Pursuant to public notice, the Dem
cratie O-Hinty Committee met at the
Gazette office, in Bedford, on Monday
last, and adopted the following resolu
tions:
Resolved, That it is the sense of tiiis
Committee that a County Convention
should be called for the purjtose of wa
ging into consideration the propriety
oi altering and revising the rules of tiie
Democratic parly of Bedford county
governing nominations.
Resolved, That such Convention is
hereby called to meet at the Court
House, ill Bedford, ou TUEBUAY iv-
VENtNG, March 1, (Special Court)
and that each election district shall be
entitled to one delegate in said Cuii
veuiioii.
The Democrats of the several dis
tricts of the county are, therefore, here
by notified to meet at their respective
election-places and choose one person to
represent their respective districts in
said Convention.
By order of the County Committee.
E. F. KERR,
17W2 Chairman.
GENERAL PAINE, of Wisconsin, has
expressed a strong desire to be reliev
ed from further service in the Com
mittee of Elections of Congress. He is
di.-gusted with the acts of his associ
ate*. In view of the infamous reports
in the cases of Covode, of Pennsylva
nia, Van Wyck, of New York, and
Wallace of South Carolina, this i not
at all surprising. Generel Paine is a
republican. He has served his country
with distinction in the field, and bears
on his person the marks of terrible
wound) received in battle. He feels
no necessity to commit frauds on the
right of representation in order to testi
fy his devotion to his party. It is
needless to add that John Cessna is a
member of that committee from service
iu which General Paine desires relief.
TUB legislature passed a bill theoth
er day to establish a Metropolitan Po
lice in the city of Philadelphia. The
object of the measure was to take the
control of the police out of the hands of
the Mayor, who is a Democrat, in or
der that It might be placed in the
power of radical politicians who de
sire to use it to elect themselves to
Congress, the State legislature, and
other lucrative offices. This direct
blow at local self-government, howev
er, was destined to fall short of its aim.
Gov. Geary vetoed the bill. His mes
sage returning it to the Senate in which
it originated, is an admit able State
paper and thoroughly Democratic in
tone. We are glad to be able to cotu
in'-nd this act of the Governor. Some
of the radical newspapers are assailing
bin with great bitterness because of
this veto. If he could only be per
suaded to go on ii the good work, we
should feel disposed to forgive hirn
many of his past sins.
TriF. Inquirer, like a drowning man
catching: at a straw, rails out concern
ins the vote of Senator Find lay in re
gard to the publication of a Legislative
Record. If Mr. F. had voted to con
tinuethe old Record, which under the
rule of the Inquirer's party at Harris
burs had grown to be a monstrous
swindle, we would join it in denounc
ing that gentleman. But the proposi
tion for which Mr. Findlay voted was
quite different from what it is repre
sented by the Inquirer. Bergner's old
Record job cost the State some $24,000
per annum. The Record for which
our Senator voted was to cost not more
than SB,OOO, about one third of that of
former years. This was a vote in fav
or of retrenchment, and instead of
denunciation. Mr. Findlay should re
ceive credit, for giving it.
SENATOR REVEI>S, of Mississippi
will soon apply for his seat in the Uni
ted States Senate. He is the colored
gentleman who was elected to that
dignified station, the other day, by the
carpet-bag legislature of Mississippi.—
Our Republican friends in this neigh
(H)riiood will probably be called upon
to imitate the example of their breth
ren in that State. As they expect to
obtain the colored vote, they had bet
ter give that element some representa
tion on their ticket. We suggest that
they nominate one of the Fifteenth A
mendment voters for Associate Judge.
As they pretend to lie so very friendly
to the citizens of African descent, this
suggestion is made to test their sincer
ity.
SENATOR MOKKOW B. LOWRY, of
the State Senate, an out-and out "Re
publican," recently denounced George
Bc.gner, of the Harrisburg Telegraph,
the central organ of the "Republican"
par;y in this State, as and "old State
rob'>er, every ounce of flesh on win se
body had been stolen from the labor of
the tax- >ayers." There is a Dawes in
Congress and a Lowry in the Senate,
and 'he consequence is that some rich
are being told out of the Radical
School.
K- nry D. Foster is spoken of as the

The Democrats of Bedford county
and others who intend to act with the
Democracy in future, assembled in the
Court House, on Monday evening hist,
in Mass Meeting. Notwithstanding
the pouring rain, and the gsneral
cheeriessness of the weather, the Court
room was weil filled.
