Dr Scheuk's Pulmonic Syrup. This great medicine cared by Dr. J. H. Schenck the proprietor, of Pulmonary Consumption, when speedy death appeared to be inevitable. His phy sicians pronounced his case incurable, when he commenced the u-e of this simple but powerful remedy. His health was restored in a Tery short timo, and no return of tho disease has been appre hended, for all the symptoms quickly disappear ed. and bis present weight is more than two hun dred pounds. Since his recovery he has devoted his attention exclusively to the cure of Consumption, and the diseases which are usually complicated with it, and the cures effected by his medicines have been very numerous and truly wonderful. I'r. Schenck makes professional visits to several of the larger cities weekly, where he has large concourse of pa tient', and it is truly astonishing to see poor con sumptives that hare to be lifted out of their car riages, and in a few months healthy, robust per sons. Dr. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills aro generally all re quired in curing Consumption. Full directions accompany each, so that any one can take them without seeing Dr. Schenck, but when it is cenve r.icnt it is best to see him. He gives advice free, but for a thorough examination with his Respir ometer his fee is three dollars. Please observe, when purchasing, that the two likenesses of the Doctor, one when in the last stage of Consumption, and the other as he now is in perfect health, are on tiovernment stamp. Sold by all Druggists and Dealers' price $1.50 per bottle, or $7.50 the half doxen.

Among the wonderfal medical properties which have rendered HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT TERS pre-eminent among the health-restoring preparations of the age, its anti-bilious virtues are not the least remarkable. No words can do justice to its marvelous effect upon the diseased liver. Perhaps the simple words of a convales cent sufferer, who describes it as "going right to the spot" tell the story as clearly as may be. It diet go right to the spot. It operates directly upon the disordered organ, and whether unduly active or in a state of paralysis, restores it to a condition of health. The Sickn ss at the Stom ach, pain between the Shoulders and in the Right Side, Yellow Suffusion of the Skin, Costivcness Drowsiness an 1 Languor, Dimncs- of Sigh', Coli-, Palpitation of the Heart, Dry Cough, L -•* Fover, and other symptoms which inlioito the cartons phases of Acute and Chronic Liver Complaint, arc one and all promptly relieve 1, aa J finally re moved, by the action of this fatuous preparation, which is at once the best of corrective-, the gen tlest and most genial of ap-dents, ua infallible regulator, and a powerful restorative. Persons of a bilious habit, who use the Bitters as a protec tive medicine, will never suffer the pains and pen alties of Liver diseases or Bilious Remitcut Fever.
