AMES AKD REVF.I.I.
The radicals are now in the midst of
their felicitations over thecompletesuc
cess of reconstruction. They may cou
templatein its full proportions the great
work which was begun by Charles
Sumner and Thaddeus Stevens in re
venge of personal injuries; by the one
because of the burning of his property
during the war, and by the other on
account of the blow received from
Brooks. What they left unfinished
has been concluded by the malignant
Butler. To the personal hatred which
has auimatc-d the hearts of these three
men does the country owe this curse.
Reconstruction is now producing its
fruits. While one of the premature
spawn of this coition of the sword and
the negro ballot, the carpet-bagger
Whittemore, is being ejected from the
halls of Congress, the vagrant negro
preacher, Revels, and Ames, the
brigadier general, are abont to make
their entrance. The mind that is not
-hocked by these apparitions in the
Senate Chamber of the United States
must have been sadly corrupted by
radical teachings and practices. Re
vels after his wanderings, aud his
prowlings among the lambkins of
many a black fioeK, turns up in time
for United States Senator. Ames after
carrying the elections in Mississippi
by the sword ; after putting his dra
goons in the election board, and his
creatures .in the legislature, lias re
ceived the reward of all his labors. In
these two —the vagabond negro
minister and the military sat
rap —is personified the whole scan
dalous and wicked work of reconstruc
tion. Revels comes to the Senate of
the United States with the certifi
cate of his election signed by Brigadier
General Ames. The latter has wrench
ed his election from the negro legisla
ture of Mississippi by his sword.—
Neither of them is a citizen of thai
State, and some radicals, not yet pre
pared to accept the disgraceful situa
ion, insist that under the Bred Scot)
decision, Revels is not a citizen of th<
United States. Ames represents noth
ing but the army and the principle oi
servitude and of brute force. His ad
mission to a seat in the Senate is th
deepest insult to popular government
that radicalism in its hatred of the
people has yet invented. The negro
preacher survives all his infamous ad- j
ventures aud throws aside the clerical
garment which he has defiled to put
on the robe of a Senatcr of the r Tnited
States. The brigadier who, Gesler
like, planted the banner of oppression j
in Mississippi, has escaped the bullets
of his victims to stalk booted and
spurred into the Senate chamber. — j
The appearance of the Gaul in the Sen- I
ate of lloine was met by the conscript
fathers with dignity and pride. The
degraded American Senate welcome
this proconsul from the negro pro
vince of Mississippi, who exhibits cre
dentials covered all over with oppres
sion and crime.
Left to themselves the negroes of
Mississippi would never have dreamed
of returning this black bird of passage
to the Senate. But they were assured
that they could do nothing that would
fill the souls of the Butlers, Samners,
Wilsons and Chandlers with such
ecstatic delight us the appearance of a
stray negro in the seat once occupied
by Jefferson Davis. The negroes were
made the tooL of these malignant mas
ters. They never could have conceiv
ed the subtle and refined revenge of
which their radical half cousins of the
north are capable. They never, it
must be confessed, could be guilty of
half the meanness implied in this act.
In this straggling negro the radical
leaders wanted to show the world how
completely they have degraded the
cultivated and intelligent white peo
ple of the South.
In the admission of Ames they pro
pose to insult the whole people.—
Through him they mean to show how
effectually they have stifled the spirit
of liberty in this land. Ames had
scarcely completed his villanous work;
he had hardly done calling the roll of
his vassals in the Mississippi legisla
ture, until they were summoned to
choose him a iSenator of the United
States.
Revels ami Ames! These two
names are at this hour the most odious
that rise to the lips of every lover of
decent liberty in the land. They rep
resent the degradation to which the
nation Is being reduced by a party
with whose leaders no villany is too
gross. These two individuals are the
representatives of military power and
of the ignorance and servility of the
negroes of the South. They come to
the Senate of the United States at a
time when that body lias fearfully de
generated. They enter a chamber
which, at this day, cannot count five
men who deserve the name of states
men, or even of sagacious politicians.