On motion HON. V,'. G. EICH
OLTZ was elected President.
Geo. Elder, James Northcraft, James

chosen Vice Presidents.
J. E. Noble, A. J, Sansom, J. 11.
Hutton, W. W. Barclay,.J. B. Ander
son and J. J. Powell were elected Sec
retaries.
On motion Mr. B. F. Meyers was
called upon to address the meeting
At the conclusion of his address, Mr.
J no. G. Fisher offered the following
resolutions which were unanimously
adopted
Resolved, By the Democrats of Bed
ford county in Mass Meeting assem
bled, that we re affirm the true, time
honored and well-tried principles of
American Democracy, and especially
the fundamental doctrineof our repub
lican system that "ail governments de
rive their just powers from the consent
of the governed."
Resolved, That as corolary to the
foregoing, the action of Congress in
compelling certain Stall's to adopt a
mend.nuents to the Federal Constitu
tion as a condition precedent to their
representation in that body, thus for
cibly ami fraudulently and corruptly
altering the fundamental law, is anti
republican and subversive of iitxerty as
well as of the stability of government.
Resolved, That we recognize in the
assumption of power over the domes
tic concerns of the States by Congress,
a deep laid plan to erect a consolidated
government, of imperial powers, con
centrated in the hands of an oligarchy,
and that we do most solemnly protest
against tiie usurpationsof the majority
in Congress by which our republican
form of government is rapidly being
changed into a centralized despotism.
Resolved, That the wastefulness, ex
travagance and corruptionsof the pres
ent federal administration, as portray
ed by Mr. Dawes and other leading
Republicans in Congress, requiring the
expenditure of Fifty Millions more of
the people's taxes per annum than the
administration of President Johnson
during its last year, should cause ev
ery right-thinking man to determine
to rebuke those responsible in the pre
mises, by his ballot as well as by his
influence.
Resolved, That the leaders of the so
called Republican party have deliber
ately violated their pledge to their
own followers and to the public made
in the Chicago Grant and Colfax plat
form, namely, that the people of the
States should control and regulate the
Suffrage question, and have, therefore,
utterly forfeited the respect and confi
dence of those who formerly voted
their ticket, that it becomes all
decent men to unite for the over
throw of the infamous pledge-breakers,
such a union >f toe true and faithful
friends of republican government, l*e
ing now entirely feasible since by the
forceful and fraudfn! adoption of the
Fifteenth Amendment, the issues
which lately divided parties are prac
tically, though unfairly, settled, and
new questions, arising from the finan
cial condition of tiie country, the reg
ulation of the currency, system of tax
ation. payment of the public debt and
the foreign policy of the hederal Gov
ernment, are at present claiming par
amount consideration.
Resolved, That the Democrats of
Bedford county will re organize the
party, with a view of- renewing the
contest with the enemies of civil and
religious liberty more vigorously than
ever, that "sink or swim, live or
die, survive or perish," we will up
hold the flag of the Constitution and
battle under it to the end. believing
still that the Devil of Fraud who ha f h
been loosed for a little season, will
soon be chained in the fetters of hi->
own forging.
Resolved, That J. W. Dickenson.
E*q,, be and lie is hereby elected a
delegate to the Democratic State Con
vention for the present year.
K. F. Kerr, Esq., being called upon,
then addressed the meeting in a brief,
but pertinent and argumentative
speech.
The meeting then adjourned.
THE present session of the legislature
does not promise to be propitious to
the mem'ers of the ring. The roos
ters are coming down as if there was a
fire among the rafters of <he capitol.—
There is such a thingas the veto power
in Pennsylvania.
THE Democratic meeting oil Monday
night, was quite a ounces-*, The new
issues on which parties are about to
divide, will make future Democratic
meetings so large that the Court Hoi.se
will not hold them. Mark it!
We have received the annual report
of the trustees and sujieriutendent of
the State Hospital for the Insane at
Harrisburg, for 1869. The number of
patients admitted during the year was
212, of whom 103 were males and 109
females. The number discharged dur
ing the same period was 158, of whom
40 were restored and 42 improved.—
The total of patients treated in this in
stitution si nee its establishment is 2,700.
