A CHEtT CRT AND LITTLE WOOL.
Some people are constitutional grum
blers. The editor of the Inquirer is
one of them. It is not in his nature to
be satisfied with anything unless it em
anates from his own brilliant and com
prehensive mind. With the exception
of that wonderful panacea for all polit
ical ills, the Fifteenth Amendment,
we doubt whet her any measure of eith
er party, since the close of the war,
has met the entire approbation of John
Lutz, Esquire. The Democrats especi
a'.ly can do nothing to suit the rigid
morality and transcendental political e
eonomyof this at rait- laced editorial phi 10-opher.
o-opher. From national politics to
the management of the county finan
ces, he finds nothing in the record of
the Democratic party worthy of his
approval. It is his business to decry
his political opjionents.'Vight or wrong,
and he sticks close to his trade. We
are, therefore, not surprised to find the
Inquirer of week before last, an article
maliciously intended to bring into sus
picion the Democratic management of
he county treasury. We quote from
this article, as follows:
"On the first of January, 1868, there
was a eash balance of $11,603 31 in the
hands of the County Treasurer. On
the first of January, 1870, the amount
had increased to $13,806 90. Who is to
have the benefit of the use of this sum
the present year? We find no account
of interest for use for the $11,603 31 of
last year in the statement recently
published. What became of it ?"
This is sn*®p*b!e oi easy explana
tion ; and the querulous editor who
asks these questions will find that if he
had held his peace, his party would
have fared all the better. Some years
since a "Republican" legislature re
pealed the State tax on real estate. A
great flourish of trumpets has been
made over this achievement and the
Inquirer man blew his horn as loud as
any of his brethren. Now, one of the
results of this repeal is that the State
Treasurer each and every year dips his j
hand into the county treasuries and
takes therefrom such amounts as he
sees fit. The county commissioners,
in laying the tax, are, therefore, com
pelled to make such a levy as will cov- ;
er the probable demands of the State
Treasurer. They can do this only at j
random, because they are not inform- ;
ed, when they lav tax, what amount
will be required of them by that offici
al. For this "guess-work" the bung-'
ling legislation of the "Republican" j
party is responsible. Nevertheless, j
the commissioners of this county
"guess" pretty well. Lait year, as i
will he seen by the report of the coun- j
ty auditors, the State Treasurer was j
paid $6,371.79. He demanded some j
$1,700 more which the commissioners
have thus far refused to pay. When j
this sum is deducted from the $11,603.- :
31 in the treasury at the settlement of i
Jan. 1, 1869, it will he seen that but a j
little more than five thousand dollars i
remained in the hands of the county j
treasurer to meet the current expenses
of the county. Owing to another de
lectable invention ofa "Republican"
legislature, the election of an Addi
** '
tional Law Judge, those expenses are
greatly increased and rendered of an j
uncertain and fluctuating character.—
It is Impossible for the commissioners i
to know in advance how many special
and adjourned courts are to he held
during the year. In order that the
dear people may not be deprived of the
great "Republican" blessings conferred
on them by these numerous courts, it
is necessary that a sufficient surplus
should tie in the treasury to uiee f the
possible cost of holding them. By the
time the State Treasurer gets his divi
dend and the expenses of the extra
courts are paid out of the balance
of $13,806.96 R is not very likely that
much of it will remain to be put out at
interest, either by the county treasur
er or tiie commissioners.
To complete the explanation of the
fact that there is a larger balance in
the treasury at the beginning of the
year than formerly, it is only necessary
to state that the taxes are now collect
ed between the Hot of June and the
thirty-first of December. During the
first five months of the year, no taxes
at all are collected. Hence it is neces
sary that there should be about $14,000
in the treasury at the beginning of the
year to meet the current expenses o!
the county during those first five
months.
If the editor of the Inquirer would
do the people of Bedford county a ser
vice, if he is really desirous of lighten
ing the burden of taxation under
which they are >trnggling, let hiiu de
mand of his potitieal friends in the leg
islature a proper correction of theout
rageous statute under wliicli the S'ate
Treasurer at present reaches into the
county treasuries and seizes such sums
as he {Tleases to take, and furthermore,
let him agitate the repeal of the Act of
Assembly which provides for au Ad
ditional Law Judge for this Judicial
District. Let bim begin the work of
rvfatm in his own household, and
until he accomplishes that, let him
eee his grumbling.
