pint of
offensive yellow nrafter every morning for a
long time.
As soon as that began to subside my cough,
fevei, pain and night sweats all began to leave
me, and my appetite became so great that it
was with difficulty that 1 could keep from
eating too much. I soon gained my strength,
and have grown in flesh ever since.”
“I was weighed shortly after my recovery,”
added the Doctor, “then looking‘l ike a mere
skeleton; my weight was only ninety-seven
my present weight is two hundred and
tAventy-flve pounds, and for vears I have
“ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.”
Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional
visit to New York and Boston. He or his son,
Dr. .T 11. Schenck. .Tr., still continue to see
patients at their office. No. 15 North Sixth street,
Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 a. m., to 3
p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination
with the Respirometer wiH be charged five
dollars. The Respirome.ter declares the exact
condition of the lungs, and patients can readily
learn whether they are curable or not.
Tho directions for taking the medicine are
adapted to the intelligence even of a child
Follow these dircctons, and kind nature will do
the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man
drake Pills are to be taken in increased doses ;
the three medicines need no other accompani
ments than the ample instructions that do
accompany them. First create appetite. Os
returning health hunger is the most welcome
symptom. When it comes, as it will come, let
tne despairing be of good cheer. Good blood at
once follows, the cough loosens, the night sweat
is abated. In a short time both of these morbid
symptoms are gone forever.
Dr. Schenck’s medicines are constantly kept
in tens of thousands of families. Asa laxative,
or purgative, the Mandrake Pills are a standard
preparation; while the Pulmonic Syrup, as a
curev of coughs and colds, may be regarded as a
prophylacteric against consumption in any of
its forms.
Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed
Tonic, $1,50 a bottle, or $7,50 a half dozen. Man
drake Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale bv all
druggists and dealers.

[From the New Orleans Sunday Times.]
He’ll s>i*o it When 11c Wnkcs.
IRANK i£E.
Wo remember at the Wilderness a
gallant young Mrisissippian had fallen,
and at. night, and just bofore burying
hint, there came a letter from her he
loved best. One of the group around
his body—a minister whose tenderness
was womanly—broke tlio silent tear
fulness with which he saw the dead
letter; he took it and laid it upon the
breasi of him whose heroic heart was
still; “Bury it with him. Ho will see
it when he wakes.” It was the subli
mest sentence of his funeral service.
Amid the clouds of battle smoke,
Tlio sun haiUlrid away,
And where the storm of battle broke,
A thousand warriors lay.
A band of friends upon the field,
Stood round tlie youthful form,
Who when the war-cloud thunder peal’d
Had perish’d in the storm —
Upon his forehead, on his hair,
The coming moonlight breaks,
And each dear brother standing there,
A tender farewell takes.
But ere thoy lay him in his home,
There came a comrade near,
And gave a token that had come,
From her the dead held dear.
A moment’s doubt upon thorn pressed,
Then one the letter takes,
And lays it low upon his breast,
“He’ll see it when ho wakes.”
Oh! thou who dost in sorrow wait,
Whose heart with anguish breaks,
Though thy dear message camo to late,
“He’ll see it when he wakes!”
Ne’er more amid the firory storm,
Shall his strong arm bo seen;
No more his young and manly form,
Tread Mississippi’s green.
Then e’en thy tendsr words of love—
The word affection speaks—
Camo ail too late; but oh ! thy love
“Will see them when he wakes!”
No jars disturb his gentle rest,
No noise his slumber breaks,
But thy words sleep upon his breast—
“ He’ll see them when ho wakes.”

