The Inquirer of last week copies from
the Pittsburg Gaztte an article which
attempts to bolster up the Grant ad
ministration with a string of falshooods
th,:i \v uM have done honu to the
baron Muncha :scn himself.
First, say the (Jozdte. the adminis
tration, "has paid off' eighty-eight
millions of dollars of the publicdebt-"
We need but ask the reader to com
pare the in.-* monthly statement of the
d Iff made by ex-Secretary McCulloch
with that of .Secretary Boutwelt on
March 1. H7O, to prove the other falsi
ty of this assertion. Secretary McCul
loch always estimated the Pacific Rail
road Bonds as part of the public debt,
but Mr. Bo it well omits the whole a
mount of these bonds from iiis state
ment. The sum of these Ionds, for
which the United .States Government
is responsible, is almost as great a- the
amount of redaction of the debt claim
ed by the article in the Pittsburg pa
per. This is certainly a new way of
p. ying old debts, and the plan ought
to be copyrighted by the radical Sec
retary of the Treasury. Besides Bout-
Weil counts as cash the bonds and pa
per currency redeemed by *he Gov
ernment which are utterly worthless un
less re-issued, and they would become
again a pari of the public debt. An
individual might as well count his
own promissory notes, after redemp
tion, as so much cash in hand ! W hen
the redeemed bonds and the currency
in the treasury are eliminated from the
cash assets claimed by Mr. Bout well,
it is found that instead of decreasing,
the public debt has really increased a
b'jutfifty I ico mi HI ions since Grant's ac
cession to the Presidency.
Another assertion in the article re
ferral to, namely, that "the adminis
tration has largely decreased the pulj
lic expenditures," Ac., is proved false
by the facts and figures contained in
the speech recently made in Congress
by Mr. Dawes, one of the leaders of
the republican party. He affirmed
and proved by the official records that
the estimates of Graut's administra
tion of the expenses of the government
for the next fiscal year are nearly fifty
millions greater than the expenditures
for the last year of Johnson's adminis
tration.
That the administration has "advan
ced the value of our depreciated cur
rency from 1.32 to 1.15," is ridiculous
ly false. The administration has had
no more to do with the appreciation of
the currency than the man in the
moon. The increase in the produc
tion of cotton during the last year, has
operated to retain gold in this coun
try, that great staple having taken the
place of coin in balancing our accounts
with foreign countries. If the Insane
hatred of the South which rankled
in the hearts of the radical leaders, had
not conceived and put in practice a
plan of "reconstruction" which took
the negroes from the cotton-fields and
placed them in the arena of polities,
the cotton crops of the last five years
would have heeu large enough to turn
the balance of trade in favor of the U
nited States, and to day, instead of the
currency fluctuating from 1.12 to 1.10,
it would beat par. So much for what
King Cotton, and not the administra
tion has done tor the appreciation of
the currency.
As to the other statements of the ar
ticle, they are of a piece with those to
which we have alluded. There is but
one truthful sentence in the whole
thing, that in which it is asserted that
the administration has completed the
radio il reconstruction of all the South
ern State governments on "Republi
can" principles. That is certainly in
disputaole. At H cost of hundreds of
millions of dollar- to the people of the
North, "he ignorant, degraded and vi
cious negroes of the South have been
given control of the State governments
in that section; white American citi
zens have been disfranchised and
made the political -laves of tlie blacks;
and a negro preacher who embezzled
the funds of his church in Kansas has
been elected to lite United States Sen
ate. Yes, the Southern State govern
in nits have been reconstructed on Ri
p ibliean principles.
THE democrats oi the New York
legislature have smashed the ring and
the people of New York city will now
be given an honest charter. The o|-
pre--iveaud odious commissions inv < -
t 1 by radical malice for the govern
ment of the great metropolis will lie
swept away, and the people will
hereafter select their uiuuicipal offi
cers. So much for democratic ascen
dancy in the New York legislature.
The radical majority in New Hamp
shire i< about 1,100, a loss n r 2,000 -ince
last year, and of about 0 000 on the
majority for Grant.
The Newbury port ihrafd, referring
to the report that black men will suc
ceed Dewesce and Whittimore in Con
gress, express regret that the commit
tee found out those worthies. That's
treasonable.
TBK Hl'JiniK ACill.
At the beginning of every month the
people of the United States are rolcmn
iy informed by tin* Secretary of the
Treasury that the pub'ic debt ha- been
decreased by certain amounts duly
specified. It would afford us great
pleasure to chronicle the fact were it
fact aud not falsehood. That a high offi
cial should persistently send out to the
i public a statement which is a lie on its
face, seems almost incredible. Never
tic its- such is the shameful fact.—
Look for instance, . t Mr. Boutwell'a
figures for the month. Lis state
ment isas follows:

Deertase of debt during the ... -

Deer use of debt since March 1
Now, in lisc first place the Pacific
railroad bonds, always estimated as ;t
part of the public debt by Secretary
M'Cuiloch, are not included in the a
bove statement. They amount, with
the accrued interest unpaid, to $65,-
094,861 20. Thi- sum added to the
gross amount of ttiedebt .is above sta
ted, makes an agregate of $2,716,763,-
GoO 63. Now, what are the assets
claimed by Mr. Boutwetl to be at pre
sent in the Treasury? Why, among
others, $100,600,283 61 of United States
coin interest bonds! That is to say,
this amount of the promissory notes of
the United States have been redeem
ed by the United States, and though
just as worthless to the United States
us the paper of an individual is to that
individual after he has redeemed it
and recovered p<-.sessioti of it, this val
ueless paper is counted as assets and
Mr. Bout well coolly proceeds, to de
duet the amount of the value which it
once had from the amount of the
principal and interest of the public
debt 1 To make this perfectly clear to
the dullest understanding let us illus
trate: An individual draws a promis
sory note on which he obtains money.
He afterwards lifts the note. Having
redeemed the note and recovered pos
session of it, it is perfectly valueless
to him and he destroys it. In like
manner the govervment issues bond-.
It obtain- the money on them. After
wards it lifts these bonds. But Mr.
Boutweli, instead or cancelling of de
stroying them puts those redeemed ev
idences of government debt in the
strong box of the Treasury, and with
a felicity of imagina'ion that is truly
wonderful, treats them as cash ! It
the reader held an ertate charged with
a mortgage, would not the owner of the
mortgage regard him as a lunatic if he
proposed to pay oft the mortgage with
hi- own paper formerly held by other
parties but lately redeemed by him?
Yet tiiis is preei-ely what Boutwel! asks
the public to believe be can do and is
doing. Theonly bona fide assets in the
Treasury are $1(12,4(H),739.97 in coin, as
above stated, and this sum alone is to
be deducted from the gross amount of
the public debt. Hence a true state
ment of the debt and the credit* to
which government is entitled
would be a follows :
Total debt—Principal and inter.
est 12,716,763.636 63
Asseta in Tremsery 102,460,739 97
Total debt less assets in Treasu
ry 2,614,362,916 66
But let us see what was the amount
of the debt ou the first of March, 186' J.
We copy from the statement of Sere
tary M'Cuiloch as printed in the Har
risburg Telegraph of March 5,1869;
"Debt bearing compound interest,
$2,107,854,050; debt bearing currency
interest, $71,040,000; matured debt not
presented fur payment, $6,422,463 64;
debt bearing no interest,s42l,s7B,lßo 50;
six per cent, (lawful money) bonds is
sued to Pacific railroad companies,
$53,937,000; total debt, $2,660,931,694 14.
Amount iu Treasury— coin, $98,741,-

145,094,78§ 76. Amount of debt less
cash iu the Treu-ury,52,545,330,904 33."
it will be seen ttit fete-notary M'Oul
loeh did not count anything but coin
arid currency as assets. But he had
no right to treat the amount of curren
cy in the Treasury as cash, not a whit
more than an individual bus to count
his own redeemed promissory notes as
asset*. Therefore a correct statement
of the debt oti the fir-t of March, 1-419,
would stand thi}s i
Total debt—Principle] and inter

Asset- iuTrea.-ury 95,741.260 72
Total debt leu, iu'jU ia Treasury $2,062,190 433 42
Now v hat do< this prove? Why,
that the public debt instead of having
been reduced, as claimed the uaen
daei.i - Bunt well, has been actually
and positively and indisputably aug
mented sjijef the first of March. 1869.