Of these 1,272 were married, 203 single,
and 210 widowed. Maies, 1,568; fe
males, 1,182. Among the assigned
causes of insanity, ''trouble' figures
most prominently, the number thus
assigned being 324. Ili-health and do
mestic trouble follow next in order.—
There is but one case of "want of oc
cupation," and only 82 eases assigned
to intemperance. In 1,261 cases no
cause was assigned. Of tlie occupa
tions, 001 were farmers, 577 were house
wives, 434 laborers, and 490 had no oc
cupation. There lias been no epidemic
sickness during the year, aud only 28
deaths have occurred.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.
In the U. S. Senate, yesterday, Geor
gia was duly retried as having rati
fied the fourteenth and fifteenth a
mer.dinents. Me-srs. Hill and Miller,
the Senators elected by the Legisla
ture a year ago, are in Washington de
manding admission, but they are hard
ly Radical enough to get in. The Sen
ate discussed the Census bill, and also
Mr. Trumbull's bill to relieve Mem
bers of Congress from the importuni
ties of office-beggars. Two railroad
jobs were rej>orted favorably by Messrs.
Howard and Osborn. Mr. Corbett re
ported favorably the bill to encourage
telegraphic communication between
tiie United States and Asia, by means
or"a submarine cable under the Pacific
Ocean. The Senate listened to eulogies
upon the late Representative Hoag
from Messrs. Sherman and Thurman.
In the House of Representatives four
fro-h railroad jobs were introduced.
An important vote was had on the tar
ill question, which showed that the
free-traders are making a steady gain.
It was upon a resoluiion declaratory of
the sense of the house that no tariff
should be adopted that was not adjus
ted to a revenue standard. It was
laid on the table by a vote of 89 to 77.
Bills were introduced to reduce letter
postage to two cents, and newspaper
postage to one cent; to exempt newspa
pers from operation of the law abolish
ing the franking privilege; to discon
tinuetheFreedmen'sßureau; to author
ize the government to buy all patents
and copyrights; and (by Mr. Arnell of
Tennessee) to "do justice to the female
employes of the government, by giv
ing them the same compensation as
men in like positions." The death of
Mr. itoag was announced with appro
priate tributes, and a committee ap
pointed to accompany the remains to
Ohio.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.
In theUni ted.States Senate,yesterday,
there was an animated debate over Mr.
Kellogg's bill to remove the political
disabilities of several hundred peopie
in the South (most.y ex-rebels profess
ing Radicalism). Mr. Stewart wanted
to introduce a resolution making the
removal general, but at the suggestion
of Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, he with
drew it until a more appropriate occa
sion. Mr. Sumner expressed his dis
gust at this clemency business. He
had received letters from Virginia as
suring him that some of the individu
al-! who had been pardoned recently,
had si nee spoken very disrespectfully of
Congress. In spite of Sumner's re
monstrance. however, the bill was
passed. Mr. Sherman introduced a
resolution having in view the promo
tion of a common standard of interna
tional coinage. Mr. Tipton fathered
another railroad job. The Senate de
bated the census bill until the hour for j
the executive session,
In the House of Representatives
there was a discussion over the Globe
printing job, and some hard things
were said of the expensiveness of the
luxury. Mr. LaOin estimated the cost
of last Friday's issue of the paper at a
bout $1,300, and Mr. Dawes thought
that after it was published it was good
for nothing. Mr. Garfield made a set
speech in favor of abolishing the Globe
altogether. DuringthedebateMr.Voor
hees { Dem), of Indiana, and Mr. Blair
(Rad.), of Michigan, took occasion to
defend the franking privilege against
the assaults of the Postmaster General.
Mr. Ingersoll attempted to introduce
for reference to the Judiciary Commit
tee ajoint resolution proposing a new
amendment to the Constitution, to the
effect that Congress shall have the
power to issue United States notes, and
may make them a legal tender in pay
ment of debts. A Democrat from
Kentucky objected. The House took
up the report of the Committee on e
lections in favor of giving the seat of
Henry D. Foster, of Pennsylvania, to
the contestant, John Covode, and a de
bate ensued. To the consternation of
the Radicals, Mr. Paine, of Wisconsin,
chairman of thecommitfee,aroseandof
fered his resignation. He could not
consent to serve on a committee where
blind partisanship is the sole ruleof ac
tion. Mr. Pa i tie's honorable action cal
led for a high compliment from Mr,
Randall (Dem ) who hoped that the
House would not accept the resigna
tion of so useful a member of the coin,
inittee. Pending the action of the
House, an adjournment was carried.
WASHINGTON, Feb. in.
