THE SITU,-l'l.*Ul,Ay CASE.
The Seal Given te Findlay.
We gave, last week, an outlineof the
features of the Find!ay-Scull contest,
in the State Senate, in reference to the
prima facie right to the seat in that
body for the Twentieth Senatorial dis
trict, composed of the counties of Bed
ford, Fulton and Somerset. The whole
case, in a nut-she!i, was just this: The
return judges of Somerset county had
refused to count the vote of Allegheny
township, in that county, because the
return judge for that township brought
to their meeting the taffy paper , in
stead of the return. The district return
judges, however, counted the vote of
Allegheny township. If the vote of
that district had been rejected, Scull
would have been elected by 17 majori
ty. It was counted and Findlay was
returned as elected by 21 majority—
The question of the power of the dis
t: ict return judges to count the vote of
Allegheny tp., was argued at great
length in the Senate, and finally, on
Wtdnes lay evening of last week, the
sense of the Senate on the subject was j
tested by a vote on a resolution to ad
rait Mr. Scull to the seat. The resolu
tion wa- lost by a tie vote, 15 to 15, two
Republican Senators, Messrs. Billing
felt and Lowry voting with the Demo
coats against it. The effect of this vote
was to rule Mr. Scull out of court, and
to leave Mr. Findlay as theonlv claim
ant to the seat. Accordingly, on the
next day the latter was sworn in and
now occupies the seat.
The reader must not understand from
this that the matter has'come to an er.d.
No sooner had Mr. Findlay taken his
scat, than Mr. Scull filed a petition set
ting forth an undue election and claim
ing that Mr. Find lay's majority was
made up of illegal votes. The former
contest was as to which of the two was
to be given the seat prima facie, that is '
en the face of the returns. New a con- j
test i- to be made wnicli involves an
inquiry into the character of those re
turns and the legality of thevotes cast
for the respective candidates.
This investigation will be a very ex
pensive one to the tax-payers, witnesses
will be required to attend at Harris
burg. and much work will have to be
performed by the Sergeant-at-arms of
the Senate and by the committee
drawn to try the case. Why Mr. Scull,
who now holds an office the salary of
which is much greater than the pay of
a Senator, -hould beso anxious to get
into the Senate as to rake over the dis
trict for a few illegal votes, seems an
enigma to some people. The reason
for his persistence in the matter is well
known to the initiated. It was a part
of the contract b tvveen himself and
Cessna, when the latter obtained Stutz
man's withdrawal and arranged the
nomination of Scull, at Philadelphia,
that he (Scull) should resign the As
sessorship of Internal Revenue in or
de>'that Cessna might fill the office
w.lii a Franklin county man. Tiiere
are at least two Franklin county poli
ticians who demand this office at the
hands of Mr. Cessna. One of them is
Mr. Cook, of the Repository, the other
i- a Mr. Ritchey. It is this Franklin
county pressure on Cessna that is driv
ing Mr. Scull up to the work of con
testing Find lay'a election. The Phila
delphia bargain is to be carried out,
which cannot be done if Scui! fails toget
into the Senate.
There can Ik* no doubt of the fairness
and legality of Mr. Findlay's election.
There were, we are satisfied, more
illegal and fiaudulent votes polled for
Scull than for Findlay. Rut these votes
must now be ascertained and proved.—
If Democrats will exercise but ordina
ry activity and care in looking up such
votes, we have no doubt that a suffi
cient number can be found to swell Mr.
Findlay's majority, toat least onehun
dred. IF, therefore, cation the active
Democrats in each <uid every election
district in the counties of Bedford, Rat
ion and Sunersef to yather alt the infor
mation they can ohtain in regard to illi
yat Republican votes cast at the late elec
tion, and forward such information at
once, by letter, to Hon. Hiram Findlay,
Senate, Ilarrisbury. The names of per
sons under the age of 21 years, or per
son- not having paid a Stale or county
tax assessed within two years next pre
ceding the last election, of persons not
having a legal residence in the election
district, or in the State, at th.-'last elec
tion, of persons not registered and who
failed to make the affidavits required
by the Registry Law, ie., who voted
for Mr. S'*ull, and also the names of
Re ir.t uats \ hoe soLs vvererejectul
and the reasons for their rejection, with
names of witnesses by whom .such
votes, or such ejection of votes, may
be proved, should be ascertained and
forwarded as above. L'ntessthis be dove
immediately, soy within the next ten
days, it will be of no avail. lAt this
work, then, be performed at once.

