THEY 10YE1IS AT HOME.
Ah, yest wo con bear the day’s burden and heat,
The dost and rude jostling we find in the street,
And censuring whtsjje|s that flqtu tilt they meet
The ears they were never intended to greet,
Jf they love us sincerely at home.
We ean hear by the crowd to be hurried along,
Down-trodden, Supplanted, oppressed by the strong;
We can bear even lasting and unprovoked wrong,
If dnr hearts through it all ean chant truly the song.
Oh, they lovW ns most dearly at home.
We ean bear file wild storm, be it show, ball or rain;
Heayy losses, instead of the Jong-looked for.gain;
Vpbraidtngs and shadows that creep round our name,
And threaten its brightness to hide or to stain,
if they lore ns sincerely at home. •
Oh, love ns at hornet for this pleasure we plead,
With all else, this withheld, we are poor indeed;
Take all, but leave this, and with voices agreed,
We Will sing with glad hearts, whatever we need,
“ They still love us—they love us at home.”
WHAT A SUIT OF CLOTHES CAME TO.
A STORY YOR BOYS.
“Mother,” said-little George Maxwell', “ there’s
a poor boy in our school .who. I wish had some of
my clothes. The bays call him Pinch; he looks
so pinched; but he is real dean —his knees and
elbows are well patched: .he was dreadfully cold
in sohool to-day, IlcfidWne was, he kept shirering
so.”
“The poor do not suffer halfw mueh frorh cold
as we think for,” said his auqt “They get used
to it.” ■ .
“ Let’s see you try it,” cried George.
“ Hush, my son,” said his mother. :
. “Welly mother, just as if flesh and blood would
not feel 'Such weather as this, with only a thin strip
of old cloth between them. Aunt is covered with
flannel from head to foot; no wonder she doesn’t
know what cold is.”
George and his aunt were not apt to agree, and
the worst of it was they did not agree to disagree.
“What is the bey’s name besides Pinch,?”
asked his mother. •
“ Jed Little. I guess ho has no father, and I
do not know where he lives. I only know he is a
good fellow, and real pitiful this weather.”
“Well,” said Mrs. Maxwell, “if ypu can do
anything for him, I shall be very glad to have
you." 4 .
“ Good,” pried George, turning to His book
again, “before to-morrow night I’ll take the shiver
out of poor Jed, if I can." He could now study
better.
Jed was not at school the next forenoon. George
asked where he lived; but none of the boys knew,
none at least that he asked. After school the
Master told him, and away he scampered to find
him. It was an old block of buildings in another
part of the town which he made a business to
search through and through when he got there.
Presently there was a tap at one of the basement
windows, and George spied Jed’s face at one of
the squares.
“Hallo,” cried George.
Jed oame to the door and peeped out. “ Where
are you bound, down here?” he asked.
“Looking up you, old fellow,” said George.
“Mother is lining mv trowsers, and I’ve got
nothing to’wear while she is doing it,” said the
boy, “I cannot go out, so you come in.”
George Went into the little room where the
Littles Jived—a poor widow with four children,
whom the long and severe winter was pinching to
the very extent of their scanty-means;- Such a
box of a stove, George thought, and about a por
ringer of potatoes; and Jed with old summer pants
pn and a blanket over his shoulders, white his
baßting strips of flannel in his school
trewsers, and the best he had. It was the reality
Of poverty which George had seldom seen.
“ I jußt thought I would hunt you up, Jed,” he
paid, making ah if to go, for he felt half ashamed
of his thick coat beside his poor half-clad school
'finite. v - ■*.. .J..
“ Thank you, over so much, for coming,” said
jpd. “ It’s good in you. Why, you see I almost
froze in school yesterday, and mother did not want
me to go till she had time to,fix me. She sews
for the shop, and has to sew for us by piece-meal.
I wish ’twas always summer, George, like the
tropics, geography tells about. , -
‘VPoor Jed,” said George to himself, as he ran
houje; “Poor fellow, poor fellow.” “Mother,”
hp cried, as he bounded into the house with his
glowing cheeks, “I want to make up a bundle of
my olothes for Jed Little; quick, mother, quick.”