Figures will not lie. Even the dex
terity of Bout Well fails to make his
i digits hide the truth. It is a fact, a
s£T)F m mv
glaring, stubborn and irresistible fact,
that the public debt has increased up
wards of Fifty-two niillionsduring the
last year, and no man who is not a
knave or a fool will attempt to deny it.
GOVERNOR STEVENSON, of Ken
tucky, has done a very proper thing in
refusing to accept the resignation of
Golladay, the member of Congress
front that State, who is charged with
having dabbled in the endetship cor
ruption. Gov. Senter, of Tennessee,
likewise deserves credit for declining
to receive the resignation of Butler,
member of Congress from that State,
who has been proved guilty of the
charge of selling a eadetship. Steven
son and Senter are democrats, and gen
tlemen of character and education.—
On the other hand, Gov. Scott, ofSouth
Carolina, aud Gov. Holden, of North
Carolina, did not hesitate a moment to
accept the resignations of Whittemore
and Deweese, members of Congress
from their respective States, who were
convicted of trafficking in eadetships.
These resignations were communicated
to and accepted by these Governors by
telegraph. Scott, of South Carolina,
is a corrupt and contemptible carpet
bagger. whilst Holden is a scalawag
who has been on all sides of the politi
cal questions, "everything by turns
and nothing long." The contrast be
tween the former and the two latter
may not be apparent to radical optics,
but to people who are net willfully
blind it is quite perceptible.

