Does there linger in the minds of
N trthern radicals, the faintest sense
iif decency, or the slightest suseeptibil
tyof shame? If so, let them blush for
tie action of their party in the United
sues Senate, on Friday night last,
w.th rii3peet to the State of Georgia.
Two years ago Georgia complied
v th the terms of the reconstruction
a - to the very letter. The conven
ts u which framed the constitution by
v iich civil government was restored
to the .State, was chosen under the au
s: 'ees of General Meade, and was eom
j. -ed largely of negroes and almost en
tirely of radicals. The people of Geor
gia, pursuaded by the bayonets of
Meade, adopted the constitution. An
e i tioa was held for Governor, mem
b i of the legislature and representa
tives in Congress. Gen. Meade again
kindly assisted the voters, and Bullock,
c rpet-bagger, was chosen Governor,
i a legislature which was then con
- lored intensely radical, was elected.
Bullock was installed in the executive 1
o.iice. The legislature assembled, or- i
g. lized, ratified the Fourteenth A
ruendment, as required by the recon
st actiou acts, and afterward elected
t\ ogentlemen of undoubted loyalty, to
n .rcsotn the State in the United
>' in- Senate. General Meade then
el lareel that civil government wa.- ful
ly restored iu the State, and withdrew
ii military. General Grant, who, as
G ner.jl of the Army,', was designated ,
iu ihe*reconstruction acts a- the officer
to -co to their execution, approved the
report and action of General Mt-ade.
The lower house of Congr- received
the representatives elected from the
s ;.ti- and thus deliberately recognized
it- n -toration. The up} er house re
• d th-. credentials of the Senab r<
elect, but on objection being made, re
f red them to a committee for exam
ii.atlon. I n short Georgia was regarded
a- reinstated in the Union, not only by
< .ogress. but by the entire radical par
ty. which iu its national convention at
t i jcttgo allowed the State the same
r 5 .cuts accorded toother States represen
ted in that body.
But the people of Georgia, though
ti; y had swallowed the nauseous pre
ptioii of the radical doctors in order
th d they might be purged of all di
loyalty, had the audacity to think for
thvuiseixa-s on political subjects. At
the Presidential election they voted
for Seymour by forty thou-and majori
ty. This was a grave offence in the
-ight of the radical majority in Con
gress. A question as to the eligibility
of the uegrce- elected to the legisla
t i • arose, and it was decided by each
the houses that they were ineligible
in ;r the State Constitution. This
,1, ;-ion was made in consequence of
a : opinion given by Joseph E. Brown,
w; > was a delegate to the Chicago
(V .vention and who is now by ap
pointment of Gov. Bullock, a judge
of the Supremo Court of the State.—
A Chough this- course, on the part
of ;he legislature, waa advised by
leading radicals of the State, it roused
the ire of the conspirators at V\ aching
ton, whose aim is theoverthrow of our
pr cut form of government, through
the adoption of the Fifteenth Auiend
nteut. When the legislature rejected
the Amendment, they resolved that
the State should be remanded to
military rule. It is doubtful, however,
\vh< ther their vindictive scheme could
have succeeded, had not Governor
Bu !i>ck come to their aid. The legis
lature had, also, sorely offended that
un llich and patriotic official. It had
r j ,-oil to enrich him at the expense
of the people. It had failed to pa— a
bill io purchase from the Governor for
thr hundred thousand dollars cer
tain real e-tatc in Atlanta, as a site for
tlx? new State capitol, which had cost
him but forty thousand. The inso
lence of such insubordination to the
gubernatorial behest was Intolerable.
Besides, there was serious talk of Bul
lock's imputfchnsent for alleged un
lawful handling of the State finances.
It it, therefore, not at all singular that
His Excellency proceeded to Wash
ing on, to assist in kicking Georgia out
ol the Union. Once more under mil
itary authority, with Bullock com
manding an armed body of negroes,
Georgia will be reproached neither with
an i oipeachmeut of her chief executive,
nor with the want of a State capital
which will oust three hundred thous
and dollars. r
The Altooua Vin'licator has been
purchased by I>. W. Moore,, oneof the
proprietors of the Harrisburg Patriot.
On the first of January next, the name
of the paper will be changed to the Al
tooua Suit. We have no doubt the Aon
wili be a brilliant luminary in the
nev. -paper world.