“It is dinner-time,” said his aunt.
• “Dinner?” cried the eager lad; “what do I
care about dinner when poor Jed Little is
freezing?”
But his mother quieted his impetuosity until
aftpr dinner, when she went up stairs with bim and
gave him leave to select a full and comfortable
jftuit for the poor boy: George shouldered the
bundle, and took in his other hand a tin-pail full
pf pinner for the destitute family.
* “ You are a good boy,” said his aunt.
“ Good! lam not good. I’ve not a spark of
goodness in tne," cried he.
, J.*My child, how you speak to your aunt,said
'{kuHnpther gently, laying her hand on bis bead.
“>'l know it,-mother,” he answered, in a gentle
tohd; “O, I know it, and it is so rough in me;
aunt will you forgive me speaking so?”
“ Go," said his aunt and mother,, both smiling.
“ I have had a good visit,” said George on his
return, bringing home a serious; thoughtful and
softened look with him.
“ Jed could not speak, he only looked and looked;
His mother did the thanking. I did not want
thanks, only it seemed to do her good. Jed
gritbbed my hand when X dame off, and squeezed
it so; ‘some time or other,’ said that was
all he could say.”
Twenty years or more passed away, and a poor
miner was taken from one of the. Sacramento boats
and landed at San Francisco. Poor, friendless,
and Blok; he was scarcely able to walk, and sank
down on a box of goods under a shed.—ln the
hurry nobody noticed him, or noticing him,
thought it worth while to inquire into his misfor
tunes. At last, when the confusion began to lull,
a couple of meh came along.
“There’s that poor fellow,” they said; “ he’s
never likely to see his home again.”
“ Who is it ? ” asked a third.
“Don’t know his name,” answered one.
“ Maxwell, I think,” said the other; “Maxwell, i
a dowd-easter,” ■ ]
The name arrested the attention of a stranger, I
who stood near the wharf, looking over an invoice i
of goods. “ Maxwell,” he looked up and said, I
“Maxwell; where?”
They pointed him to the sick man, who seemed i
to have fallen asleep. He went towards him.
“A good deal older than any Maxwell I everknew,”
he said.
“ Maxwell, Maxwell,” he repeated half aloud,
and the name seemed to flood him with memories
Which took him far, very far back to his boyhood
again- “ Maxwell,” he said again, and again was
drawn to the poor miner. “ Your name is Max-1
Well,” he said, seeing him awake.
“That IS my name, Bir, George Maxwell,” an
swered the man; “wrecked on a forlorn coast ”
“Geofge Maxwell,” exclaimed the strangey,
f rasping the miner’s thm hand in his right honest,
ealthy grip, “God bless you, and who am I but
Jed Little, able to carry a dozen of you on my
back. Come, come, my home is your home. It
,is. all summer with me-now, and you-shall share
my summer with me, George Maxwell.”
Who can describe the meeting, or the wonder
ful faithfulness of God’s providence, whereby a
bundle of old clothes, planted twenty or twenty-five
years before, yielded an abundant harvest; 1 friend
ship, food, hope, shelter, medicine, ahd a prospect
of better business than mining could ever be to
one so delicately brought up as George Maxwell
Had been.

Willie had oomfi to.visit his cousin Ada, and
they both were walking in the garden one fine
morning when a gay-butterfly flew around them,
attracting Ada's notice by its brilliant colora ot
various hues.
“0 what a beautiful butterfly! ” she exclaimed.
“I’ll catch it!” cried Willie; and instantly
taking off his cap, he pursued it as it flew from
flower to flower.
“0 Willie, pray don’t; you will, hurt it,” cried
Ada, running after him, and laying her hand on
Willie's arm. But Willie took no notice, like
many other boys, he thought only of gratifying
his own desire, regardless of the pam he might
oausc the poor butterfly.
At length he brought it to the groufcd, too much
injured to fly again,-and-then taking it by its downy
wings, he ran to Ada, exclaiming;
“Here it is! caught at last; look, Ada!”
“Poor little thing—what a pity!’’
“Tush, Ada! don’t make such a fuss. But,
look, all the color is gone from its wmgs, it’s no
use now," and he threw it on the- ground impa
tiently.