WASHINGTON, March 8.
The Funding hill was again under
discussion in the United States Senate
yesterday afternoon and evening. Mr.
Bayard, of Delaware, made an elabor
ate speech against the bill. Mr. Mor
ton introduced a bill to admit the
State of Texas to representation in Con
gress, on the same conditions as in the
case of Virginia. Mr. Harlan, from
the Committee on Indian Affairs, re
ported a bill for carrying into effect the
treaty with the Cherokees. In th
House of Representatives Mr. Schenck
introduced a resolution instructing the
Committee on the District of Colum
bia to consider a bill repealing thechar
ters of the Cities of Washington and
Georgetown. An attempt was made to
restore Mr. Golladey, of Kentucky to
his rights asa member of the House in
consequence of tlie refusal of the Gov
ernor of Kentucky, to accept his resig
nation, but the Speaker ruled that Mr.
Golladay was no longer a member.—
The Judiciary Committee were in
structed to report some rule to be es
tablished by the House in the case of
members resigning during the investi
gation into thpir official conduct. The
Georgia bill was resumed and several
speeches were made, but no vote was
reached.
WASHINGTON, March 9.
In the United States Senate the Fun
ding lull was again discussed, Mr.
Sherman, of Ohio, advocating the pay
ment of the interests in certain cities
of Europe, and proposing the allow
ance of one percent, for the negotia
tion. Mr. Morton's Neatraliity bill,
forbidding the fitting out of ships with
in tlie United States against American
colonists claiming independence, was
introduced with the approval of the
Committee on Foreign Relations.
The Georgia bill has been passed by
the House and sent to the Senate, But
ler had the pleasure of being beaten
by Bingham, whose amendment offer
ed yesterday was adopted by forty
majority. This helps to oust Bullock
—the Senate bill retaining him in of
fice for many years to come,
WASHINGTON, March 10.
In the Senate of the United States,
yesterday, the petition of a Mr. Hatch,
of Connecticut, for the release of his
father, who is unjustly confined by the
Dominican government, led to some
angry denunciations of President Baez
and bis partisans. Senator Ferry
declared that Mr. Hatch was imprison
ed because he possessed certain knowl
edge concerning an effort to swindle
the United States government in the
purchase of that island, Mr. Wil
liams, from the Finance Committee,
reported against the Joint resolution
extending the time for a with rawal
of spirit.-, from bonded warehouses.—
Mr. Trumbull reported the Georgia hill
from the House. Another Cuba sym
pathy resolution (said to he inspired
by General Queada>) was introduced
and laid on the table. The Senate
then took up the Funding hill and dis
cussed it during the afternoon and eve
ning sessions. In the House of Repre
sentatives, Mr. Mungen offered a res
olution of inquiry into the arbitrary
s azures made by Collector Bailey in
N. Y. city, but .Mr. Jetjckes, of Rhode
Island, oujeel— 1, Mr. Garfield ottV-red a
resolution of inquiry into the exj>edi
ency of admitting small packages in
the mails, which was adopted. The
fight on the New York and Washing
ton Air Line Railroad bill began with
an effort by its patron, Mr. Ingersoll,
to rush it through the House. Several
Democratic members denounced the
hill, Mr. Wood declaring that the
House was being asked to give away to
a few men a franchise that could be
s ild in Wall street for twenty millions
of dollars. After a spicy debute, Mr.
Ingers >ll's motion fur the previous
question was voted down, 67 to 74, and
the bill went over. Mr. Stevenson,
from the Post-office Committee, repor
ted a bill reducing the inileageof mem
bers of Congress.
WASHINGTON, March 11. ,
The debate on the Funding hill in the
United Slates Senate continued
through the afleiitoou and ever.ingses
sions of yesterday. A fight was made
by the champions of the national banks
for the retention of the peculiar privi
leges they now enjoy. Mr. Oaaserly,
speaking of the grasping spirit mani
fested by the banks, declared that the
Democrats could desire no better issue
than this. The House took up and de
bated the bill to reduce the number of
officers in the army. General Logan,
as chairman of the Military Commit
tee, made the leading speech, in which
he showed that the bill reduced the
number of army officers about 33 per
cent., MHI effected a.-aving of nearly
$0,000.(100. He stated that as the ar
my now stood it was so burdened with
officers that there was one for every
ten enlisted men. The bill was voted
upon by sections, ami finally passed.
A proposition to transfer the Indian
Bureau to the War Department was
lost.
WASHINGTON, March 12.
Aftev* a protracted debate, the Uni
ted Mates senate yesterday passed the
Funding bill. The vote was—yeas, 82,
nays, 10. ali the Democrats voting in
thefiegative. in the Senate, biJls were
introduced to promote the securing of
efficient seamen for the navy, and to
regulate international correspondence
by telegraphic lines between the Uni
ted States and foreign eoun ries. Mr.
McDonald, of Arkansas, offered a reso
lution, which was agreed to, calling
upon the Commissioner of Inteinal
Revenue to furnih certain details of
information in regard to the number
of spirit distilleries throughout the
country ; the names of the parties fur
nishing spirit meters; their cost, and
the time they were in successful oper
ation. The negro Senator presented
a remonstrance from the negro mem
bers of tiieGeorgia Legislature,against
Mr. Bingham's amendment to the
Georgia bill. In the House of ,Repre
sentatives, t e Tariff bill was discuss
ed and Mr. McCarthy, of New York,
took the floor on the salt duty. Ihe
Deficiency bill called forth a spirited
debate, ii; the course of which Messrs.
Cox, Beck, and Vorhees gave Mr.
Dawt - a ludicrous overhauling for the
inconsistency between his House
speeches In favor of economy, and his
New Hampshire speeches defending
Grant's extravagant administration.—
Mr. Dawes made a lame attempt to
defend himself, but his Democratic in
quisitors had the better of him.