CORRUPTION runs riot in every De
partment of the Government. It has
been ascertained to a certainty that up
wards of eight thousand notes of the
five-twenty bonds, third -eries, a
mounting to $1,595,000, have not been
accounted for. A committee was ap
pointed in LSS7 to investigate the
frauds committed in the issae of
bonds and certificates of the second se
ries oi' the seven-thirty ioan. which
has made no report except to show that
corruption and fraud had been discov
ered. That the people have been
shamefully robbed is manifest ; but
here the matter ends. The radicals, it
seems, havea right to plunder, and the
public it appears, must submit.
It does not appear to be the province
of any body connected with the gov
ernment to expose and punish such
villainies. Even the President is
quaking at the prospect of an investi- !
gation of the causes which led to the
September gold swindle in New York.
But plundering the government is not
considered stealing now-a-days. It is
not regarded as theft for members of
Congress to rob the people by voting
sub-idies to railroad companies. It is
deemed a legitimate and honest trans
action on the part of the people's rep-
resentatives to receive shares of stock
in Congressional corporations, as a
consideration for votes and influence
in granting such corporations immense
bodies of the public lands. No wonder
CencT'essmen get rich and live in $32.-
000 houses!
On the motion to table the bill of
Mr. Ingersoll, of Illinois, in ilie House
of Representatives at Washington, on
.Saturday last, Messrs. Cessna, Gilfil
lin an i Negley, of this State, voted
No. This bill provides for the i--ue
of forty-four millions of greenbacks in
redemption of that amouut iu bonds
bearing gold interest. Cessna, Gilfil
lin and Negley have, then, it seems,
gone over to Pendleton! If Young
Greenbacks can carry this load, noth
ing can prevnt him from winning
the presidential race. What do the
anti-repudiation radicals of the Six
teenth Congressional district think of
their Pendietouian representative?
What will those austere sticklers for
the rigid observance of the pledged
faith of the government, the editorsof
the Somerset Herald. Bedford Inquirer
and Franklin It*petitory , say to this
tendency of the loil Mr. Cessna to
ward the ranks of the repudiators?
cm: Ti'.Nl KE OF OFFICE K11.1..
The probabilities are that the pres
ent Congress will, in accordance with
the imperative demand of Grant, re
peal the Tenure-of-Office Law. As
the bill was put through for the sole
purpose of curtailing the power of Ex-
President Johnson, with the single
design of preventing the removal of
Radical officials, it wa.- ju-tlv regard
ed as an outrageous piece of partizan
legislation. As such we frePlv de
nounced it at the time of its passage,
and our opinion, then expressed, has
undergone no change. We believe
that it was calculated to do injury In
putting dishonest and incompetent
officials in a position where they would
feel comparatively secure. Tne Presi
dent could not di-miss them sum
marily. and many of the frauds which
were perpetrated under the late ad
ministration were due to the provis
ions of the law which Congress is notv
hastening to repeal.
The rumors of corruption and the
well authenticated reports of gross
frauds on the revenue which reach us
from all parts of the country show that
many of Grant's appointees are un
mitigated scoundrels. He has shown
a great lack of judgment in making
appointments, from his Cabinet down
to the lowest officials, and he needs the
largest kind of liberty to correct his
damaging blunders. We do not think,
however, that it is a regard for the
public welfare which now leads him
to demand the repeal of tne Tenure-of-
Office Law; we believe he is in
■ fluenced by a desire to have the
I thirty thousand office holders in
the country under hi< absolute and
: unrestrained control, in order that he
may compel them all to work dilli
gently to secure lii- reaomination.—
That i- well Understood by his friends
in Congress, and, as a large majority of
the Republican members are ready
to concede what he demands, we are
not surprised to see it announced that
the very men who advocated and
voted for the Tenure of Office Law are
now just as ready to make ?|>eeehes
against it, and to vote for its uncondi
tional repeal. It Is said some Radical
Senators are uot prepared to recant so
suddenly and so completely. They do
not relish being placed in a position so
palpably false and indefensible. Col
fax, who is industriously intriguing
for the Presidency, is said to be oppo
sed to the repeal of the law ; but neith
er his ambitious designs nor the reluc
tance of certain Senators to make so
speedy change of position on the ques
tion is likely to affect the result.
We hope the law will tie repealed.
It Is wrong in principle, and calcula
ted to work injury to the public inter
ests. Besides We are in favor of permit
ting Grant to assume the responsibility
which he seems to covet. With the
reieal of the Tenure of Office Bill he
will have to answer to the people for
theappointment andeoutinuance in of
fice of every obnoxious, every incom
petent and every dishonest official.
We are in favor of giving him full
swing, of allowing him all the rope he
needs to hung himself..— Jjancaster fn