“O Willie, why leave it half dead? See! it is
trying to crawl along! poor little thing! I'll put
you out of misery.” -So saying, Ada set her foot
upon it, and covered it with gravel; then; taking
her little hoe, she went to work at the weeds,
sighing to herself, “I wonder how Willie could be
so cruel!" . . •
Ada was a loving, gentle child, and so she could
not bear to seeany thiog put to unnecessary pain.
Willie was naturally lively and thoughtless, and
often acted more from impulse than any Vicious
motive 3 "■'* •
“Willie,’’said Ada, aa. though she wished to
find some excuse for his conduct, “yon did not
know that what looks like dust cm the butterfly’s
wings are feathers, did you?”
“No, indeed,” exclaimed Willie, looking at his
fingers. “Who told you that these are feathers,
Ada?”
“Mother did. I will bring you. the magnifier,
and we will go into the aibor, and then, you can
look at the dust on your fingers through it.,
“0 Ada! I had no idea that butterflies were so
beautiful," said Willie, after he had examined them
some time.
“Everything God has made is beautiful, Willie;
and don’t you think he will be displeased with us
if we destroy wantonly what he has made?”
, “A butterfly is such a little thing, Ada I don’t
think God cares for them.” •
“0 Willie! I'm sure God cares for all Ills works;
for in the Testament we read that ‘not a sparrow
falleth to the ground without his notice. 1 ”
“ The boys at school don't, think anything of
chasing butterflies; Ada; they would laugh if you
said it would hurt them. Do you really think they
feel pain?”
“Certainly they do, Willie; don’t yon think it
would hurt you if any stfong man were to take you
by the hair, and drag you about ? Or, suppose
some rough boy knocked down your dove as it flew,
and then held it up by the wings and pulled—”
“ Stop, stop, Ada!” interrupted Willie; “if any
boy dared to use my < dove, sO I don’t know what I
should do.” And he jumped up and looked.quite
fierce for a minute. “ But, Ada, my dove is much
larger than a butterfly,” argued Willie, not willing
to be convinced by his cousin. -
“Willie, you ought to know that every thing
can feel, however small; and as God has made his
creatures to enjoy themselves, we must not put
them to pain.”
“ Then,” Said Willie, With a sigh: “But how is
it you know so much, Ada ?"
“Mother teaehes me, Willie; apd she often says
it is the duty of everyone to .alleviate suffering as
much as-possible; and by no-means to give the least
unnecessary pain. Do you remember those verses
we learned last week on kindness to animals ?”
“Yesj'say them, Ada.” .
“The Xord, who gives us daily bread,
Supplies their wants and hears their cry,
And every wrong which they endure
Is marked by his paternal eye.
.“And should.yo^,cruellyJiatrajr .
Your trust o’er those who can’t cotriplain,
Beware, the measure that you zoete,
May he returned to yoa again.
“0 meekly learn of Him, who rules
In tenderness the weak and small;
And as He loves and pities you,
Be kind and pitiful to all.
“Some Borrow, toil, or suffering
Must needs he, in this world below;
But let your earnest life-work be
To sooth, to heal, and lighten wo.”
“Isn’t that beautiful, Willie?” said Ada, when
she had finished.
“Yes, very. I wish Ihad some one to teach me,
Ada; but my mother is dead, and father is always
out' so I never thought about these things till yon
told me. I’m sure I’ll never chase another butter
fly, Ada.”
Ada threw her arms around Willie’s neok, and
whispered,
11 And when you kneel to God in prayer,
To seek his- Holy. Spirit’s aid,
Ask for a gentle heart to love
Ail creatures that his hand hath made.”
In a populous city in the East, there lived, a
few years since, a poor man. by the name of Van
Dorp. He got his living by lighting street lamps,
sawing Wood, wheeling potatoes, carrying letters,
-Ac.; lie was a very honest and faithful servant,
'and everybody was willing to trosthim. There
was a gooiHprotestant minister in the city, and-he
asked VartjDorp one day if .he wonld- not like to
quit his other, .occupations, and sell Bibles from
house to house among the people. The-poor man
said.