CESSXA THE DISIXIOXIST.
j Virginia, after having been re-con
j structed in the latest and most appro-
I ved fashion, having elected a carpet
| bagger Governor, chosen a negro Con
! gressman and sent a number of negroes
to the legislature, and having eaten,
dirt by the bushel in ratifying the
Fifteenth amendment, is still excluded
from the Union. A bill for her re-ad
\ mission has been under discussion in
Congress ever since the commence
ment of the session and still hangs fire
in the Senate. The radicals in Con
gress are divided on the subject The
extreme ring, led by Sumner in the
Senate, and by Butler in the House,
opjiose the admission of Virginia as at
present re constructed. They propose
to exact new and more severe condi
tions from the people of that persecuted
state. They are not satisfied with the
low humiliation and abject obedience
of the high-minded anil honorable
Virginian. They must seehim bound to
their political car with bands of iron be
fore they are willing to allow his state
representation in Congress. The mod
erates under the lead of Trumbull in
the Senate and Bingham in the House,
are ready to accept the-sacrifices of Yir
gina as a complete atonement for her
past sins, and favor her immediate re
admission. Bingham's bill declaring
the State entitled to representation in
Congress passed the House, on Friday
last, alter a prolonged and bitter oppo
sition. The radical delegation from
this State divided equally on the ques
tion. Messrs. Armstrong, Cake, Gill
filian, Mercur, Seofield, Morrell, My
ers and Packer voted yea ; Messrs. Cess-
na,Dickey, Donley, Kelley, Negley, O'-
Niell, Phelps and Townsend voted nay.
Stick a pin right here. Let the people
of the Sixteenth Congressional District
understand that their representative,
Mr. Cessna, votes against the restora
tion of Virginia to the Union, in spite
of the recommendation of President
Grant. The blatant and brawlingdem
agogue who was wont to bellow for the
"Union," now votes in Congress to
keep the Union dissolved. He is
a disunionist. He is alike faithless to
the party in whose bosom he was
nurtured, and to the cause which he
has latterly professed to uphold. His
treason to the Democracy arc! his infi
delity to the cause of a restored Union
are akin in every respect. The fact is
he cannot be true to anything except
his own selfish and ambitious aims*
But we dislike to Ik personal. We
would only like to know what the"U
nion men" par excellence, the Republi
cans, of this Congressional district,
think of their representative voting to
keep Virginia out of the Union. Are
they with Grant, and Trumbull and
Bingham and Farnsworth, or with
Sumner and Butler and the carpet-bag
ger Whittemore, and little John Cess
na? Gne of these parties must be
wrong. Which is it? If the radical
newspapers of this district are not
struck dumb by this vote of Cessna's,
they will give us their opinions on the
subject. Men and brethren, let us hear
from you!
A GREAT VICTORY.
The legislature met, in joint conven
tion, on Wednesday, the 12th in-t.,
and elected Gen. W. W. Irwin, of
Beaver county, State Treasurer for the
ensuing year. R. W. Mackey, Esq.,
was the caucus nominee of the Repub
licans, but his management of the
Treasury had caused so much dissatis
faction that a number of Republican
Senators and Representatives refused
to support him. These united with
the Democrats on Gen. Irwin, as an
independent candidate, who was elec
ted by a vote of 70 to 61 for Mackey.
There were three ballots. On the
first the Democrats voted for I>. O.
Barr, of Pittsburg, who had received
the caucus nomination, giving him ho
votes. On the second ballot all the
Democrats but two voted for Irwin.
On the third, the Democrats vot<d
solid for Irwin. Fifteen Republicans
voted lor Irwin on the third and last
ballot. This is a great victory over
the Treasury ring and cannot fail to
redound to the benefit of the tax-rid
den people of the Commonwealth.
At the annual meeting of Plymouth
Church, last week, it was resolved, by a
vote of 80 to 2b, that candidates for
membership should not hereafter be re
quired to assent to the Confession of
Faith. Mr. BEECHER himself advoca
ted the resolution with his customary
earnestness, and said that the former
rule, which excluded Univerbalist and
other unorthodox Christians from the
church, was unjust, and should be re
pealed. It thus appears that Mr.