The admission of the military satrap
and of the straggling negro will show
that they have miscalculated in imag
ining that the American people is dead
to every insult that their stupidity
and malice may suggest.
A BILI. FOR THE sißirsATios or
THE PEOEXE.
What was frequently predicted in
these columns in regard to the real
purpose of the authors of the Fifteenth
Amendment, is now in the course of
speedy verification. Mr. Morton, in
the United States Senate, has presen
ted a bill of pains and penalties for
the enforcement of the Amendment,
which utterly ignores the right of the
people of the Several States, through
their legislatures, to adopt rules for
the regulations of elections, and as
sumes that Congress, in common with
the legislatures, possesses the power to
make such rules. Mr. Bingham, lu
the House of Representatives, has of
fered a similar proposition. But the
Morton aud Bingham bills, outrageous
though they be, are innocent in
comparison with the following which
is now under consideration in Con-
gress:
"An Act to enforce the Fifteenth A
mendment to the Constitution.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States
of America, in Congress assembled:
SECTION" 1. It shall be the duty of the
Secretary of the Interior to appoiut, or
cause to be appointed, three Commis
sioners for each election district of the
several Congressional districts of the
United States, to enforce the provisions
of the Fifteenth Amendment to the
Constitution. The said Commission
ers for such purpose shall have thesole
right to decide on the qualifications of
all voters who shall ober to vote for
members of Congress or Klectors for
President and Vice President, and
the exclusive authority to receive
the ballots cast at any such election.
SEC. 11. it shall be the duty of Com
missioners to certify the result of the
election in their districts respectively,
duly sealed, to the >aid Secretary of the
Interior.
SEC. 3. The Secretary of the Interi
or shall certify under his hand and seal
the names of the persons who appear
to him by the aforesaid returns to be e
lected members of Congress or eiectors
for President and Vice Presidem, and
the persons who shall receive such cer
tificate of election shall hold the office
or exercise the authority therein desig
nated, subject to the sixth section of
this act.
SEC. 4. It shall be the duty of the
United States Marshals in their respec
tive districts to sustain the Commis
sioners of Election herein provided for
in the performance of their duties, and
shall detail a sufficient force of depu
ties to secure order at the Elections
herein provided lor; and in the event
of the force of any such Marshal pro
ving inadequate, the Marshal shall
have the right to call on the nearest
commanding officer of troops of the U
nited States to aid such Marshal to pre
serve order.
SEC. 5. It shall be the duty of the
Secretary of War to so station the
troops of the United States, immedi
ately preceding any election herein
provided for, at convenient points ad
jacent to the principal polling places
of the several Congressional districts,
and in theprincipalcitiesacommanding
force of such troops shall be encamped
in the parks or other suitable places of
such cities, at und preceding ny ©too
tion as aforesaid.
SE< . 6. AH questions in regard to the
regularity and fairness of the election
of members of Congress shall be refer
red by the Secretary of the Interior to
the House of Representatives who
shall have exclusive jurisdiction there
of; and in like manner all questions ;
relating to the election of electors for ■
President and Vice President shall be ;
referred to the President, who shall |
appoint a committee of not less than j
three suitable persons to examine and
decide all such questions, and whose j
decision shall be final and conclusive, j
BKC. 7. This subject shall go into ef- J
feet when Congress shall, by resolu
tion declare that three-fo irths of the j
States have ratified the proposed Fif- j
teenth Amendment, and have decreed !
that the Constitution is amended accor
dingly."
This is simply a proposition to con
stitute a member of the President's
cabinet the judge of elections for the
whole country. If it should be enact
ed into a law, the Secretary of the In
terior would appoint upwards of six
thousand election officials for this
State, and more than one hundred
thousand for the entire Union. This
army of Federal appointees would, of
course, be expected by their masters to
carry the elections for the party in
power. With ihe ballot-box under
their own control, they would not be
very likely to disappoint such expec
tations. But, if they should not suc
ceed, the Secretary of the Interior
will be able to redeem their failure.—
H-e is to certify to Congress the names
of the persons who appear to him by
the returns to have been elected. It
would, doubtless, appear to him, as it
often does to the Election Committee
in Congress, that a candidate to whom
he is opposed was not elected, though
I he received several thousand more
votes than his opponent.