In the United Slates Senate, yesti r
day, Morton made an elaborate speech
in favor of the Cubans. He was nota
bly severe upon the cruelty of "the
Spanish troops, and remarked that
"the Spanish character has lost nothli g
of tlie atrocious and satanie barbarism
by which it was distinguished intlic war
ill the Netherlands." Mr. Anthony
followed with a vigorous speech, in the
manner of Dawes, against the extrava
gance of the government. Mr. Trum
bull reported a bill admitting Missis
sippi. It admits the State minus the
Virginia restrictions. The Housecen
sus bill was then taken up and discuss
ed, and was enlivened by a severe ex
coriation of Mr. Sumner by Mr. Conk
ling. Th House bill, so persistently
supported by Sumner, was laid on the
table by a vote of of 40 to 9, a signifi-
I cant illustration of the lost power of
j the Massachusetts autocrat over the
i Senate. In the House of Representa
tives the Globe waste was under djs-
I cussion again; hut a motion of Mr.
Dawes to strikeout of tlie appropria
tions the item for Globe reporters was
defeated. The House with partisan
haste, voted to admit John Covode
(Had.; to *" e stat to Vvrncn General
Foster (Dem.) was elected, not even
having the courtesy to Wait for Gener
al Foster to reach Washington to speak
in his own behalf. Mr. Cox attemp
ted to get in a resolution of inquiry lor
information as to the unexpended bal
ance monthly from March, 1869, to Feb
ruary, 1870, but was choked down by a
1 Radical objection. A resolution intro
j duced by General Banks, calling upon
[ the President for information about
the murder of Americans in Havana,
was adopted.
WASHINGTON, I eb. 11.
In the Senate, yesterday, the bill ap
propriating f3,(XJU.QOO to supply defi
ciencies for the naval service was a
mended and passed. After the trans
action of other business the House hill
for the admission of Mississippi was
called up. The question pending was
the amendment proposed by the judi
ciary committee of the Senate to strike
out the proviso imposing conditions of
admission. A long debate ensued,
which continued up to the hour of ad
journment.
In the House, the bill in relation to
the imprisonment of American citi
zens in Great Britain was discussed.
The bill for the relief of the poor of the
District of Columbia was amende*! so
as to allow the Secretary of War to
contract for supplies, where it may be
doneat less cost than by issuing rations,
and agreed to. The consideration of
the legislative appropriation bill was
then resumed. Quite an exciting de
bate ensued.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.
In the Looted States Senate yester
day Mr. Sherman introduced a resolu
tion providing for the immediate re
cognition of the belligerency of the Cu
ban insurgents, and supported it in a
strong speech. In the course of the de
bate which followed, Mr. Sumner re
marked sneeringly that the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations were willing
to report in favor of recognition if a
war existed in Cuba, but up to the pre
sent time they had been unable to oh
tain any facts which indicated the ex
istence of war. Mr. Sherman in re
ply called his attention to the thirty
gunboats built in New York for the
Spaniards on Cuban waters. He con
sented to the reference of his resolu
tion to the Coin in it tee on Foreign Rela
tions. The Senate also discussed the
Franking Privilege and Mississippi
Admission hills. While upon the lat
ter subject, Mr. Drake defended Mr.
Sumner against the aspersions of his
numerous enemies in the Radical
ranks, and berated those who did not
worship him as apostates and consor
ters with Democracy. There was al
so a blackguard tilt between Nye and
Fowler while comparing records as to
the soundness of tiieir Radicalism. In
the Houseof Representatives bills were j
introduced to amend the Bankruptcy j
law, and to provide for the further re- j
duction of the army. After the dispo- j
sal of a number of private bills, the j
House went into Committee on the i
Legislative Appropriation bill. An a
ineudiuent offered by Noah Davis, to
deprive the members of Congress of
their free newspapers and stationary,
was promptly voted down. Both
Houses, before adjournment, listened
to eulogies upon the Hon. B. F. Hop
kins, M C. from Wisconsin, who died
on the Ist of January last.
A NEW DISEASE IN NEW YORK
The N. Y. World, of Saturday, has the
following re/arding the "relapsing fe
ver," a new disease which has lately
appeared In that city. There are thir
ty-two cases of it which are known to
exist in this city at the present time in
the hospitals. The disease has been
sent to those institutions under differ
ent names—typhus, typhoid, and sim
ple fever; but they have proved to be
relapsing fever. The fever has been
prevalent in the workshops of Great
Britain for a great many years. It is
a common disease in England, Ireland,
Scotland, Russia, Poland, and tin l
North German towns. Dr. Norton
does not know how it got here at this
time. It appears thus far to have
made its appearance in places which
were remarkable for overcrowding and
filth. There is a good deal of pain in
the head, which lasts six or seven days.