FUITHE FKBEBiI. CAPITA!-
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.
The Senate this morning suffered its
dignity to be taken a button-hole still
lower by permitting a lengthy "per
sonal explanation" of the Rev. Mr.
Brownlow to be read from the Clerk's
desk. It contained an elaborate and
graphic account of the beauties of Ten
nessee politics, including the many
fisticuffs and "rows" incident to the
struggle between Senter and Stokes,
together with ihe part the honorable
Senator took in the controversy, and
wound up by declaring the unaltera
ble opposition of the Reverend gentle
man to anything that looked like De
mocracy. The Senate was evidently
ashamed of the exposition, not a mem
ber paying the slightest attention.
Even the Clerk, who usually has the
bellow of an ox, read it in so low and
rapid a manner as to reuder it difficult
to catch the precise tenor. In the
meantime, the old man sat shaking
with the palsy while his ribaldry a
bout dying "to please Andy Johuson"
was being read to the assembled wis
dom of the nation.
Mr. Carpenter (not without some op
position from Sumner) succeeded to
day in getting in his "great speech"
advocating Cuban recognition, and
the prevention of the Spanish Gun
boats from filing from New York,
This matter derives its imjiortance
from the fact that it i-• understood to
embody the views of Senators on the
Radical side, who design to coalesce in
solid opposition to the Administration
of General Graut, not only upon this,
hut other points of groat national im
portance. In this movement are com
prehended hosts of sore-heads, who
will give his Excellency great trouble
tki- se-sion. Mr. Carpenter cut to
pieces the President's crude theory,
and especially denounced his action in
referring the matter of the guuboats to
the courts, and then shamelessly or
dering its withdrawal through Dis
trict Attorney Pierrepont, the prospec
tive Attorney General of the United
States.
The great question of Virginia's "ad
mission" has assumed a new phase.
The Reconstruction Committee lias
postponed its consideration until Sat
urday. It will probably go over un
til after the Holidays. In the mean
tin; . further demands -if humiliating
concessions are coticocting. Tiie bill
introdnced by Mr. Ward, a "moder
ate" Republican, from New York,
has been duly referred to Butler's com
mittee, provides, as "conditions," that
the Constitution of Virginia shall nev
er lie so amended or changed as to de
prive any citizen or class of citizens, of
the United States, of the right to vote
in that State, who are entitled to vote
by the constitution thereof, now to be
recognized, or of the right to sit upon
juries, or of the right to an equal
participation in the school fund and
school privileges as now recognized by
such Constitution ; provided, that any
alteration of such Constitution may be
made with regard to the time and
place of residence of voters.
The bills introduced respectively by
Messrs. Trumbull and Drake, in re
gard to the Supreme Court, apparently
differ in this, that whereas Drake's in
plain words oust- the jurisdiction of
the court in all eases where the con
-titutionalitv of an act of Congress
is brought in question, and Trumbull's
only where -uch laws have a poliliral
hearing. It is clear that for practical
purposes this distinction is without a
difference. Yet Drake's bill undoubt
edly will be subjected to the accustom
ed go-by, and Trumbull's triumphant
ly adopted, notwithstanding, Congress,
by the latter, is clothed with the power to
deckle irkat fates are, and what are not
political. The Missouri Ourang-Out
ang has, however, defenders and eulo
gists in this business. He is held up
as a second Thad. Stevens. "In the
legal cast and frame of his min*J,"
says a radical paper, "he strongly recalls
Thad. Stevens, who taught law without
books.™ And he is further propped up
by the following threat of popular
vengeance {yet suppressed against the
supreme legal tribunal of the country :