Bnt if one part of this bill is more
| atrocious and infamous than another,
| it is that which provides that the Sec
retary of War shall station United
States troops at convenient places ad
jacent to the principal polling places of
the several Congressional districts and
in the parks of the principal cities,
whilst elections are being held. The
country is to be made a vast military
camp to be occupied by the Federal
soldiery as a menace to freemen who
dare to differ from the policy ol Con
gressortho Administration. If this
bill become a law and the States and
the people submit to it, the prediction
of Gene."al Blair that Grant means to
perpetuate himself in the Presidency,
will have come true. The coup d'etat
of Napoleon 111, which transformed a
republican President into a crowned
Emperor, will have been, in effect, re*-
pea ted in the United States of Ameri
ca. Such is one of the results with
which the country is threatened by the
fraudulent ratification of the Fifteenth
Amendment. It will soon be more
clearly seen that the object of the men
Sriifiwli ißrafwU#
who forced that measure upon the peo
ple, was not so much the enfranchise
ment of the African as the enslave
mentof the Anglo-Saxon, not so much
the extension of the right of suffrage
as the power to manipulate the ballot
box in their own interest.
NEGRO EQFALITV.
Revels has at last been admitted to
a seat in the United States Senate. —
His brother Sumner, and other misce
gen Senators, have at last got their
peer, a proper associate. They are
now in their glory, and with exceed
ing great joy are revelling with Rev
els. The colored man after being e
mancipated and enfranchised, is now
represented in the United States Senate.
In the Southern States there are an a
bundance of negroes to fill seats in the
legislatures and to occupy other offi
cial positions, but not enough of them
to work on the plantations. The ne
groes in the South attend to the affairs
of the government, and the poor
whites do the work The people will
soon learn whether these extraordina-
ry privileges suddenly conferred upon
the emancipated blacks, will be wise
or unwise—a blessing or a curse. This
equality which radicalism has thrust
upou the black man was.accomplished
at a fearful sacrifice of treasure and
blood. It has cost three thousand mil
lions of dollars and the lives of one
million of white men.
IN the Washington correspondence
of the X. Y. Tribtuie, under date of
day before yesterday, we find tlie fol
lowing :
"Mr. Brown, attorney for the Ken
tuckey bourbon and Pennsylvania rye
distillers, with other friends of the
measure for the extension of time for
the withdrawing spirits in bond, have
delayed urging immediate action ow
ing to the absenceof Commissioner De
lano in New York and of Representa
tives Covode and Cessna in Pennsylva
nia, who are strong friends of the
measure.
Aha! In the whisky Ring is it that
we find the honorable gentlemen from
Pennsylvania! President Black of the
State Temperance Union, is respectful
ly requested to look after the first vice
president of that institution, the rep
resentative from the Sixteenth Con
gressional District. Cessna should be
told by some of his Temperance friends
that he cannot ride their nag with a
whisky barrel on his shoulder.
THE morale of the dominant party
in Congress has become utterly degrad
ed. Corruption in Congress is the on
ly theme talked of. Radicalism is ccr
taiulj approaching a 1,1 lalo in ito pq.
reer. In investigating the case of one
of the members of the House, it un
covered a dozen of others guilty of the
same offense. Radical rascality has
become so shameless and offensive that
even some of the most radical are be
coming disgusted with it.
[From the Fulton Republican. J
THE SCCLL'FIKULAY CASE.
Mr. Scull has addressed 11 letter tothe
Committee declining to prosecute his
claims any further, arid this settles the
question, while Fiudlay retains his
seat.
We now desire the Bedford pol
iticians, composed of John Cessna
as chief, and the smaller fry, Rus
sell, Williams, Mintiich, Conley,
and a few others to tell us what they
gained by interfering with the Confer
ence to break it up, and afterwards
force the regular nominee off the
track? We have lost a senator, and
allowed a Democrat to be elected in a
district strongly Republican; and
why ? That John Cessna might over
ride the majority of the District this
coming fall. In the loss of a Senator,
the District has learned that a corrupt,
unprincipled politician cannot over
ride the people.