THE aSLT SALTATION.
For years the little leaders of the so
called Republican party, have assured
their followers that the charge made
| by the Democrats against them, name
j ly, that it was their design to force
black suffrage on the country, was
false, and in many cases they went so
: far as to declare that if their party ever
proved itself capable of doing so mnn
j strous a thing, they would themselves
be the first to leave it. How can these
men look the people whom they have
i so wantonly deceived, in the face?—
How can they ask any one to believe
their statements in the future? The
Fifteenth Amendmenthabeen foisted
upon the country by the leaders of the
Republican party. Next fall every
African in Pennsylvania will go to the
polls and ask that his ballot shall be
received by th? elect ion -officers. In
less than a year net/roes tvifl git in the
jury-box in the Bedford courts. Now,
if the people had been permitted to
vote on this question and had decided
that the right of suffrage and other
privileges consequent upon it, should
he granted to the African, there could
be no complaint. The voice of the
people is the voice of God, Rut the
the Republican leaders have impudent
ly ignored the popular will, and,
therefore, have impiously defied the
judgment of Heaven. To their reck
less disregard of the rights of the peo
ple and their sacrilegious attempt to
equalize races of men whom God has
created unequal, are added the false
pomises of their platforms, their
speeches and their press. They are con
victed of the triple crime of betraying
the people, of seizing into thpir own
hands the power to regulate Suffrage
and of attempting to correct and over
rule the Almighty in His divine ar
rangement of the plan of creation.—
The iniquity of such wickedness can
not stand. Ceitain, swift and terrible
punishment is sure to overtake it.—
The only question which remains to
be decided, is, Shall the judgment of
outraged J 'eaven fall upon the Nation,
or shall it be visited only upon the
heads of the guilty authors of the
crime ? F.ither the Republican leaders
must be overthrown, or the commu
nity at large must suffer for this of
fence against the rights of the !
people and the laws of God. This j
is the only alternative. The only sal
vation of this country from the curse
of a mongrel race, mongrel society and
a mongrel government, is in the early
and complete and final overthrow of
the present leaders of the so called
"Republican" party. This must, in
some measure, be done by "Republi
cans" themselves Whether, ind:rd,
there remains enough righteousness in
that political Sodom, to secure so great
salvation, is a matter of the gravest
doubt. But we shall see.
DEMOCRATIC t'Ol'XTt CONVENTION.
Pursuant to notice a Convention of
the Democrats of Bedford County was
held at the Court House, on Teusday
night, March 1. The Covention was
called to order by E. F. Kerr, Esq.,

On motion P. G. MOUGART, of Bloody
Run, was appointed President, and
J. G. Fisher, Secretary. The follow
ing resolutions, after some discussion,

The Convention then adjourned.

THE economy and wisdom of the
present Pennsylvania legislature are
most happily evinced iu the obstinate
refusal to publish at public charge a re
cord of proceedings, aud in the reten
tion of a horde of pasters and folders,
who are clinging to the rim of the
treasury chest. With the non-publica
tion of proceedings these fellows have
nothing to do butsleep the hcursaway
until the Speaker's hammer shall rap
the hour of final adjournment. Yet it
is gravely proposed in the House to
add two hundred dollars to the pay ol
these drones! When the yeas and
nays shall be ordered, the public will
learn, even without a published jour
nal of proceedings, the names of the
members v. ho wili have the hardihood
to thus shamefully vote away their
money. Let the palters ant I folders
be sent home cow, and let the great
legislative scandal, with which they
are connected, itimvediatsly be suppres
sed.
P. S.—Since the above was put in
tyj>e, we h-arn that the proposition to
vote extra pay to the officers was de
feated In the House, principally
through the vigilance of the demo
crats.