"Popular feel in" instinctively, resent
ing the false }>osition into which the
judiciary was getting, and snuffing the
danger, was, with a rough impul-e of
natural justice, making ready to save
the national peace and safety, even at
the expense of the Constitution and
written law. Mr. Drake has shown
how the danger can be cured constitu
tionally and inside of the law, and if
this—the avoiding of a dangerous and
urgent crisis—is not the test of true
statesmanship, we do not know what
it is."
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18, 1869.
In the Senate to-day the Georgia Re
construction bill is under discussion.—
From present appearances, the bill c-an
not become a law before "the holi
days." It will, however, undoubted
ly become a law. If the "Fifteenth
Amendment" shall become sure of a
doption, in the sense regarded by the
Radicals, then, when no necessity fcr
its ratification by Georgia -hull be any
longer discerned, the bill, without the
- amendment of Morton, will probably
be considered sufficient fcr all party
purposes; if not, the amendment will
prevail!
I committed a slight error yesterday
in speakingot Mr. Carpenter as "chair
man" of the committee of the Senate
Judiciary Committee. Mr Trumbull
; occupies ilmi post. I intended to say
that he was instructed by th?commit
tee to report the Georgia bill, and so
acted as its chairman. This is import
ant, inasmuch as it indicates that Mr.
Trumbull is not in uni-on with that
. committee in its recommendation up
ou that subject.
II seems that Stanton has really some
show for the vacant judgship, now that
Judge drier has been persuaded to re
sign. The tetter's resignation went in
on Wednesday. People, however,
known to be in the confidence of Gen
eral Grant, confidently assert that his
Excellency will suffer martyrdom rath
es than nominate him. In this mat
ter we shall see whether General
Blair's opinion of the President is well
founded.— Oor. Bolt. Gazette.
CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.
In the Senate, yesterday, a large
number of memorials were presented,
and a bill introduced to abolish the
franking privilege. A resolution was
also introduced protesting against al
lowing the departure of the Spanish
gunboats built at New York. The bill
to further define and regulate the ju
risdiction of th courts of the United
States was taken up and discussed at
length. A bill was introduced provi
ding for the further "reconstruction"
of the State of Georgia.
In the House, Mr. Butler, from the
committee on reconstruction, reported
three bills looking to the eariy admis
sion of the State of Virginia. There
does not seem now to be much doubt
of the admission of the State before the
holidays, although the house has resol
ved to adjourn over from the 22nd of
December to the sth of January. The
House is claarly not in favor of a re
newal of the reciprocity treaty, for by
a vote of 42 to 129. it adopted a resolu
tion ofl'ered by Mr. Peters, of Maine,
declaring that a renewal of the treaty
should not be considered in the present
condition of affairs. The house made
very little progress with the census
bill, and only reached the twenty-see
ond section. Mr. Butler introduced
another bill for amnesty iu exception
al cases. It is thought before the end
of the present Congress a general am
nesty act will be reported. The bank
ing and currency committee was di
rected to inquire into the causes of the
late gold excitement in New York.
A resolution wa-offered instructing the
judiciary committee to inquire} wheth
er Lewis MeKenzie, of Alexandria, is
entitled toa seat in the House. It was,
however, laid on the table, as it invol
ved the question of the constitutional
ity of the retrocession of Alexandria
county to Virginia. A bill was passed
to remove political disabilities from a
number of Southern citizens.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.
The Senate yesterday agreed to the
House joint resolution to take a recess