John Cessna when he promised all
the district, ward, and borough politi
cian of Somerset during the campaign
of 1868, a position if they would work
for his election, and then failed to ful
fill every promise, opened the eyes ot
the voters of Somerset,and disabled him
from practicing a similar fraud in 1869;
when he tried to appear so disinterested
in the substitution of Scull forStutzuian.
But it will not win. "A burnt child
dreads fire." If you desire the confi
dence of the people, speak the truth,
and act honestly. You will not dare
say that you are not a bare-faced liar,
for if you do, we will convict you on
the testimony of good, responsible
men, that you wrote us bare-faced lie*.
i Deny this if you dare, and we will
I convict you on your own hand writing.
No, Mr. Cessna, you can't carry this
! Congressional District in your breeches
1 pocket, though you boasted to us that
i you could control the nomination, and
; always "did those little things."
Prepare yourself Johnny, for you
i have a big job on hand for next fall.
; Fulton county wants a Representa-
I live, and of course you want to run
I Jonathan. Bedford wants a Congress
man, and of course you want tha
j Franklin wants a Revenue position,
i and of course you have not that to
give since Scull was defeated. Stutz
i man wants satisfaction to the tune of
[ five or si* hundred voters in Somerset
i county, and of course you can't help
! that, and we have a few prominent
! Republicans in Fulton, who have an
i old score to settle about your running
Jonathan for State Senator last fall
in this county.
For the present we will close, but
give you the particulars as they occur.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.
The features of the Senate's proceed
ings yesterday was the onslaught of
Senator Chandler upon General Fitz-
John Porter. He opposed a reopening
of the case, and made incidental de
nunciations of General MeCielian and
Franklin. His authority for a long re
statement of the charges against Gen
eral Porter was the redoubtable Pope
whose reputation for veracity, the pub
lic will remember, was none of the
best during the war. Mr. Wilson re
plied to Chandler in a moderate
speech, expressing his willingness
to give Porter another chance.-
Mr. Howard introduced a bill to estab
lish a territorial government in Alas
; ka. Patterson, from the Committee
on Retrenchment, reported a bill to a
\ bolish the Freedmen's Bureau and
' provide for the Bureau of educa
tion. Bills were passed by the
Benate—to provide for the better se
curity of the lives of passengers on
1 board of vessels propelled by steam,
I and to organize the Marine Hospital
service and provide for the relief of
sick and disabled seamen. The re
ports of the Committee of Conference
on the Naval Appropriation bill, fix
ing the amount of appropriation at $2,-
<KHj,i)yo, was concurred in. A joint res
i olution directed that no speech not ac
tually delivered in Congress shall be
printed in the Globe was passed im
mediately. The bill to aid the New
j York and Washington Air-Line Rail
road was up when the Senate went in
to executive session. The proceedings
in the House of Representatives "were
important and interesting. The reso
lution of Mr. Loughridge ins'tucting
the Committee on Banking to report a
bill increasing the currency to sf>o,ooo,-
! dOO was taken up and passed by a vote
of yeas 110, nays 71. About forty
members were absent. The commit
tee are known to be opposed to any in
crease of the currency, but they will be
obliged rf course, to report a bill back to
the House, when the struggle will be re
newed. Bills were introduced —to en
; force the'fifteenth amendment, to pro
i hibit the sale of arms and munitions of
j war to foreign states while carrying on
: actual hostilties, to abolish the office
of Pension Agent, and to reduce the
income tax to three per cent, and
exempting $3,000 therefrom. B. F.
! Butler reported favorably the Senate
! hill removing political disabilities from
five huudred people. A long discus
i sion followed, in which many of the
members took occasion to express their
; opinion on a general amnesty, and
M essrs. Cox and Covode piously quo
ted .Scripture. The bill passed by a
two-thirds majority. The Committee
on Military Affairs reported through
General Logan the result of their in
vestigations in the sale of cadet hips,
andjreeommended the expulsion of B.