GOLD down to 113 ! In the money
market the greatest excitement pre
vails on account of the steady descent
of gold. At the rate of decline which
is going on, the country may soon hope
to reach specie payments, unless the
policy of the advocates of expansion
shall unhappily prevail in Congress,
and give speculators, with an increase
of paper currency, further opportuni
ties for enhancing the prices rf all the
necessaries ofj life. The fear that the
Supreme Court may interfere with the
recent decision on the legal tender
question, has, thus far not had any ef
fect in disturbingthe money market,and
the public need now be under little ap
prehension that a successful effort will
be made to obtain a reversal. The
only effect of the agitation of the ques
tion will be to increase the distresses
of such debtors as come under the op
eration of the law, and by disturbing
the money market, postpone the long
wished return to specie payments.
THERE is a bill before the State Sen
ate which proposes to allow Canal and
Turnpike Companies to abandon such
parts of their lines as they deem use
less to the public. Under this hill, should
it become a law, the Pennsylvania Ca
nal Company might abandon their line
at a point east of Huntingdon and
thence westward, which would have
the effect of compelling shippers of
coal from the Broad Top region and
other shippers of freight in this sec
tion, to rely solely on the railroad for
transportation. The increase in charges
on freights which would thus be occa
sioned would be a serious incumbrance
to business men in this neighborhood,
as well as to the coal-shippers of Broad
Top. It is, therefore, very important
that our representatives in the legisla
ture be on their guard when this bill
comes up on its passage. If it is to pass
at all, it should be amended so as to re
quire the company to keep the canal
open from Huntingdon eastward.
It is intimated that it will soon thun
der along the whole political sky.—
Startling developments are expected
to be made in connection with the
Postoffiee Contract Bureau. Certain
irregularities, it is alleged, have oc
curred in the postal contract business,
andoneof the House committees is
said to have "smelled out" evidence
that will make certain officials wish
that they were somebody else. All
the departments want overhauling,
and more particularly the office of In
ternal Revenue, in the Treasury de
pal Uucui.
THE towu elections throughout the
State of New York show uuiform
Democratic gains. In the election held
last week, Newburg elected a Demo
cratic Mayor by a handsome majority,
and Ithaca, a full board of Democrat
ic local officers for the first time in
many years. The Democratic revival
lias spread over into Vermont. Bur
lington has been swept by the Democ
racy lor the first time since it became a
chartered city.
Full particulars of the loss of the li
nked Slates steamer Oneida have I teen
received l>y the Japanese mail at San
Francisco. The accident look place on
the 2JJ of January, at 7 o'clock in the
evening, when the officers were at sup
per. The Bombay struck the Oneida
on the starboard, abaft the gangway,
aud crushed a great iiole in Iter. Two
men were killed outrigtit by the colli
sion. The Bombay continued on her
way without heeuiug the appeal Irom
the lost ship for help. _ All the boats
but the life-boat were crushed. This
was manned by SurgeonSuddard; and
a small crew. The Oneida sank in ;eu
minutes, carrying duwti the heroic
Commander Williams, who declared
tnat he would not desert his vessel and
dearly three-fourths of his comrades.—
Of tne 17b persons on board, only fif
ty-six were saved. Among the latter
were only throe officers—Master Yates,
Ur. Suddards, and the captain's clerk,
Mr. Crowninshieid. The most remark
able circumstance attending the disas
ter is the declaration of the crew and
passengers of the Bombay that they
knew nothing of the collision, and had
heard none of the distress guns tired
by tiie Oneida,
Later Loudon papers contribute the
continuation of the proceedings in
the Morduunt divorce case. The evi
dence of Sir Charles Mordauut is inter
esting as indicating the general feeling
in regard to the cbaiacU-r of the Prince
of Wales. Sir Charles testified that
before his marriage to Lady Merdaunt
he knew of her intimacy with the
Prince and that after the marriage he
warned her against continuiug tie
acquaintance. "I told her," said
he, "that X had heard in various
quarters certain circumstances con
nected with his previous character
that caused me to wish her to
break off with him." Notwithstand
ing this wish, Lady Mordautk contin
ued to receive the Prince without the
knowledge of her husband, until the
time she made the voluntary confess
ion that a criminal intimacy had been
existing between them, tjir Charles
also testified to the discovery of a batch
of letters and a valentine from the
Prince to his wife. The court loyally
refused to permit the letters to be
read.