from the 22d instant to the sth of Jan
uary. Senator Brownlow, of Tennes
see, had read by request, a long perso
nal explanation in relation to affairs in
his State. Mr. Carpenter called up his
resolution declaring as the sense of the
Senate that the Spanish gunboats des
tined for Cuba should not be allowed
to depart from the United States. Mr.
Carpenter made an able speech in fa
f.ivor of his resolution, and Mr. Sum
ner replied. The resolution from the
House to define the meaning of the eight
hour law was then taken up and dis
cussed until the hour of adjournment.
In the House a resolution was offer
ed by Mr. Tones of Kentucky, declar
ing that in the death of George Pea
body, this country, and the world have
sustained an irreparable loss, and reci
ting the fact that the Queen of Great
Britain, the authorities of London, and
the Emperor of France have made ex
traordinary provision for the transfer
of Mr. Peabody's remains to his native
land, authorizing the President to or
der as many ships of the line a may
tie convenient and adequate to the oc
casion to meet the European convoy
at sea and conduct it to these shores,
and to make -uch other preparations
for the reception of the body as are
commensurate with the merits of the de
ceased and with the dignity of thecoun
try. The resolution was laid over un
till Monday next. A large number of
of bills were introduced and referred,
among them one providiug for specie
payments, and another to remove all
political disabilities imposed by the
fourteenth amendment. The census
bill was then taken up and consider
ed until the hour of adjournment.
FOR SKY'S AFCOCSTS COVERED IP.
A sf>eciai telegram to the Harrlsburg
Patriot says:
Mr.Cragin introduced a resolution to
close the accounts of John W. Forney,
late Secretary of the Senate. Mr. Cam
eron ajH>logized for having on a former
occasion, made some disparaging re
marks in reference to these accounts.
He now believes that Forney was un
fortunately subjected to wrongful im
pressions through the malfeasance of
his confidential secretary. He i satis
fied that Forney's amounts have been
made tip in some way by that gentle
man him.-elf or his friends, and that
the government had not lost a cent.—
A statement of the last Comptroller of
the Treasury was then read, showing
that Forney's accounts had been fully
adjusted. The joint resolution was
then passed, and Forney's disreputa
ble career as Secretary of the Senate
was closed up. The proceeding was
the most transparent subterfuge which
ever transpired in the Senate Chamber.
The whole matter was prearranged,
and as a reward for months of fulsome
puffs in Forney's paper.
It is reported that the Avondale Re
lief Fund amounts to $128,077, and
thus far only $12,000 has heen given to
the widows and orphans for whom it
was intended, (over three hundred
persons, i or at the rate of $37.12 apiece.
The balance has been judiciously in
vested for the benefit of the sufferers by
the terrible calamity in future. We
think it would he better for the trus
tees of the fund to present ea'-h fami
ly entitled to relief with SSOO this win
ter and no-wait until the pensioners
get ok 1 before giving them this sjion
taneous charity offering of the people.
In a few years many of those having
claims upon the fund may die or re
turn to their former homes in Great
Britain, and some rich and entirely
undeserving person may swallow up
the shares of the absent claimants, in
terest and all. Tne great disaster will
become an old story in time, and the
people would be better pleased to see
their gift applied Wfiiie their hearts are
warm with the pleasure oi giving.
The fact that Empress Eugenie has
returned to Paris worth over a million
dollars more than she was when she
left, is the incentive to any number of
don toot* and witty squibs cm the part
of the press in the French capital.
This accession of fortune represents the
cash value of the magnificent diamond
studded tiara presented to her by the
Khedive of Egypt.