“No* it will neiter do, for the people will rise
Up against meaud drive meaway.”
,He hadreason tt> fear this, for tbeVe were a
great manyßoman Catholics in the .place, and
they always opposed the circulation of the Bible.;
However he was induced to try, and he met with
inttoh more favor than he andeipated. One day
he went np to some gentlemen with a Testament
in his hand, and asked if they wished to buy -it.
Ono of them answered,
“Yes* if you will promise me that I shall gain
25,000 florins by it/'- -
Yan Dorp replied, “Sir, if I cannot sell you
something that is worth more than 25,000 florins,
I will throw all my books into the fire.”
He was right,“hut .the man did not understand
his real meaning, and he asked, “But how shall
I know that you-do not deceive me?”
The ready answer was “Ifl sell you afield,
and thatfield has in it a great treasure, you will
say when you find the. treasure, ‘That man spoke
the truth/”
The man now understood that be must search
the Bible as he would search for hidden treasure
in a field, if he would know its Worth. ' v
On another occasion Van Dorp was' walking on
the quay, when a.bargeman,.or,sailor, cried out to
him,
“ What sort Of a postman are you now, with that
sack on your back?”
He replied, “ A higher postman than any other
kind of a postman on earth; I am a carrier of let
ters from heaven. I have a letter for. you, which
costs but twenty-five pieces; and this letter tells
you of a debt you owe, which you will never he
able to pay.” ,
The laborer thought at first that if it was so he
Would not buy* for he did not want to hear any
thing about his debts; but he thought again, “If
I do really owe this debt, it will be brought against
me some day, and I had better know about it as
soon as possible/’ So he bought the Testament,
and turned it over and over agaio, looking into all
the pages foif the letter. Van Dorp observing his
earnest manner added,
“ In this same letter there is a person mentioned
who is willing to pay all that debt-for you, if you
will only make his acquaintance, and ask him to
befriend you.” . 1
This was good news to the bargeman, who went
awfty rejoicing in his treasure, and saying,“l will
study this book as soon as T get oh board the.
ship/.’.. i
We know nothing farther of the bargeman, hut
we know that he had one good lesson, pis teach

THE BUTTERFLY’S WINGS.
THE LETTER-CARRIER.
cr was an ignorant man, but yet how dear, point
ed and forcible his language. That Letter.
Whose attention is not arrelted by the announce
ment, “ A letter foT you?” Most especially when
it is added, ‘ 1 about a debt yon owe.” U npleasAnt
it may be, but it startles one, and compels him to
think and inquire. If it turns out a debt that he
« never will- be able to pay,” and yet one that he
knows will be enforced, it oppresses him, and often
such trouble drives men to insanity and suicide.
But let it be announced to that burdened and
aching heart, “A person is mentioned in the let
ter who is willing to pay,the debt for you,” and
it is as life from the dead. To find that friend is
the first thing —even before food or sleep.
Reader,'think about the letter—that debt—that
friend —-and be as wise for your soul as you would
■be in a-merelv temporal and business transaction.

THE “MORNING STAR”
Of all tho missionary ships employed in the
Pacific Ocean none is so well known in this country
as the Morning Star Of this vessel we copy the
following notice from the Honolulu Commercial
Advertiser of the Ist of Marth.
The “ Morning Star ” —This beautiful little
missionary packet, the pride ot thousands of chil
dren of America and Hawaii, who hold certificates
of ownership m.her,.sailed on Wednesday last for
another cruise-to the. Marquesas Group,, to carry
provisions and necessaries to the Missionaries sta
tioned among those islands. At the invitation of
her Captain, we embraced the opportunity to make
a visit on board before she sailed We found-her
all newly painted, and-throughout the vessel from
stem to bow, below atJfl-aloft, sbo'u'pjieared as neat
and tidy asa lady’s parlor. ■ Under the experienced
management ot. Captain- Brown, we should look
for nothing else. The defectiveness in her con
struction which wo noticed some months since,
and- which was the cause ,of.,her long detention
here, has all been removed, and Capt. B. thinks
that she is in every respect a better vessel now
than when she sailed from Boston four years ago.