The Pope has "secularized" Father

WASHINGTON, March 1.
Ia the Senate of the United States
yesterday the Vice President announ
ced the appointment of Senator Rev
els (black) to the Committees of Educa
tion and Labor. The Funding bill
was discussed to the hour of adjourn
ment, Mr. Sherman making an elabor
ate speech. Mr. Davis gave notice
that le would move to recommit the
bill With instructions to the committee.
In tne House of Representatives, But
ler, cf Massachusetts, introduced a
bill to provide for the enforcement of
Judgments in lawful money of the U
nited States 00)3'. Mr. Palmer offer
ed a preamble and resolution instruc
ting the Committee on Banking and
Currency to report a general law au
thorizing the establishment of nation
al banks, unrestricted in aggregate
circulation, fixed 011 such an issue of
United States boudsas shall induce the
lowest possible reduction of the rate of
interest. The House retu'sed to second
the previous question, and the resolu
tion went over till next Monday. Mr.
Spink, of Dakota, offered a resolution
that the" interests of ihecountry require
such tariff for revenue upon foreign
imports as w ill afford iocideutal pro
tection to domestic manufacturers, and
as will, without impairing the reve
nue, impose the least burden upon and
best promote and encourage the great
industrial interests of the country."
This resolution created a flutter in the
House. Mr. Wool moved to lay it on
the table, but the motion was nega
tived. file resolution was ado led
yeas 107, nays 48; a majority of Dem
ocrats and a minority of the Republi
cans voting in the negative. The
House then went into committee on
the Indian Appropriation bill. Gen
eral Sheridan's atrocity was discussed
with some bitterness, irrespective of
par 13* lines.
WASHINGTON, March 2.
11l the United States Senate yester
day, the Funding bid was further dis
cussed, and Mr. Corbett, of Oregon,
made an elaborate and prosy speech in
favor of an amendment of his own.
The negro Senator, Revels, made his
debut in the presentation of a petition
from sundry negroes in Philadelphia,
praying for the passage of a bill enfor
cing the fifteenth amendment. Mr.
Howell, the new lowa Senator, also
made his first speech in support of a
r .solution against the grasping spirit
of the railroad monopolies. In the
House ol Representatives the Senate's
amendment to the Post Route Bill was
taken from the Speaker's desk and
concurred in. Mr. Bird (Dem.), of
New Jersey, attempted to get, the
Sheridan atrocity before the House in
the shape of a resolution calling upon
the President 'or information, but a
Radical member objected. The bill
extending to three years the time for
keeping distilled liquors in bond was
passed with an amendment fixing the
amount in u pam ntr me nr.St year
atone cent per gallon. Mr. Logan
from the military Committee reported
a resolution declaring John T. De-
the cadetship selling carpet
bagger, who has evaded expulsion by
resignation, unworthy of a seat in the
House. After a long debate the
House decided to instruct the commit
tee to continue the investigation only
so far as it affected members of this
Congress and other officers of the gov
ernment. The majority and minority
reports of the Banking Committee on
the gold corner investigation were re
ported.
WASHINGTON, March 3.
The Funding bill was debated a
gain in the U. tS. Senate yesterday, Mr.
Sumner making an elaborate speech.
The joint resolution authorizing the
Northern Pacifij Railroad Company
to issue its bonds for t e construction
of ils road, and to secure the same by
mortgage, was also discussed, without
action. In both Houses new railroad
land jobs were introduced, and in
the House one of theswindlesmet with
a vigorous opposition from the Demo
crats. In the Mouse the till I authorizing
the construction and maintenance of a
bridge over Niagara River, at Buffa
lo, was passed. Mr. Jox mad' a per
sonal explanation, denying the story of
a sensation paper in thiscity of It is hav
ing sold a cadetship. The Indian ap
propriation bill was discussed in com
mittee and nearly finished. Mr. May
nard offered a resolution of inquiry in
to the loss of the Oneida, which was a
dopted.