F. Whittemore, a Radical member
from South Carolina, for bribery and
corruption. The report was signed by
| c.il th committee. At the suggestion
i of Mr. Poland, the matter was postpon
ed until to-morrow, in order to give
Whittemore an opportunity to prepare
his defense. Butlerand otherextreme
Radicals fought desperately for delay.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.
The I'uited States Senate yesterday
declared emphatically against the issue
of any more paper money, in a resolu
tion presented by Mr. Williams. It
passed without a division. The Sen
ate concurred in the House amend
ment to the Political Disability biii.—
Speeches on the Funding bill were
made by Mr. Fentou and Mr. Patter
son. The Mississippi negro Senator
matter was taken up, and Mr. Sauls
bury delivered an elaborate argument
in opposition to the admission of
Revels, taking the position that he
had not been nine years a citizen of the
United States. A vote was not reach
ed when the Senate adjourned. In the
House of Representatives the Whitte
more case came up. The late member
then attempted to make a speech in
his own defense, but was checked by
the Speaker, on the ground that he
was no longer a member of the House.
The original resolution of expulsion
w r as laid upou the table, and General
Logan offered a resolution declaring
that 11. F. Whitteinore, the late mem
ber from South Carolina, had been
guilty of conduct which rendered him
unworthy to occupy a seat on the floor.
Tie resolution was unanimously a
dopted—Butler and a few others re
fusing to vote. Mr. Whitteinore then
packed up his papers and departed.—
The House afterwards went into Com
mittee on the Appropriation bill.
WASHINGTON, 1 eb. 26
The negro has taken his seat in the
Senate Chamber. After a longdebate,
in which many of the leading Senators
on both sides participated, the Senate
voted down the resolution of Mr,
Stockton to refer the credentials of
Revels tothe Judiciary Committee,
and admitted him by a strict party
vote, 48 to 8. Senator Wilson ostenta
tiously conducted his black brother to
a seat, and the Radical Senators crowd
ed around with their congratulations.
Mr. Hamlin introduced a hill to pro
vide a territorial government for the
District of Columbia. Mr. Wilson in
troduced a bill to prevent and punish
prize-fighting in the United States.
Two years' imprisonment and $3,000
fine are the penalties. Mr. Howard
introduced a bill to divide the State of
Texas, and to establish the Territo
ries of Jefferson and Matagorda. The
bill carves the State into three equal
parts; Jefferson being to the east and
(Matagorda to the west pfwhatL left
of Texas. In the House of Represent
atives bills were introduced to estab',
iish a Department of Justice and a
system of national education. Bu.ler
from the Rcor.structjon Committee,
ported a bill to admit the State
Georgia to a representation to Con
gress on the terms accorded to Virgin
ia. So much objection was made that
the bill was recommitted. On motion
of Mr. Shanks, the Military Commit
tee was instructed to extend its inves
tigations into the actions of officers of
the army and navy in respect to the
purchase and sale of cadetships. The
House, while considering - the Indian
Appropriation bill, entered into a gen
eral discussion of the late atrocious
massacre of Indian women and chil
dren on the Plains by order of Gener
al Sheridan. Mr. Eldtidge (Detn.)
characterised Sheridan's order as in
famous. Mr. Stevenson (Rad.) stood
by the order, and believed that when
we tight the Indians it must be to kill.
Mr. Mungen (Dem.) thought fighting
the Indians vigorously was well e
nough, but he would not "jump into
a little Indian sick with small-pox,
and kill him." Both House adjourn
ed over till Monday.
If the State of Pennsylvania is to be
gin to pay out millions of dollars for
barns burned and haystacks consum
ed during the rebel raid, how* much
ought she to pay out to the widows of
the war for the loss of their husbands
and the orphans for the loss of their
fathers" Is a barn a greater loss to a
well off farmer than a husband to a
working woman?— Philadelphia Press.