Beecher is determined to carry into
practice the theory of the unimpor
tance of creeds which he recently pro
claimed in his new journal. Plymouth
Church is henceforth to he a church
without a creed, where Universalist
and Presbyterian, Mohammedan and
Buddhist can fraternize together.—
Doubtless the Congregation will be
largely recruited from among tho.se
who, like Mr. Beecher, regard theolo
gy as a matter of no consequence; but
the few orthodox members which it
now includes will hardly be willing to
continue their membership—A*. Y,

THE TRAGEDY I.V PARIS.
I All Paris is in violent agitation on
account of the killing of one of the ed
itors of Rochefort's newspaper, the
Marseillaise , by Prince Pierre Napole
on, the cousin of the Emperor, on
Monday of last week. The paper had
contained a gross libel on the Prince,
and he sent Roehefort a message that
if he would not send a second to his
house,there would bean answer return
ed of "'not at home." The Prince has re
lated to Cassagnuc, the journalist, how
the tragedy occurred. "M. Fouville
and M. Noir came to my residence
with a menacing air, and their hands
in their pockets, and presented a let
ter from M. Pascal Gronsett. I said.
'lt is Roehefort and not his creatures
that I seek.' 'Read the letter,' replied
Noir. I had my hand on my pistol in
my pocket. 'Are you responsible for
it?' I asked. At this I received a slap
in the face from Noir, when I drew
my revolver and fired at him. Fou
ville crouched behind a chair, and,
from the protection it afforded, aimed
his revolver at me, but be could not
get it off. I fired at him while in that
position, when he ran out of the room.
He stopped in the next room, ami a
gain turned his pistol towards me. I
fired at him again and he fled."
The fire of the Prince was fatal. He
is now in the hands of the police, to
whom he delivered himself up imme
diately. It may well be imagined that
the enemies of the empire will make
the most out of this tragic event, in
or ler to provoke the people to its ov
erthrow. The pi.-tol shot of Prince
Pierre may be the first blow that will
end in the downfall of the Bonaparte
dynasty. This, however, would be
quite as illogical as the causes of many
other popular commotions. Prince
Pierre Napoleon is a genuine demo
crat, and, perhaps, a much more sin
cere friend of liberty than Roehefort
and his faction. He comes by his
love of democratic ideas in a legiti
mate way. He is a son of that Lucien
who would not abandon his republican
opinions to accept a crown from the
first Emperor. The Prinze has re
mained, throughout an adventurous
and romantic life, true to the principles
in which he was reared. As a mem
ber of the Constituent Assembly dur
ing the Republic, lie favored the most
extreme democratic views, and voted
almost con>tantly with the Mountain.
Under the Empire, he has more than
once shown his extremely intractable
republican temper, much to the dis
pleasure of his imperial cousin. Though
bearing the title of Prince, he Is not re
garded as a member of the Imperial
family, and is rarely seen in the Tulle
ries.
Nevertheless, this event cannot fail
to most deeply affect the Emperor.—
Although he cannot be in any way
made responsible for the acts of this
member of the family, yet the name
of Napoleon will not escape the loud
est denunciations from those who will
rejoice at this new opportunity for ag
itation. Whether the Prince be ac
quitted, or dismissed with a fine, the
enemies of the Emperor wilt not fail
to employ every art to arouse the Pa
risian populace against the imperial
government. The immense throng,
estimated at fifty thousand persons,
that attended the funeral of Noir, at
test the agitation which has been e
voked by the tragic deed on that im
pressionable population.
The event could not have fallen out
more inopportunely for the Emperor.
It is hut a few days since a general am
ie sly was proclaimed, allowing Ledru
Rollin and his banished compatriots to
return. A liberal ministry had been
placed in power, and a new chapter has
been opened in the history of the Em
pire of Napoleon 111. The Empress
Eugenie had returned from tiie East
laden with the relics of former centu
ries and with the richesof Egypt and A
rabia, after presiding over a new tri
ll in l>ll of French genius in the opening
of the Suez Canal. Now comes this fatal
pistolshot, publicopinion is violently a
roused, and many a wise scheme of di
plomacy has been wracked. An editor is
slain by a Prince lin jierial. and France
is convulsed from centre to circumfer
ence. In former centuries such an e
ver.t would have been dismissed with
indifference. Rut now it shakes the
most strongly entrenched throne in
Eu rope. Patriot.