WASHINGTON, March 4.
In the United States benate yester
day Mr. Trumbull introduced his bill
to change the Supreme Court judicial
circuits, and elicited a warm discuss
|
ion. The effect of the bill will be to
prohibit the confirmation of Judge
Bradley and compel the President to
select a carpet-bag judge, from the
South. Tbe.Senu.e resumed the' dis
cussion of the Funding bill, and listen
el to elaborate speeches by Senators
Mori ill, of Vermont, Morton and Sum
ner. In the House of Representatives,
Mr. Ingersoll attempted to procure the
passage of a resolution calling upon
the Secretary of Interior for informa
tion about the "massacre" of the Pie
gun Indians. Mr. Stevenson, of Ohio,
who has taken upon himself the hard
task of apologizing for General Sheri
dan, objected to the word "m. ssaere,"
and refused to permit the resolution to
be entertained. He offered it himself
subsequently In another shape. Mr.
Ingersoll introduced the New York
and Washington Air Line Railroad
bill, and endeavored to rush it through
the House, but several Democratic
members made so much opposition
that it was forired over the morning
hour. The bill will probably pass the
House, as it has before, and tie throt
tled in the Senate. The Tariff bill be
ing under discussion, Mr. Brooks, of
New York, opened the fight for the
free-traders with a long and very able
speech. Before the House adjourned
an amusing, though by no means un
usual, quarrel took place between Ben
Butler and a brother Radical. Butler,
it seems reported back from the recon
struction Committee a bill for the ad
mission of the Georgia Congressmen.
Mr. Farnsworth, one of the committee
denied that Butler had authority from
the Committee to do so. BuMer re
garded thigos.au attack on his veraci
ty, and finally the Speaker called upon
the House to decide whether the Mas
sachusetts statesman spoke the truth
or not. Just as a vote was about
to be taken, Butler yielded to a friend
to introduce a bill, and thus dodged a
verdict. The House adjourned with
out further action.
WASHINGTON, March 5.
In the United Senate yesterday Mr.
Trumbull's bill changing the circuits
of the Supreme Court was considered,
and speeches were made by Mr. Trum
bull, and Mr. Sumner moved to lake
up his bill repealing the charter of the
Medical Society of the District of Co
lumbia. It is by means of this bill that
he proposes to punish the white physi
cians of Washington for their refusal
to consult professionally with negro
doctors. Greatly to Sumner's disgust,
his motion was lost by a vote of 21 to
26. In the House of Representatives,
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, opened
the diseussian on the Georgia bill. In
the course of his speech he intimated
that as soon as Georgia was reconstruc
ted to his mind he should turn his at
tention to Tennessee. He proposed to
exhibit to the Teunesseans the power
of Congress to regulate the internal af
fairs of a State. Mr.Farnsworth (Rep.)
made a speech agiust the bill, and it
Went over until to-day, when it will
be debated, to the exclusion of other
business.

France lias at last taken a very deci
ded stand upon the question of the Pa
pal infallibility. The Minister of For
eign Affairs, Count Napoleon Daru,
lias written an official note to Hie
French representative at Rome, deciar
i g thai if the obnoxious dogma is pro
claimed France will withdraw her
troops from the Holy City. This is
emphatic. The Pope must now choosy
between disappointment and revolu
tion. What he will do in this dilem
ma is uncertian ; but we learn, direct
from Rome, that he is still confident
of bis anility to carry the proposition
for infallibility. The London Times
says that tipaiu and other Catnoiic
powers have forwarded notes similar
to lbat of Count Daru. It Is reported
iu Brussels that so far the ultramon
tanes have been unable to induce the
American bishops to declare for the
dogma. The sessions of the Ecumeni
cal Council will be resumed next week,
when ibis important question, which
seems to thr ateu the peace of the
world as well as of the church, will
receive some solution.
From the daily Scran ton Democrat
we learn of a terrible calamity caused
by the explosion of a boiler in the
Lackawana Iron ami coal Company's
blast furnace at that place, on Monday
evening, 28th ult., which carried death
and desolation to many a hearth stone.