Then there comes a sudden sweating,
under which the temperature falls quite
low—of course below the normal tem
perature. When the patient is in that
condition lie suffers trom a species of
rheumatic pains, and is left in a very
exhausted condition for five or six
days. Then comes on the relapse, and
the same course of the disease is gone
over again. The patient may become
so exhausted that death may ensue.
The rapid outflow of colored labor
ers from Virginia to the Southern
States has given rise to the erroneous
impression in the Gulf States that the
real cause of the movement is the ditti
euity of the population of Vi ginia to
find food for them, owing to short
crops, dfee. An Alabama paper goes so
far as to say that it remains for the
Southern planters to "save the Virgin
ia negro from the death which squalid
pauperism always has in store for Its
poor victim." From theaccounts giv
en in the Virginia papers it would
seem that the class of colored people
who have bevten induced to go south
from that State do not belong to the
class especially in want of such relief.
They are, generally, the host laborers,
who have never yet found it difficult to
make a living, hut charmed by the
temptations of high wages and warm
weather have been i ndneed to lea vet heir
oldemployers. Very few of the worth
less colored people leave their homes;
they preler to remain and he as lazy as
ever, and hence the many complaints
and apprehensions, especially from
South-side Virginia, regarding the
prospect for making the next crops.
A decision was rendered in the Uni
ted States Supreme Court yesterday in
one of the legal-tender cases. Chief-
Justice Chase delivered the opinion of
the court, sustaining the decision of the
court below, and holding that a con
tract made I*.for? {!:" L--',.* iender luw
could not be discharged in United
States uotes. The opinion is very
long, and discusses at great length the
powers ol Congress. It holds that Con
gress had no right to make govern
ment notes a legal-tender for pre-ex
isting private debts. It does not touch
the question of contracts made since
the law was passed. The opinion was
concurred in by Justices Nelson, Clif
ford, and Field, majority of tbe court.
The three other Justices dissented.

What next? Now comics a new
| thing for brides, in the a. |*ofaplain
gold locket which the bridegroom fas
tens about the neck of his duck and
locks it with a key. The key is put
u|>on his watch-chain, and thus we are
informed, with charming naivete, that
'lmth are constantly reminded of each
omor.' And has it come to this, that a
lock and key are recommended to re
mind newly-married couples of each
other? We had-supjH-ed that chintz,
chignons, loves of bonnet, switches,
hoop-skirts, and so forth, would fur
nish a cons ant reminder of his captiv
ity to the husband, and late hours a
like reminder to the wife. But this
is an age of invention.
Smuggling dry goods through the
mails has taken on huge proportion.
Laces, furs, etcetra. put in the often
est appearance. But books and jewel
ry are not uncommon. Packages con
taining such articles are sent from Eu
rope and Canada. A Mrs. Brother
ton, milliner acknowledges to a smug
gle amounting to SSOO. A member of
the Chicago Board of Education was
caught at smuggling books. A gross
of hymn-books, addressed to Brigham
Young, Salt Lake City, was also stop
ped at Chicago. So law cannot elimi
nate rascality from nature after all.
The advoca esof woman suffrage are
to have an enemy they little anticipa
ted. Some of the most prominent la
dies in Washington, among them Mrs.
General .Sherman and Mrs. Admiral
Dahlgren, are about to take active
measures in opposition to the move
ment to secure the ballot to women.—
One lady recently appetred before the
Senate committee and made a strong
argument against suffrage. This fire
in the rear is likely to havea demoral
izing effect upon the new recruits in
Miss Anthony's army.
Much to the confounding of the ge
ologists, human footprints have been
discovered in the same strata with the
tracks of birds iu the Turner's Falls
rocks. What will become of present
theories if it be proved that man is co
eval with the frightful semi-reptile
birds of which we iiave such Irightful
fancy pictures? As animate creation
was pretty much of a inuchuess in
those days, may we not indulge the
hope that man, then, was a cross be
tween a bat and a crocodile?
A man in Auburn, Me., in last sea
sou's hay harvest put nve ions of green
grass, just from the mower, into a
tight bin in his barn, to test a newly
recommended method of curing hay.
i'ne grass was snugly stored away and
covered with several tons of straw, ac
cording to recommended practice. On
opening the bin this winter it was
found the entire lot spoiled—not fit e
ven for bedding for horses.