A MODEL PARLOK MAGAZINE —For
beauty of typography, artistic engrav

together with a display of the Fash

certainly unsurpassed. The January
number, just received, in addition to
unusual holiday attractions, has a tine
steel Portrait of both Mr. and Mine.
Deinorerst. The rich display of novel
ties offered in Demorest's Monthly
would seem to be enough to secure a
circulation sufficient to satisfy its pub
lishers, but in addition we see they
propose to give a very large and line
engraving to each subscriber, valued
at slo. The Engraving alone would
make a very appropriate Holiday or
Birthday gift; but when added to the
costly Picture the best Parlor Maga

THE LADY'S FRIEND FOR JANUARY.
—The number for January, 1870, is a
truly splendid New Year's gift. A
thrilling picture—"On the Rapids" of
Niagara, is the first steel plate. The
second is a beautiful title page for the
magazine encircled with the flower
wreathed portraits of seven of its lady
contributors, the intellectual
face of Mrs. Henry Wood inatroni
zing the younger ladies—Mrs. Moul
ton, Florence I'ercy, Elizabeth Pres
cott, Miss Douglass, August Bell, and
Mrs. Hosiner. Every admirer of these
talented ladies will desire to see this
beautiful plate. The Colored Fashion
Plate, as usual, shows the latest styles:
and there is besides a page of richly
colored patterns for Berlin Work. The
music is the "Rockaway Scottish." A
great variety of articles for ladies'
dress, and for the work-tabie, are illus
trated by wood cuts. A beautiful sto
ry by Mrs. Moulton—"Did He Forget
Her?" is begun in this number; and
there is a poem by Florence Percy, and
stories by I*. B. Ripley, Miss Douglas,
and A. M. Dana, Ac. The publishers
offer great inducements to new sub
scribers, aud we recommend our read

Tnis is the season when people make
up their minds about the magazines
they will take for the coming year.—
The various programmes are publish
ed, and this in brief is what Hurd and
Houghton promise to give in their
RIVERSIDE MAGAZINE FOB YOUNG
PEOPLE. Not without pride they point
to the first name on their list of spe
cial contributors, Hans Christian An
derson, the most celebrated of all wri
ters for the young, who is engaged to
furnish them with his stories even be
fore thev apnear in Denmark. They
promise also to give passages from An
derson's life, told by himself. Of A
merican authors, Jacob Abbott is to
describe, in his intelligible, thorough
manner, such processes as the build
ing of a railroad. Colonel Paul H.
Hayue is to tell again some of Frois
sart's stories. There are two writers
whom the Riverside has done much to
bring into general notice, capital story
tellers in different ways, the gentle
man who writes under the nam de
plume of lleux Moustache, and Mrs. H.
C. Weeks. The former has a serial
story, the scene laid in Kentucky,
"How the Captain came by a Legacy,"
to be illustrated by Parley ; and the
latter is to tell several stories, the first
entitled "Jake's Wedding,"sure to be
full of fun and bright truthful presen
tation of children's life. The Editor
of the magazine is to give short bio
graphic sketches, and there are to be
articles on History, Natural History,
Science, Invention, Art. The subject
of gymnastics is to be treated by an ed
ucated and practical instructor; such
special matters as Indian club exer
ciser- are to be illustrated, aud the same
writer will give valuable suggestions
as to the use of the voice, a matter a
bout which very few are informed.—
Riddles and enigmas, bright talk,
and an ever fresh variety—these are
to characterize the Riverside, ami peo
ple who have seen the three volumes
already published will believe it. The
publication price is $2.50 a year; to
teachers and clergymen, $2.0(1; and
the publishers are Messrs. Hurd aud
Houghton, 459 Broome Street, New

On Wednesday Governor John W.

Court had granted a writ of certiorari
in the case of l)r. Paul Schoeppe, now
confine 1 in jail at Carlisle under sen
tence of death for the murder of his
betrothed wife, Miss Maria M. Sten
neeke, and the Governor at once with
drew his death warrant from Sheriff
Thompson, of Cumberland county.—
Tiie respite thus granted is for an in
d< finite period. Governor Geary stat
ed to a friend that it was remarkable
that none of Dr. Schoeppe'a many friends
and sympathisers had asked for a res
pite, but all deni mded an uncondition
al pardon, which he says he would not
grant in the face of the curial record
as presented to him. Dr. Schoeppe is
now quite positive that the Supreme
Jourt will order a new trial of hi
ease, and that he can establish his in
nocence through after discovered testi
mony.
The Council of Monongahela City

the vacant Cardinal's hats will be filled
with heads of two distinguished Amer

York. In the entire hierachy no two
abler or more deserving prelates could
be selected for this distinction. Apro