It would have made the hearts of her thousand
little owners rejoice to have seen her as she left
our harbor on Tuesday last, with her large flags
gaily streaming from, her mastheads, among them
that bearing the dove, and olive branch, .presented
to her by the children of Honolulu. It was in
deed a pretty sight tp see her thus setting sail on
her errand of mercy— ,
■« A burden bearing, richer far
Than gold or costly gem;
An emblem of the Morning Star
That shone o’er Bethlehem.”
The little packet touches at Hilo. ,to receive on
board Rev. T. Coan, delegate to.the Marquesas
Mission, and. then proceeds on her beneyolcnt
voyage to the Marquesas. ■ She will be absent
some two or thrpe months.
THE SGOTCH-IRISH.
About five millions of people in America have
the blood of these Scotch-Irish people in their
-veins, and not one of them, man or woman, that
is not proud of it, ■or that would exchange it for
any other lineage. This race put forth the first
Declaration of Independence in America—the
famous Mecklenburg paper. So soon as the news
of- the battle; of Lexington reached them, they
marched to-the leaguer of Boston. ; It was, per
haps, the only race, of all that settled; in the
Western world, that never produced one tory.
The nearest Case to il ever known, was. that, of a
man who was brought -before the church session,
in Ghambersburg, and. tried upon this charge, that
he was “ inspected, of not being sincere in his pro
- /cssions of. his attachment to the. cause of ...the
Revolution !” A majority of the Pennsylvania
signers of the Declaration of Independence were
of this rasf.-.,. I* was the. venerable Dr. Wither-,
spoon \y*ho said; during the,debate upon, the adop
tion of that paper, on the. sacred spot at once so’
near and so dear to us: “That noble instrument
on your table, which secures immortality to its
author, should be subscribed this very morning
by every pen in this bouse. He who will not re
spond to its accents, and strain every nerve to
carry into effect its provisions, is- unworthy the
name of a freeman. Although these gray hairs
must descend into the sepulchre, I would infinitely
Tather they should descend thither by the hand of
the public executioner, than desert, at this crisis/
the sacred cause of my country!”
When Washington, after crossing river after
river, with his broken army, was asked how far he
meant to retreat, he replied, that if he were obliged
to cross every river and mountain to the limits of
civilization, he would make his last stand with-the
Scotch-Irishmen of the frontiers, there plant his
banner and still fight for freedom. . This race has
produced four Governors of Pennsylvania, and
four Presidents of the United States. It has given
to the nation, among scores of lesser luminaries,
in oratory, Patrick Henry, Calhoun, M'Duffie; in
war, Mercer, Montgomery, Morgan, Knox, Jack
son. In invention, one name is enough-; it is that
of Fulton; in statesmanship it is enough to speak
of Madison and Hamilton.
In the Church, their distinguished names cluster
in constellations.' It is<a race'that has ever con
served learning." Wherever it goes, the school
house springs up beside the house of God. “ Sixty
years’before the landing of the May Flower, and
eighty-two years before the first public school law
of Massachusetts was adopted, the first Book of
"Dkciplibe -in the Scottish Gburch required that
1 ‘a school Should be established in. every parish for
.the instruction-of-youth in the principles of-reli
gion, grammar, and the Latin tongue.’ ” In
America, before the cabins disappeared ..from-the
roadside, and the stumps from the fields, these
men founded a logrcoilcge at Neshaminy, in
Eastern’Pennsylvania, where some of the most
eminent men of- the last century were educated.
- And when they first ofall opened- the gates to-the
'Valley of the Mississippi, on a bright summer
( day, with no meaner canopy over their heads tba'n
‘ (She Blue arch of heaven, under the shade of a sas
safras tree; two Scotch-Irish ministers inaugurated
Jefferson College by solemn prayer, and the hear
ing of a Latin recitation. Half a.centffry later,
another Scotch-Irishman, with two of. his ministe
rial brethren, went out, and knceling-down in the
snow, with-nothing to separate them from God
but the wintry sky,/dedicated the ground on which
Wabash College now-stands to God the-Father, the
Son, and the Holy GKEst.