Rochefort's paper, the Marseillaise,
was published in mourning in Paris,
and contained a characteristic card ,
signed by the editor, who alludes
to the killing of M Victor Noir as
murder, and denounces the whole
Bonaparte family. The next issue
was confiscated by the authorities.—
M. Fouville has published in the col
umns of the Marseillaise his account of
the killing of M. Noir by Prince
Pierre Bonaparte. The latter is re
ported to have heaped in-ults upon
his unwelcome visitors, denouncing
Rochefort, Gronrset and their associ
ates as carrion. M. Fouville further
charges, in direct contradiction of
Prince Pierre Bonaparte, that the lat
ter first slapped Noir's face, then shot
him, and immediately afterwaid com
menced shooting at Fouville. The
latter, imagining himself in a trap,
beat a hastv retreat.

CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.
Congress reassembled yesterday.
In the Senate, Mr. Cattell introduced
a resolution favoring the including of
the annexation of British Columbia a
mong the subject of negotation with
Great Britain. Dills were introduced
by Mr. Stewart, extending the protec
tion of the Civil Rights Act to the
Chinese; also abolishing franking, and
establishing a Government telegraph
system; by Mr. Williams, to provide
for the redemption of greenbacks in
coin, at the rate of $1 in coin for £1 20
in greenbacks. The bill for the admis
sion of Virginia was considered, and
after an executive sessiou, the Senate
adjourned.
In the House, bills were introduced
by Mr. Dickey, to exempt farmers and
gardeners from paying brokers' tax on
their sales; by 31 r. Lawrence, to a
ineiul the Homestead law in favor of
soldiers; by Mr. Asper, to extend the
privileges of the National Banking
act; by Mr. Wells, to repeal the bank
ruptcy laws; by Mr. Palmer, to estab
lish free banking; by Paine, to appor
tion representatives, making the num
ber 300 and for theadmission of Virgin
ia, and by Mr. Johnson, declaring the
right of States to protect themselves a
gainst the effects of Chinese immigra
tion. Mr. Bingham offered a resolu
tion, declaring Virginia entitled to
representation in Congress, and mov
ed the previous question, which was
seconded. The main question was
then ordered—yeas, GS; nays f>S. Mr.
Benjamin, of Mo., moved to reconsid
er the vote ordering the main question.
On this motion there was a tie vote,
and the speaker giving bis vote in the
negative, the motion was rejected.—
Subsequently, Mr. Paine said there
was an error in making up the result,
Mr. Hoar having voted yea, and his
vote not having been recorded. The
vote was counted accordingly, and on
the recurrence of the question, shall the
main question be ordered, the vote
stood, yeas, GG; nays 80, and the bill
was laid over. 18 Republicans voted
yea. After some further business the
House adjourned.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.
Virginia was the theme in both
Houses of Congress yesterday. In the
Senate the debate was continued, and
au effort of the ultras to procure the
postponement of the lull was defeated,
25 to 26 -a number of Radicals voting
with the Democrats in the negative.
A discussion on Drake's infamous a
mendmetit followed; Mr. Williams, of
Oregon—one of the ablest of the Radi
cal Senators—giving it a complete rid
ding; but the arrival of a message from
the President prevented action. The
question came up in the House upon
the report of a new bill from the Re
construction Committee; a bill which
Mr. Eldrige, of Wisconsin, stigmatized
as abominable. It was recommitted in
order to be printed, and will come up
again to-day. Among the important
business in the Senate was the notice of
a bill by Mr. Sumner to authorize the
refunding and consolidation of the na
tional debt, to extend banking facili
ties, and to establish specie payments.
Mr. Sherman, from the Finance Com
mittee, reported, as a substitute for the
various propositions relating to the
currency before the committee, a bill
providing for the i-sue of $l-3.000,000
more national bank-note currency in
place of an equal amount of three per
cent, certificates, to be retired. Also,
for free banking on a gold basis, the
banks to be allowed to issue gold notes
to the extent of ninety per cent, of the
bonds deposited. No provision is made
for funding. In the House of Repre
sentatives several bills and resolutions
of no special interest were presenter!.
The proceedings concluded with a gen
eral debate in the Committee of the
Whole on the negro and finance.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.