Execution of Itolmer itutl HnUenburjf.
On Wednesday*last the murderers of
the Peighta! family suffered the ex
treme penalty of the law at Hunting
don. The following particulars of the
execution we gather from the Globe:—
The day of the execution was ushered
in by a bright arid golden sun, and
early in the morning the streets were
filled by a throng of people, anxiously
awaiting the hour when the prisoners
would be sent by the last resort of the
law into eternity. Many a thought
was had f>r the prisoners, and even
the boldest hearted must have felt a
nervous quiver as lie contemplated the
scene that was to be enacted to-day.
All tne preparations for the execu
tion had been made in due time The
scaffold was erected in the rear of the
jail, and was twenty-three feet
high. The platform around the
scaffold was about thirteen feet from
the ground, and reached by steps. The
trap doors swing to each side, and ad
mit of a width when open of two and
a half feet. The rope was of the best
h tinp.
Around the jail wall and a short dis
tance from if, there were a number of
platforms erjeted to such a height, by
private citizens, as to afford a full view
of the whole progress of the execu
tion.
We entered the eel! about 8:30 o'clock
and found Buhner lying on his bed
•smoking a cigar and reading a Ger
man Bible, as unconcerned as a man
well could be. Bodenburg was lean
ing against his cell door, looking very
much depressed in spirits and occa
sionally pacing his cell in a very un
easy manner. At 0 o'clock the cell
doors were closed to all but the minis
ters and spiritual advisers.
Bohner was up to a late hour last
nignt, laughing and talking to those
in the ceil, and smoking cigars given
him by those present. Bodenburg was
restless and uneasy, walking his cell
and occasionally consulting his spirit
ual advisers. He did not sleep any,
but Bohner laid down at one o'clock
and slept about two hours. Both ate
a hearty breakfast this morning,
THE EXECUTION*.
Preparatory to bringing the prison
ers from the cell, their hobbles and
manaeies were removed, at a quarter
past-twelve, and their arms pinioned.
At twenty-live minutes after twelve
they were brought from the cell. The
prisoners were taken on to thescalTold,
having to go up a liighl of llfteen
steps. Neither of them showed any
emotion of fear, and remained silent
while the sheriff bound their feet. On
the scaffold near the prisoners were
Sheriff N'eely, Revs. Steekel, Sykes,
an 1 Jas. C. Clarke, and Deputies Fouse
and Weaver.
When their feet had been bound,
Rev. J. Sykes, of Martinsburg, Blair
county, delivered a short prayer in
German.
Bodenburg then produced and read
in German, in a clear and distinct tone,
a paper in which he appealed to Bohn
er to tell the truth about the murder
and exculpate him (Buhner) from any
participation in the killing. (Boden
burg had previously made a confession
in which he charged Bohner with hav
ing shot all three of the victims.]
At the conclusion of the reading
Buhner replied to Bodenburg: "We
have both been in. We are both guil
ty of death."
Bodeahnrg replied i Shame on you;
shame on you, you know that I killed
none."
Rev. Jas. C, Clarke, of this place,
then delivered .. short prayer, beseech
ing Heaven to have mercy on the souls
of the criminals,
The rope was attached by the Slier
iff to the necks of the prisoners at quar
ter of | o'clock. The ministers then
bade them each farewell, after which
Ro.lenburg offered up the following
prayer: "O, Lord Jesus, forgive my
and take my poor soul into ihy
kingdom. Amen, amen, amen."
As soon as his prayer was concluded
the Sheriff covered their heads with
ihe black muslin caps, and bade them
farewell. While they were talking,
the Sheriff waved his hand to Deputy
Foase, who pulled the rope attached
to the prop under the trap doors, and
both the doomed men were launched
into eternity.
They made a few convulsions, but
these were not very perceptible
The opinion was that both died of
strangulation. Bo lenburg died in 11
minutes, and Bolint r in 15 minutes.
Their bodies were taken down
after hanging 25 minutes, and placed in
the coffins, and examined by the
jury. The rope had done its work
as speedily as it could be done—the
image of death was stamped upon
the countenance of each, and where the
rope was attached was a blue mark.
Thus has ended one of the most
dreadful punishments upon two men,
whose deed of unparalleled butchery
of the Peightal family has met with
but few equals in the annals of crime.
Ho mer, contrary to the expectations
of many, was pertectly docile, from
the time of bringing him from
the cell until the drop fell. He took
no advice from the spiritual advisers,
whatever, preferring to rely on his
own communings, and for a few days
past he had been a constant reader of
his Bible, and on the scaffold was
deeply affected Albert, on the other
hand, has listened attentively to the
counsel of Mr. Steckel, and on Mon
day last took sacrament in his cell.
THE C'KOWD.
The crowd in town to witness theex
ecution was immense, and would prob
ably reach 6000, and they availed them
selves of every available position on the
hill to obtain a view of the culprits.
Some of the trees in thecemetery were
filled with spectators; the impromptu
scaffolds around the jail and in the vi
cinity were jammed, and it was with
difficulty that some over-anxious ones
could be kept off ttie walls. The crowd
in the jail yard was also great, the
number probably reaching 400. Fortu
uately for those who witnessed the exe
cution. there was no mismanagement
and therefore no failure. Everything
was done expeditiously and satisfactori
ly; but we think there could be but one
exclamation in the breast of every
spectator when the two unfortuuate
men dangled mid earth and Heaven,
and that is, "may I never look upon
the like ag tin !'£