It is reported that government >rti
eials are going around in the coun
try investigating every receipt
book, bill, etc. The reason of this
is to see if the projier revenue
stamp is adjusted or not. If the latter
be the case, a tine is imposed upon the
holder of the paper, who, perhaps
through neglect, has omitted to have
the paper. Business men would do
well therefore to examine their papers
in order that they may not be victimi
zed.
The captain of a ship at San Fran
cisco evaporated some quicksilver in
his vessel, in order to destroy the rats,
which was effectually accomplished.—
Tue ship was then ventilated, and the
crew went on board at night to sleep.
In the morning all were found to lie
salivated—the fumes of thequicksilver
not having been thoroughly eradica
ted. They narrowly escaped the fate
of the rats.
A Pennsylvania negro has been elect

sumption, Liver Complaint, and Dyspepsia, if Cta
ken accor iiug to directions They are all three
to be tafceu at the same time. They cleanse the
stomach, relax tne liver, and put it to work : then
the appetite oecumes good ; tne food digests and
maKesgoud blood; the patient begins to grow in
flesh; tne diseased mat er ripens in the lungs,
and tne patient outgrows the disease and gets
well. Tnisis the ouly way to cure consumption.
To these three medicines Dr J H. Schenck, of
Puitadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment ot putin mary consumption. The Pul
rnuuic Syrup ripens tne rnoroid matter in the
lung I, mture turows it off by an easy expectora
Hon, for waeu the phlegm or matter is ripe, s
siigui CJUgn will iorow it off. and the patient ha
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To do tnis, tne oeaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills must be freely used to oleau-e the stomach
and liver, so that tne Palmonic Syrup and the
loud will make good blood
Scneuck's Maudrake Pills act upon the liver,
removing all jbstructions,relax the ducts of the
gall-oladder, the Dile startsfreely, and the liver
la soon relieved ; the stools will show what the
Piiisoau do ; nothing has ever Oeen invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly poison which is very dan
gerous to use unless with great care), that will :
unlock the jail bladder and starts the secretions
of tne li ver like So henck's Mandrake Pills
Liver 0 ouiplaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption.
Sonenek eSeaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and Alterative, and the Alkali in the Seaweed,
whioh this preparation is made of, assists the
stomach to mruw out the gastric juico to dissolve
the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made
into good olood withou tfermentation or soaring ■
in the stomach.
Tne great reason why physicians do not cure
consumption is, they try to do too much; they i
give me Jicine to atop the cough, to stop chills, to
stop night iweats. hectic fever, and by so doing ,
they derange the whole ligestive powers, locking
up the secre'ioDS, and eventually the patient •
sinks and dies.
Dr. Scheuck, in his treatment,does not try to
stop a cough, nigh t sweats, chills, or lever. Re
move the cause, and they wi 11 all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of Consump
tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Catnarh, Can
ker. Ulcerated Tnruat, unless the li vac and stom
ach are made healthy.
If a person has Consumption, of course the lungs
in some way are liseased. either tubercles, ab
scesses,bronchialirritation. pleura adhesion, or
the lungs are a mass of tnflammatior sod fast de
caying In such oases what must b one? It
is not ouly toe lungs that are wasting •jt it is
the whale body, The stomach and I i ver have lost
their power to make blood out of food. Now tbe
only chance is to take Schenck's three medicines,
wbich will bring up a tone to tbe stomach, the
patient will begin to want food, irwiUd'*-"'easi
ly and make go ><l blood ; then the patient begins
to gain in flesh, and as soon as the body begins to
griw, the lungscommenoe to heal up, and the pa
tientgets fleshy ani well. This is the only way
to cureconsumption.
When ihore is n>l ing lisease, and only Liver
Complaint ind Dyspepsii, Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic and M indr ike Pills are sufficient without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take tbe Mandrake Pills
freely in all billions complaints. as they are per
fectly harmless
Dr, Schenck. who has opjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs 225
pounds, was wasted awav to a mere skeleton, in
the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption,
bis phy doianehai ing pronounced bis case hope

by the aforesaid medicines, and since hisrecovery
many thousands similarly afflicted have used Dr.
Schenck's preparations with tbo same remarkable
success Full directions accompanying each,

examined, and for this purpose he is professional