The Democrat describes the explosion
as being one of terriffie force, and the
scene as being most heartrending and
appalling. Ten persons are reported
killed, nineteen wounded, and many
of the wounded, dying. This seems to
be the fourth terrible disaster at the
same furnaces, ihe previous ones being
even more terrible than the last. At
the first, one hundred and ten persons
were killed and wounded ; at the sec
ond, forty-four were killed and wound
ed at the third, thirty-three were kill
ed and wounded, and now twenty-nine
have been killed and wounded.
More royal scandals. This time the
Spanish Bourbons are in the pillory.—
Ex Queen Isabella has her family
troubles as well as her royal sister Vic
toria. Prince Girgenti, of Naples, who
married Isabella's eldest daughter
three years ago, is a worthless roue
and spendthrift, and has already squan
dered his wife'sdowry. The telegraph
announces that the unfortunate young
woman has begun legal proceedings a
gainst him. This is not the worst,
however. The Queer's husband
taken it upon himself to embargo all
her ex-Majesty's private property in
Spain to prevent the waste of the chil
dren's inheritance. The Queen has
been living almost riotously since the
beginning of her exile, and this action
on the part of her despised lord was
probably necessary to save something
Irom the wreck for the future main
tenance of the family.

A disease as fatal as Asiatic cholera
broke out in Albion, Erie county,
Pennsylvania, a few days ago, and in
less than a week five grown people

are covered with crimson spots. The
first symptom is a violent chill, which

Selienck's Pulmonic Syrup,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. willcureCon
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 : then
the appetite becomes good; the food digests and
makes good blood; the patient b-gins 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 oure consumption
To these three medicines Dr J. H. Schenek, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
troutmnt of pultn >nary consumption. Tne Pul
tannic Syrup ripens the in irbi i matter in the
!unrs. uature throws it off by an easy expectora
tion, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a
slight cougn will throw it off, an I the patieut has !
rest an l the iungs begin to heal
To do this, the .Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake i
Pills must bo freely used to demise the stomach
and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the
food will make good bloo i
Seheuck'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
Pills can do ; nothing has ever been invents i ex
cet t calomel (a deadly poison which is verr dan
gerous to use unless with great care), that will
unlock the gall-bladder ami starts tbe secretions
of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the Alkali in tbe Seaweei,
which this preparation is made of, assists the
stomao'i to throw out the gastric juice t<> dissolve
tbe food with the Pulmonic Syrup, aad it is male
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
they derange the whole digestive powers, locking
up the geere'ious, and eventually tbe patieut
sinks and dies.
Dr. Scbenck. in his treatment, does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills, or lever. Re
move the cause, and they will all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of Consump
tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Citaarh, Can
ker, Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and stom
ach are made healthy.
If a person has Consumption, of course the lungs
in some way are diseased, either tubercles, ah
scesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or
the lungs are a mass of irtfLimuiatior aud fast de
caying In such cases what must be done ? It
is not only tne lungs that are wawng, buc it is
the whole body. The stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood eat of food. Now the
only chance is to take Sebeuck's three medicines,
which will bring up a tone to the stomach, the
patient will begin to want food, it will digest ersi
ly and mako good blood : tb en the patieut begins
to gain in flesh, an l as soon as the body begins t >
grow, the lungs commence to heal up, and the pa
tient gets fleshy anl well. This is the only way
torure consump'ion.
When there is 110 lung disense, and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenok's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient without
the Pclmonie Syrup. Take tbe Mandrake Pills
freely in all billious complaints, as they are per
fectly harmless
Dr. Schenek. who baa enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weight 2ib
pounds, was was ed away to a mere skeleton, in
the yery last stage of Pulmonary Consumption,
bis physicians hat ing pronounc-d his case hope
less and abandoned bitn to his fate lie was cured
by the aforesaid tuedioiaes, and since his recovery
many thousands similarly afflicted have use l Dr.
Scbenck's preparations with tho same re narkable
success, full directions accompanying each,
make it uot absolutely necessary to parsoually see
Dr Schenok, unless the patienis wish their lungs
examined, and for this purpose ho is professional