. It is a race that'never shrinks from its re
sponsibilities, .and that, fears not the face of man.
A Scotch-Irishman originated and carried through
the Legislature of Pennsylvania, the act of 1760,
for the gradual abolition of slavery. “We esteem
it,” says Mr. Bryan’s preamble. to that great law,
“a peculiar blessing .granted. to. us, that we are
enabled this day to add one more step to universal
civilization, by removing, as much as possible, the
sorrows of those who have lived in undeserved
bondage, and from which, by the authority of the
King of .Great Britain, no. effectual legal relief
‘ could be obtained. We conceive ! tha;t it is our
ditty, and rejoice that it is in our poweFto extend
a portion of that freedom to others which hath
been extended to us.” Qf the deep religious de
votion of this race, and their solemn.fear of God,
we will not now speak, though it is the crowning
excellence of their character, and the source from
which alii that is great in them, springs. That
amidst all this they had their faults, rye need not
deny. They were somewhat.rough, and th'o’gentler
and finer-elements of civilization came in among
them rather by stealth, as the wild flower by their
rocky streams was rather tolerated than cultivated.
But as our grand Pennsylvania nourishes-its pure
air and its crystal waters amid its rough gray
'‘mountains; as it hides beneath' its rude bosom
treasures richerthan those of Peru and Golconda;
so- is it in the stern integrity, the vigorous in
telligence, the unflinching courage, and th<f heart
felt piety of, its plain and sturdy pioneers, that
the rich : aod' fragrant bloom of our finest civiliza
tion has its' deep and far-reaching roots/and. its
yijrip trunk, which Ms borne .unscathed, alike, -thq

JAPANESE MDUSTBX-
The Japanese aTe an industrious -and ingenious
people. Nearly all the useful metals are worked
by them with great skull,’ especially iron, copper,
gold and silver; and- tfiejtposses an art in the com
bination of metals for bgauty and effect unknown
to other people. Their sword-blades are admira
ble. They also matinfgioture astronomical instru
ments, and clocks .which are copied
after European models, probably introduced by
the Dutch. Their mirrors are metallic, and veiy
beautiful. Their carpejiiters’ and cabinet-makers’
tools are also equal to Any of European manufac
ture. They are said tojbe very quick m observing
any improvement, introduced by foreigners, make
themselves masters of] it, and copy it with skill
and exactness Their coinage is well stamped, as
they are good die-sinkera- 1“ wood, no people

imitate, and equal theui, owing chiefly to the ma

the gum of a tree known only to themselves, called
the varnish tree- Occasionally specimens of their
lacquer work, through the Dutch residents of De
zinia, have found their wav to this country, but
it is said the best sain pies are never, sent out of
the kingdom. They manufacture glass, both co
lored and uncolored; /and their porcelain is both
delicate and beautiful-beyond all rivalry. Paper
they produce in abundance, and principally from
the bark of the mulberry tree. It is ot-different
qualities, and some ofnt is as soft and flexible as
our cotton cloth,, for Which it might be mistaken,

is prohibited. As a substitute for cotton cloths,
as before remarked; ip the manufacture of which
they have little skill, fthey use their coarse, spongy
paper, which is quite, as useful and durable As
they have no sheep dr goats, the manufacture of
woollens is unknown ’ among them; Very little

their feet frequently affords a ridiculous contrast
to the splendor and jjghness of the other portions
of their picturesque bostume.
We have alluded, to the ingenuity of the Ja

In offering my celebrated PULMONIC SYRUP to the
afflicted, I feel that I present to the public consideration
nothing new or novel. > ; ,' ;
The,success of my Medicine in the cure of PULMOr
NARY COMPLAINTS is too well established to admit
of skepticism; too certain in its effect to require any
combat with that prejudice which usually assails, the,in
troduction of a new article to the public.
If the patient will persevere and follow the directions
which accompany each bottle it mustand will cure Con
sumption when apparently in its last stages.
I do not wish to be understood to say that when lungs
are destroyed it can create them anew j but I do mean
to say that when patients have a violent cough, night
sweats, creeping,chills,.emaciated, confined ,to the bed,
and given up to die by their physicians, they may be
cured! Thousands of such cases SCHENCIt’S PULMO
NIC SYRUP has, and will often cure.