We are indebted to the Richmond
Enquirer for the following witty take
off ou the woman suffrago movement.
Whetl er the typical agitator portray
ed is meant to be Mis. Woodhull or
some of her less prominent sisters, wo
leave the reader to judge:
In a farm-yard in Virginia there liv
ed a family of domestic fowls, consist
ing of two cocks and about a dozen
hens. The cocks were game and of
the best breed, and were remarkable
for their pluck and gallantry, as well
as their devotion and attention to their
wives. When food was thrown to
them they never partook of it before
calling up the Miens and seeing that
they were served first, and whenever
they chanced to find a savory bug, or
to scratch up a delicate worm, they al
ways denied themselves the luxury and
invited tliS hens to enjoy it in prefer
ence, thus showing that their chief
gratification consisted in the comfort
and happiness of their helpmates.—
And the hens were not slow to avail
themselves of the self-denial and po
liteness of their husbands, but gobbled
up grain, worms, and bugs without
even saying “Thank you,” or “Won’t
you join us V” They seemed to look up
on these delicate attentions of their
lords, and the appropriation of all the
best things to themselves, as their nat
ural and inherent right.
On the other hand, tho hens were
loving, gentle, and obedient, and at
tended to their domestic duties nota
bly-laying their eggs with regularity
and dispatch, sitting on them careful
ly and patiently, and raising their
chickens in the most affectionate and
devoted manner. Both men and wo
men might, if their pride permitted,
draw instructive lessons from the so
cial life of this family of domestic
fowls. The men might copy after the
cocks in courage, self-denial, and those
pleasing little attentions which are so
much appreciated by their wives; and
the woman might imitate the hens in
their regularity, patience, dilligence,
and industry; in their devotion to their
children, and in their respect for, and
submission to, their husbands.
One day this family of fowls was vis
ited by two strange hens from Massa
chusetts. The'si rangers were tall, raw
boned, long-legged, long-necked, and
big-footed, and had coarse, harsh, voices.
Without invitation or introduction,
they strided in the barn-yard, and cir
culated amongst the hens and convers
ed with them in as free and easy a
style as if they had known them all
their lives. Indeed, one would have
supposed that the barn-yard belonged
to them. After a few remarks upon
tbo late war and the scarcity of cocks,
they requested the hens to separate
themselves from the roosters, and to
collect together in a corner of the yard,
as they had matter of vast importance
to communicate to them. Tho carios
ity of the hens being thus excited, they
filed off furtively to the appointed cor
ner, aud formed a circle around their
new acquaintances, and in a solemn
and respectful silence listened to one
of them who thus addressed them:
“Ladies, I have called you together
to address you on a subject of para
mount importance, not only to your
own comfort and happiness, but to the
future success nud progress of your
prosterity and of all civilized poultry.
Yon are aware of the accepted idea
that in the beginning of this world the
male p' »rtiou of creation wero made
first, and that the female was created
as a sort of afterthought, or side issue,
to relieve the male from the tedium of
being alono, and to contribute to his
comfort and pie sure. There is no
no doubt that, acting upon this idea,
the male has constituted himself lord
of creation, and has set himself up as
being the superior of the female, and,
taking a mean advantage of his great
er size and strength, has imposed up
on the female all the cares aud drudg
ery of this life. Especially is this the
case with the feathered tribe, aud
preeminently so with that portion of it
that we represent. Upon the female por
tion of our tribe havo been imposed all
tho inconvenience aud labor of laying
eggs and tho responsibility and trouble
of raising chickens, whilo the male has
nothing to do but strut about and ad
mire himself, aud give an occasional
scream when he sees a hawk hovering
in the air, but taking good care to get
out of the way wTien the hawk pounces
down on our unprotected brood. He
will fly upon the top of tlio fence and
flap his wings and crow as if the world
belonged to him, and look down with
the utmost complacency upon us hens
while wo are toiling to support our
families.
“Now this sort of thing has been go
ing on for so long a time without the
protest, and seemingly with the consent
and approval of tho hens, that it has
come to be regarded as the natural
state of affairs, and I suppose it would
have gone on forever if Plymouth Rock
had never boen visited by our ances
tors. You have all heard of tho mad
stone, that wonderful mineral which,
when applied to tho parts bitten by a
mad-dog or a snake, will instantly ex
tract tho venom, and save the life of
the sufferer. Well, Plymouth Rock is
the great moral mad-stone, which,
when applied to tho moral sores and
bites that afflict the world, will produce
an instant cure. My maternal ances
tor, Biddy Hardshell, came over in the
Mayflower, and w T as the first of the
poultry tribe that ever set foot upon
Plymouth Rock, and the first hen that
ever laid an egg in America. When
Biddy Hardshell gave her first cackle
upon that classic spot, thore was utter
ed the warning note of disenthrallment
of the gontlo sex.
“Since then the female at the North
has been at work, and its activity is
immense, far beyond anything that
your luxurious daughters of the sunny
South could ever imagine. Ideas dis
tilled through the alembic of our minds
are crystalized into gems of thought
that are destined to dazzle the world.
You will not therefore be surprised
when I tell you that we have discover
ed that tho laws and customs by which
our social, domestic,'and political life
have heretofore been governed, are un
natural, unjust, and degrading to tho
female sex.
“To a hen of an inquiring mind the
question naturally arises, Why are
things as the are ? For example, why
is it that hens lay eggs, and roosters
do not ? Why is it that a hen is sub
jected to the inconvenience of incuba
tion, sitting like a fool, staring at va
cancy for throe mortal weeks, in a
very confined and cramped position, in
order that a dozen or more hungry
chickens may bo brought into the
world, whilo her self-stlved lord, who
has been the cause of all the mischief,
struts about and amuses himself pay
ing gallant attentions to other deluded
females ? Again, why is it that roos
ters crow and hens only cackle ? The
first question is rather hard to answer,
and I am afraid that in your present
uneducated state it would be difficult
of satisfactory explanation, but the sec
ond question has been very clearly an
swered by Professor Greely in a small
essay entitled ‘What I Know About
Crowing,” in which it is staled that
when the first rooster crowed the hen
immediately clapped her wings and
crowed also; whereupon the rooster,
indignant at being imitated, and no
doubt fearful of being excelled, imme
diately pounced upon her, and gave
her such a wring of the neck as to
cause a stricture of the larynx, from
which she never recovered; so that af
terwards, whenever she attempted to
crow, the sound degenerated into a
contemptible cackle, and that all her
descendants were afflicted in the same
way, and consequently could never
crow.
Tho learned Professor has, moreo
ver shown that the stricture was acci
dental and not natural; ky proper
culture it could be entirely re
moved, and hens could regain their
lost powers of voice, and soon learn to
crow as well as the roosters, of which
I will give abundant evidence by and
by. .
“There are now at the North two
schools of philosophy. One is called
the Positive School, which looks to the
culture and training of the males, so
as to enable and induce them to per
form all the functions and duties of the
females. As far as the sitting, hatch
ing, feeding and nursir.g of ibe chick
ens are concerned, this, school is a de
cided success, and the day is not far
distant when these labors will be per
formed almost entirely by the roosters,
and then we poor, down-lrodden fe
males will have some time to look
around and enjoy ourselves. But the
S. 11. Smith <f Cos., Proprietors.
grand object of this school is to nmko
the roosters lay eggs, and here, I re
gret to say, that our success has not
been quite so decided. Our plan is to
surround the pupil,‘and hen-]xs»k him
to such a degree as to deprive him of
all his tail feathers and a larger por
tion of hi3 comb, and then to feed him
liberally on parched corn and pulveriz
ed oyster shells and drive him briskly
up hill. The result, as I have inform
ed you, has not been entirely satisfac
tory; but Mrs. Dr. Cackle, of Boston,
the eminent hen chemist, after a pro
found study of the subject, has sug
gested the addition to the diet of a
proper projxirtion of sulphur and gly
cerine, and predicts that our success
will then be assured. This school looks
also to the cultivation of the female
voice up to the strength and coarse
ness of the males. Crowing schools
have been established all ever New
England, and now it is a common
thing there for liens to crow as fiercely
and as lustily as roosters.
“Tho other school is called the Neg
ative School, or tho Society for the
Suppression of Eggs, and hero also we
have met with tho most marked suc
cess; so much so that the production
of eggs by tho native New England
hens Ims been reduced from what it
was formerly in the ratio of eight to
three; that is to say that where an un
cultivated hen in old times used to lay
eight eggs, a well educated hen of tho
present day only lays throe, and she
doesn’t lay them unless she chooses.—-
Ladies, that is what I call the march
intellect It is Plymouth Rock suck
ing the poison from the great social
snake-bite. If we go on improving at
that rate we shall soon stop laying al
together, and thon the roosters will
have to tako up or depend upon tho
Brama Pootras, Cochin Chinas, Shang
hais, and other foreign breeds to keep
up the stock.
“Aud now, ladies, allow me to give
you your first lesson in crowing.—
Stand up straight and turn your toea
out, heads up, and necks out to their
full extent—now all clap jour wings as
I do.” And there arose such an un
earthly and unhenly screech and yell
that the rooster, who was behind the
barn and wondering what had become
of the bens, rushed frantically to the
spot, aud there ho beheld the long-leg
ged intruders clapping their wings and
crowing at the top of their bents. He
made one spring at the orator of the
day, caught her by the comb, and dug
his spurs into her sides, pitched her
over and tousled her to such a degree,
that she hardly had enough feathers
left to cover her nakedness. As soon
as she could recover her breath and
her tongue she cried out, “Hold ! hold!
Mr. Rooster, arn’t you ashamed of
yourself to beat a lady in this way ?
I thought you Southern cocks were fa
mous for your gallantry and attention
to the fair sex, and here you are beat
ing a lady almost to death.” “Lady,
indeed!” cried the rooster, “didn’t I
hear you crowing ? H>w was Ito know
you that wero a lady ? lam sure you
don’t look like one, you look to mo
more like a capon; now get you gone,
and if I ever catch any more of you