In the United States Senate yester
day, Mr. Sumner introduced his new
finance bill. Mr. Conkling presented
the resolutions of tlie Legislature of
New York, rescinding the ratification
of the fifteenth amendment, and ac
companied them with a sneering com
mentary. The debate on the Virginia
bill was resumed, all great guns on the
radical side participating pro and con.
Sumner fought desperately for further
exclusion, but the debate shows that a
majority of his party in the Senate are
opposed to him. No vote was reach
ed.
In the House, the League Island
job was discussed for an hour without
any conclusion, and Mr. Farnworth's
Virginia bill then came up for consid
eration. Speeches* were made by
Farnsworth and Paine on the Radi
cal side, and by General Morgan for
the Democrats. Without action, the
House adjourned. The Virginia mud
dle will probably bother 'ongress for
several days to e >me. Butler has not
yet opened hi* batteries upon the Grant
faction ot his party,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.
In botli lloustB of Congre-s yester
day the Virginia exclusion question
was debated without reaching a final
vote. The Senate discussion was made
unusually Interesting hy a fierce set-to
between Trumub!) find Sunnier, in
whleh the latter charged the Western
Senator with lukcwurmness in, and e
ven apostacy to the "great cause" of
Radicalism. Mr. Trumbull retorted hy
ridiculing Sumner's pretensions to the
leadership of the party. The Senate
was delighted to witness the writhings
oftheir big bully under the scalping
knife of the Illinois brave. Diake's
rascally amendment to return Virgin
ia to military government, if at any
time i|fter admission it should repudi
ate Radiealisin, was voted down, 11 to
4">. Mr. Edmunds introduced a test
oath amendment, which was under
consideration when the Senate went
into executive session. The House de
bate was distinguished by a logical
speech from Fernaudo Wood and an a
musing passage between Logan and
Lawrence of Ohio, The bill is to be
brought to a vote at 3 o'clock to-day.
In addition to the Virginia matter in
the Senate, the lengthy Mr. Pratt de
livered a lengthy and dry argument in
support of a bill extending to State
•courts, the admiralty jurisdiction now
exercised by Federal courts, and Mr.
Ramsey reported a joint resolution
providing for aiding the construction
ol an American line of steamships be
tween New York and Europe. In the
House Mr. Willard (Rad.), of Ver
mont,in reduced buncombe resolutions,
favoring economy and deprecating the
purchase of any more foreign territory
—St. Domingo or otherwise, and Mr.
Mungen made a personal explanation
relative to his repudiation speech, for
which he claimed t tie entire responsi
bility.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15,
The House was engaged during the
whole of yesterday on the bill to ad
mit Virginia into the Union. After a
protracted debate, the amendment of
Mr. Wittimore, of South Carolina, im
posing a penalty for false swearing by
members of the Legislature was re
jected, after which Mr. Bingham's sub
stitute was adopted by 98 yeas to 95
nays. The bill as amended was then
passed by yeas 143, nays 49. The
House then adjourned until Monday.
In the Senate the joint resolution in
regard to Virginia admission, pending
from the previous day, was taken up.
A long debate ensued, and several a
mendments were offered and rejected.
One, however, offered by Mr. Willey,
of West Virginia, was adopted, requir
ing the members and officers of the
Virginia Legislature to take the oath
prescribed in the third section of the
fourteenth amendment, but allowing
the immediate admission of the State.
A night session was held, and the sub
ject farther discussed. The Senate re
ceived the bill that had been passed by
the House, but laid it aside without
action, andeontinued the consideration
of its own bill. The Senate adjourn
ed, at 10.30 P. M., until Monday, hav
ing agreed to take a vote at 3 o'clock
P. M. on that day.
On New Year's day three children,
sons of Mr. Joseph Whyle, a respecta
ble laboring man, residing near Pom
ton, in Passaic county, N. J., at the
base of Wynockie mountain, left home
for the purpose of "going nutting" in
the woods on the mountain. It was
four o'clock when they left home, so
th it their failure to return at nightfall
occasioned but little alarm. After that
however, their continue i absence ren
dered (he distracted parents almost
frantic. The fearful rain storm which
prevailed during the night and part of
the next day- fearfully intensified the
feelings of the bereaved father and
mother, inasmuch as their little darl
ings and not yet been seen or heard
from. On Monday a search was made
by a number of the country people,
but nothing could be discovered of the
whereabouts of the missing children,
whose ages were respectively ten, seven
and five years. The entire neighbor
hood at length joined in the search,
and it was not till Tuesday last the
mystery was solved. The innocent
trio were found lying dead, side by
side, on the south side of the moun
tain, some ten or eleven miles from
their home. Jt was quite thickly cov
ered with timber where the bodies
were discovered. From the appear
ance of the latter it is ihougnt that the
children existed for several days on
the nuts they had gathered previous to
teing benighted, and having lost their
way were overtaken by physical ex
haustion and starvation, which result
ed in death. Their bodies were re
moved to the home of their heartbro
ken parents, for whom the entire com
munity evinces the deepes. sympathy.