French Bishops and more liberal of the

of Papal infallibility, while those of
Great Britain and America—the two
most liberal nations—are depended up

Peopleof all denominations will learn

to take action in opposition to the (Ec- j
umenieal Council at Rome, and was
composed mainly of atheistical, deis

any reforms in the Catholic Church or
in the practice of Christianity, but
would have endeavored solely to in
augurate a revolution, which might

Sehenek's Pulmonic Syrup,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, willeureCon
sumption, Liver Complaint, and Dyspejsia, if ta
ken according to directions They are all three
to be taken at the same time. They cleanse the
stomach, relax the liver.and put it to work ttden
the appetite becomes good ; the food digests and
makes good blood; the patient begins to grow in
flesh : the diseased matter ripens in the lungs,
and the patient outgrows the disease and gets
well. This is the only way to cure consumption.
To these three medicines Dr J. H Sehenck. of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled suce< s.- in the
treatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pul
monic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
lungs, nature throws it off by an easy expectora
tion, for when the phlegm or matter i- ripe, a
slight cough will throw it off, and the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the-eaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills must be freely used to cleanse the stomach
and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the
food will make good blood
Sebenek's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
removing allobstructions. relax the duets of the
gall-bladder, the bile startsfreely . and the liver
is soon relieved ; the stools will show what the
Pillscar. do : nothing has ever been invented ex
cej t : alomel ,a ieadiy poison which is very dan
gerous to use unless with great care;, that will
unlock the gall-bladder and starts the secretions
of the liver like Sehenek's Mandrake Pills
Li verComplaint is one of the most prominent
'causes of Consumption.
Sehenck'sSeaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the Alkali in the Seaweed,
which thispreparation is made of, assists the
stomach to throw >ut the g istrie juice to dissolve
the food with the Pulmonic Svrup. and it is made
into good blood without fermentation or souring
in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
consumption is, they try to do too much: they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chilis, to
stop night sweats, heetie fever, and by so doing
tbey derange the whole digestive powers, locking
up the secre'ions. and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
Dr. Sehenck. in his treatment, does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, ehills. or fever. "Re
move the cause, and they will all stop of their
own accord. Noonecanbe cured of Consump
tion. Liver Complaint. Dyspepsia. Cataarh, Can
ker, Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and stom
ach are made healthy.
If a person has Consumption, ofcourse thelungs
in some way are diseased, either tubercles, ab
scesses, bronchialirntation, pleura adhesion, or
the lungs are a mass of inflammatior and fast de
caying In such eases what must be done' H
is not only tbe lungs that are wasting, but it is
the whole t^idy. The stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood out of food Now the
only chance is to take Sehenek's three medicines,
which will bring up a tone to the stomach, the
patient will begin to want food, it will digest easi
ly and make good blood : then the patient begins
to gain in flesh, anl as soon as the body begins to
grow, the lungs commence to heal up, and the pa
tient gets fleshy ani well. This isthe only way
to cureconsumptvon.
When there is no lung disease, and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Sehenek's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
freely in all billions complaints, as they are per
fectly harmless
Dr. Sehenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs 225
pounds, was to a mere skeleton, in
the very last stage "of Pulmonary Consumption,
his physicianshaving pronounced his case hope
less and abandoned him to hisfcle. lie was cured
by the aforesaid medicines, and since his recovery
many thousands similarly afflicted have used Dr.
Sehenek's preparations with tho same remarkable
success. Futl directions accompanying each,
make it not absolutely necessary to personally see
Dr Sehenck. unless the patients wish their lungs
examined and for this purpose he is professional
ly at his Principal Office. Philadelphia, every
Saturday, where all let ers for advioe must be ad