If the Press knew the facts, it would
be better qualified to speak on the sub
ject. Some of the losses sustained,
were sustained by very poor people,
who had everything stolen and appro
priated that they owned. Some of the
claimants were widows, whose sons
were in the army, and who, after giv
ing their sons, had their property sto
len. Did John W. Forney give a son
or two? Did he have the (hron'ule de
stroyed and ask no compensation ?
Did he do all his advertisements in the
Chronicle and Press for nothing during
the war? If not, gratuitous advice is
not at par in this country. If John
W. Forney will pay some of the mon
ey he stole from the Government dur
ing the war, a good portion of the
claims could be paid.— Fulton Repub
lican.
BEDFORD RKPIBEICAN MEETING.
—At a meeting held at Bedford lately,
a resolution was offered, (probably pre
pared by John Cessna) endorsing Mr.
Cessna as a Congressman. We would
like to know whether the resolution
was intended to cover his action in the
Bedford Post Office matter? Did it
also cover his action in the deieat of
the Senatorial District? And last, but
not least, istherea republican paper in
Bedfoid County that dare speak the
truth, and say what they think about
those matters ?— Fullon Republican.

The long-expected trial of the Mor
daunt divorce case began in London
last week. It will be remember
ed that Sir Charles Mordaunt charges
his wife with criminal intercourse with
a number of gentlemen, among them
the Prince of Wales. The charge is
based on her own confession and the
attentions of the Prince and others to
her. The friends of Lady Mordaunt
plead that she is insane. It is said in
English papers that the Queen sent for
Sir Charles, and begged him not to
press his suit, on account of the scan
dal that would ensue, and that the
wronged husband flatly refused. At
the trial, iast week, (he Prince was on
the stand. He admitted the aequam
tanceship with Lady Mordaunt, but
nolem nly asseverated tha 11 h ere had nev

tween himself and the lady. The dec
laration was received with immense
cheering by the loyal spectators in the
court-room.
A girl in Chester, Vt., died a few

Schenok 's Pulmonic Syrup,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, willcureCon
sumption, Liver Complaint, and Dyspepsia, if ta
ken according to directions They are all three
to b® 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 ; the diseased matter ripens in the lungss
and the patient outgrows the disease and get,
well. This is the only way to cure consumption
To these three medicines Dr J. H. Schenek, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pul
inonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
lungs, nature throws it off by an easy expectora
tion, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a
slight cough 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 cleanse the stomach
nd liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the
ood will make good blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
removing all obstructions, relax the ducts of the
gall-bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver
is soon relieved ; the stools will show what the
Pillßcan do ; nothing has ever been invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly 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 Scheuck's Mandrake Pills
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption.
Sclienck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle sti mutant
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 Pulmonio Syrup, 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 chills, to
stop night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing
tbey derange the whole digestive powers, locking
up the secrerions, and eventually the patieut
sinks and dies.
Dr. Schenek, in his treatment, does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills, or lever. Re
move the cause, and they will all atop of their
own accord. No cue can be oured 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, ofconrse the lungs
in some way are diseased, either tubercles, ab
ecesses, Wronchialirritation, pleura adhesion, or
the lungs are a mass of inflammation and de
caying. In such cases what must be done ? It
is not only the lungs that are wasting, but it is
the whole body. The stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood out of food. Now the
only chance is to take Schenok's three medicines,
which will bring up u iune 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, and as soon as the body begins to
grow, the lungs commence to heal up, and ttie pa
tient gets leshy and well. This ia the only way
to cure consumption.
Wheu there is no lung disease, and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenek's Seaweed
Tonio and Mandrake Pills are sufficient without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
freely in ail billious complaints, as they are per
fectly harmless
Dr, Schenek. who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs 225
pounds, WAS wasted away to a mere skoleton, in
the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption,
his physicians having pronounoed hia case hope
less and abandoned him to his fete. He was cured
by tbe aforesaid medicines, and since hisrooovery
many thousands similarly afflicted have used Dr.
Schenck's preparations with tho aamc remarkable
success. Full directions accompanying each,
make it not absolutely necessary to personally see
Dr Schenek, 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 advice rnuat he ad
dressed." He is also professionally at No. 32 Bond