Sometimes the most eminent medical men arc greatly
mistaken in auscultating, or in the examination of the
lungs. They often suppose Consumption to exist, when
such.is ,not the case. As the best'of. them make mistakes
of this;£ind,jthere.is lip positive certainty only .in an
examinatibrtwith Respirometer. . ;S
They see’that the patient has a distressing cough and
a great rattling of phlegm in the lungs, which at once
they pronounce to be Tuberculous or Pulmonary Con
sumption, and resort to some cough remedy, the basis
of which must invariably be opium, to stop the cough,
and which clogs the liver, constipates the bowels, and
injures the gastric juice of the stomacb/sotbat it is im
possible for digestion to go on; andin a fewweelcs or
months the'sufferer is relieved by death.'
It requires a long arid constant practice to become fa
miliar with,the different sounds or murmurs offhe re
spiratory organs. I have had over twenty years’ prac
tice, and maysay with safetyi that I examine from 60 to
100 per week, and would think it mere guess-work un
less I bad the patient’s breast bare, and everything per
fectly quiet during-the examination!
Now, I willveritureto say that two-thirds ofthe cases
of Consumption intbeUnited States are caused by either
Liver Complaint or Dyspepsia. The mucous membrane
of the bronchial tubes sympathizes with the liver and
stomach, and fiequent slight colds hasten it into Bron
chial Consumption!.;; ■■■ I- - ; !•-> - ,
With this kind of Consumption I have been very suc
cessful. By the use of my Pulmonic Syrup, aided with
my Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills ingettrnga tone
to the Stomach and Liver to secrete a healthy bile, the
Syrup then acts freely, and it must soon cause a free ex
pectoration.
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP is one of the most
powerful purifiers of the hlood known. Its tonic pro.
perries assisting the gastric juice of the stomach, making
a healthy and natural circulation of venous blood, soon
ripen the abscess in the lungs, heals and soothes as it
goes, stops the pough, and soon restores them to health.
In Scrofulous diseases it is equally efficacious I have
ambrotypes of persons cured of; this disease, showing
scars’where they hate been almost covered with run
ning ulcers. .
I ani the inventor of what is called Schenck’s Respi
rometer for examining the lungs, which is highly recom
mended by the Faculty. V
■ One part of it is placed to the naked breast, and the
other to the ear of tbe-auscultator; then, when the pa
tient draws a long breath, it transmits the sound or rat
tling of the lungs, so loud and distinct, that by practice
it is easy.to determine how far and what portion is dis
eased,. and can unerringly determine whether it is
Tuberculous, Pleuritic or Bronchial Consumption, or
whether it is’an affection of the mucous membrane of
the bronchial tubes, sympathizing fyoiri the liver or sto
mach, anil form aprognosts accordingly.
Those wishing a thorough examination with the Res
pirometer iviU be charged three dollars; but all advice
will be given gratis, am! I will do all in my power to
explain the nature of their ease. Those desiring an ex
amination, and feelirig unable to pay, need not hesitate
to call on me, lor the same attention will he shown and
the same interest manifested in them which I bestow on
those most favored. lam arixious to meet and explain
to every one my manner of treating this insidious dis
ease—Consumption. - -
There are hundreds now using my Medicines in this
city, and no one could wish better evidence than to.sit
in my office a short time, any pleasant day, and see the
people conie in with bright countenances to explain the
effects of Syrup and other medicines ; their appetites
improved, expectoration much freer, bowels regular,
tongue cleaning,-night.sweaJSAJUL'ereeping chills tlimi
nishing. I feel confidept that Consumption is often cu
rable aftermedieal men give them up. There are a,
great mahypersons now walkingthe streets-of philadel
phia cured of Consumption by Schenck’s Pulmonic Sy
rup, that were given up to die by their physicians.
• Where I find one sound lung, 1 feel confident of curing
if the patient will take my medicines according to dir
rections, and prevent taking cold. ..