the world moves fast, and the greatest
changes take place within a very short
time. Less than ten years ago the ne
groes had no social or political rights
with the white men. They are now
equal with the whites, and in the
South superior, so far as our Radical
Government can make them so. An
event occurred at the White House on
New Year's day which shows how
"colored folks" understanding that an
order had been given that they were
not to have the honor of a reception by
the President until after the "white
folks" had beet: received, rebelled at
litis invidious distinction, and made a
great noise at such a violation of the
Chicago platform and the principles ( f

B cie;ui:'j BUI tn onic SYRUP,
eaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, wilicurt.Con
sumption , Liver Complaint, and Dyspej si a, if ta
ken according to directions They are all three
to De taken at the same time. They cleanse the
stomach, relax the liver, and put it to work :then
the appetite becomes good; the food digests and
makes good blood ; the patient begins to grow in
flesh; me diseased tuatier ripens in the lungs,
and me patient outgrows the disease and gets
weii. 'inis is the only way lo cure consumption.
To these three medicines Dr J. H.Schenck. of
Philadelphia, owes hisunrivalied success in the
treatment oi pulmonary consumption. The Pul
mouic Syrup ripen? the morbid matter in the
lungs, nature throws it off'by an easy expectora
tlou, for when the phiegm or matter is ripe, a
slightcough will throw it off, and the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills must be freely used to cleause the stomach
and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the
food will make good blood
Sohenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
removing allobstructious,relax the ducts of the
gall-bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver
is soon relieved ; the stools will show w hat the
Pills can do ; nothing has ever been invented ex
cept calomel ja deadly poison which is very dan
gerous to use unless with great care), that will
unlock the gall-bladder and starts the secretions
oftholiverlike Schenck's Mandrake Pills
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption.
Sohenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the Alkali in the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made of, assists the
stomach to throw out the gastric juice to dissolve
the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made
iutogood blood withoutferinentation or souring
in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
consumption is, they try to do too much; thoy
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to
stop night sweats, hectic fever, aud by so doing
they derange the whole digestive powers, locking
up the seere'ions, and eventually the patient
sink? and dies.
Dr. Schenck, in his treatment .does not try to
stop a cougtv.-night sweats, chills, or fever. Re
move the cause, and they will all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured oi Cousutnp
tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Cataarh, Can
ker, Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and stom
ach are made healthy.
If a person has Consumption, ofeourse thelungs
in some way are diseased, either tubercles, ah
soesses, bronchialirritation. pleura adhesion, or
the lungs are a mass of iiiflamiuatior and fust de
caying In such cases what must be done' It
is not only the luDjts that are wasting, but it is
the whole body. Ibestoinach and liverhavelost
their power to make blood out of food Now the
only chance is to take Schenck's three medicines,
which will bring up a tone to the stomaoh, the
pstitnt will begin to want food, i t will digest easi
ly and make good blood : then the patient begins
to gain in flesh, and as soon as the body begins to
grow, the lungscommenoe to heal up, and the pa
tient gets fleshy and well. Thisisthe only way
to ou re consumption
When there is no lung disease, and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Sohenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient without
the Pulmonic tiyrup lake the Mandrake Pills
freoly in allhillious complaints as they are per
fectly harmless.
Dr.Sohenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past. an,l uow weighs 225 !
pounds, was waared away to a mere skeleton, in
the very laststage of Pulmonary Consumption, j
his physioianshav ing pronounced his case hope- '
less and abandoned him to his fat e. He was cured ;
by the aforesaid medicines, and since hisrecovery
many thousandssimilarly afflicted have used Dr
Schenck sPToparations with tho same remarkable j