Coming down here preaching hens’
rights and setting up crowing schools
I’ll beat you within an inch of your
lives; clear out! ’

A Sad Accident in North t'uroli-
Roaring Gap, Wilkes County, N. C. t
June 10.—A sad accident occurred in
this county recently, which resulted in
the death of an estimable young lady,
and dangerous injuries to her husband.
About nine miles from this village,
near the foot of tho Blue Ridge, rises
an abrupt peak, known as Rock Moun
tain, the sides of which are very preci
pitous, but with a narrow plateau on
its summit, which is a favorite resort
during the summer months for the cit-,
izens and strangers sojourning in the
neighborhood. Recently a young man
named Atkins, a native of this county,
but lately married, paid a visit to the
peak, accompanied by his wife and sev
eral friends. After spending several
hours on the summit, the party were
returning home, the newly married
pair holding each other by the hand,
when the husband lost his foothold
and began sliding down a steep decliv
ity, toward a precipice, dragging his
wife after him. They both cried for
assistance, but before their astonished
companions could tender their aid the
unfortunate pair were precipitated to
the valley beneath, a distance of six
hundred feet. 'When found, the body
of Mrs. Atkins was dreadfully mangled,
but strange to to say, Mr. Atkins is
still alive, and hopes are entertained
of bis recovery.
%The grave of Thadeus Stevens

flowers upon it with difficulty could
ascertain the locality.