‘ Many years ago I was given up as being m the last
stages of Consumption, and was taken from home in
Philadelphia to my friends, in Moorestown, New Jersey,
to die. I was wasted away to a mere skeleton, was con
fined to my bed, and my physician, (who had attended
my father’s family before, me) said I could not live a
week. Then, like a drowning mrin catching at straws,
I heard of* arid obtained this" preparation of roots arid
herbs, which made a perfect cure of me.
; It seemed to me that I could feel it penetrating my
whole system. It soon ripened the matter in mylurigs;
and I would spit off more than a pint of offensive yellow
.matter every morning for more than a week. As soon
as that began to subside, my cough, fever, pain, night
sweats; all began to leave me, and my appetite became
,so great’ -that it was with difficulty I could keep from
eating too much. I soon gained my strength, and have
been growing in flesh ever since. It astonished all who
knew me, a£ every one thought I was too far gone ever
to be raised again. Many of those people who knew me
then are now living, and occupying places of honor, and
trust in New Jersey and Philadelphia, who could easily
satisfy the most incredulous as to the truth of this state
ment. Mine was s family complaint; my father, mo
ther, brothers and sisters alt died with Consumption,
and I alone am left. . : i >
, Now, I enjoy the best, health, arid have for years,
weighing over 219 pounds. Immediately on my recovery
I removed to Flemington, New Jersey, and for several
years made the Pulmonic Syrup, and gave it to, the
afflicted. It made such wonderful cures that the physi
cians of the.place were" astonished at its effects, antl ad
,vised,me to turn my attention to the science of medicine
and the study of this peculiar disease. In fact, 1 was
driven to it by the great number of people coming to me
or, sending for me from all parts to cure them; ao(l I
flatter myself that at this day I have had as much expe
rience and success in this treatment of this disease as any
other persoh ln the country, having visited many por
tions of it, and studieij the various types or forms of the
disease peculiar to the different phases of our climate.
I, therefore, feel a my mode of treatment
which those who .confine-then- practice tobutoneloca
lity can hardly hope to attain.
I am the proprietor of three medicines—the Pulmonic
Syrup for Consumption, Seajwee*! Tonic for, Dyspepsia,
and Mandrake Pills for liver Complaint. One botUe of
the Tonic often removes the worst cases of
Dyspepsia. ' The Mandrake PiUshave become in .com
mon.use for all bilious complaints where purgatives are
required. They act onThfc Liver aiid Stomach similar
to calomel, without leaving ■ any* bad 1 effects, and: are
prarranted.not to contain,a particle.of.calomefandmer
ciiry. The Tonic and Tills were originally intended to
assist the Pulmonic Syrup in euringConsumption, when
the stomach and liver are muoh disordered; but they
are often now used when the lungs are .not diseased,
with the happiest results, '■ ,
• The PulhiomeSyrup iscalculated to correct the lungs,
stomach.anil liver, and will, ripen and remove all the
morbid maiter fro*m the 'systfem; hut sometimes the
bowels are so costive, and the liver so sluggish, that tt
requires something more active, with .the Pulmonic Sy
rup;, then the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are
required. The directions Which accompany the Syrup
explain.how they are to be used. .
Now; consumptives, here is a plain statement from
one whohasmade tbis complaint the study ofalife-time;
and if any person will eall at my office, No. 39 N. Sixth
Street, Philadelphia, Jt .will refer him to as many as he
may wish to visit, who have been cured of the Consump
tion with the Pulmonic Syrup, and were as low as my
self. I will also refer to many in Philadelphia, who
knew me when I was taken over to New Jersey to.die.
'These are facts which have takeii place right at home,
and among those with whom my whole life has been
spent
Dr. SCHENCK can be found' at his office, No. 39 N.
SIXTH. St;, on* Fridayand Saturday, of every week,and
, wishes, to see every, patient,who is. using or intend? using
his medicines. He has also a suit of rooms, corner of
Louisiana Avenue and Seventh Street, Washington City,
where he can be found every Wednesday; and at 108
Bal tim °re Street, Baltimore, where he can be fonnd
every Thursday. Mondays and Tuesdays is set apart to
visitpatientsin.oroutof the city of Philadelphia, when
ever he may be called.