The number for this State, however, is
believed to be nearly 36,000, as there
have l>een a large number of admis
sions during the past two years, which
cannot be definitely ascertained.
A census of the .State of South Caro
lina taken in 1869 has just been made
public, from which it appears that the
total population is now 700,022 —an in
crease of but 1,314 over what it was in
1860. There are, as shown by thiscen
sus,.s,Bßo less whiteinalesofall ages now
in the State than there were in 1860,
and 11,812 less negro males; while an
Increase of 9,806 white and 9,460 negro
females appears. Of the thirty dis
tricts into which South Carolina is
divided, nineteen show a decrease
and eleven an increase of population—
the increase in the Charleston district
being 65,089, and almost every one of
the "up country districts," or those
Where the whites were most numerous
in slave times, exhibiting an average
decrease of 3,500; showing the tenden
cy of the negro population towards the
sea-coast. Theentire number of white
males 21 and upward now in the
State is given as 91,428; and of negro
males 21 and upward 64,477—a negro
majority of 30,351, 'fhe number of
while children between 6 and 16 shows
an increase of 2,971 over the number

like increase is 1,053. ft is proper to
state that we have no pathetic amount
of belief in the accuracy of this 1869
census, hut give and comment on its
results as furnished. The population
of Charleston, it may be added, is set
forth as 44,923: whites, 20,353] negroes,
24,570; and 5,337 inore females than

A few days ago' Senator Wilson, I
in conversation with Judge Thurman,
remarked by the way of a pleasant
joke, that as there was no vacant seats
on the republican side of the chain bey,
they had concluded to give Revels a

Schenck'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 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 U. Schenek, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment ot pulmonary consumption. The Pul
monic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
lungs, nature throws it off by an easy expectora
tion, for when the phlegin or matter is ripe, a
slight cough will throw it off, aui the patieut has
rest and the lungs begin to boat.
To do this, the-Seaweed Touie and Mandrake
Pills must be freely used to eleao-e the stomach
and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the
food will make good blood
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
removing all obstructions, relax the ducts of Jhe
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 invented ex
cef t 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 Schenck's Mandrake Pills
Liver Complaint is one of the mjst prominent
causes of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the Alkali in the SeiweeJ,
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
into good blood without fermentation or souring
in the stoinach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure !
consumption is, they try to do too much ; they j
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to I
stop night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing !
they derange the whole digestive powers, locking
op the secre'ious, and eventually the patient
sinks end dies.
Dr. schenefc, in his treatment, does not try to
stop H cough, night sweats, chills, or lever. Re
move the cause, and they will all stop of their
own acoord. No one can be cured of Consump
tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Cataarh, Can
ker. Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and stom
ach are male healthy.
If a person has Consumption, ofoourse the lungs
in some way are diseased, either tubercles, ab
scesses, bronchia'irritation, pleura adhesion, or
the lungs are a mass of inflammation and fast de
caying. In auch cases what must he doii6 ! 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 tako Schenck's three medicines, j
which will bring up a lone to the stomach, the
patient will bogin to want food, it will digest easi
ly and make good blood then :he patieut begins
to gain in flesh, and as soon as the body begins to
grow, the lungs commence to hoal up, and the pa
tient gets fleshy an! well. This is the only way
to cure eonsurap'ion.
When there is no long disease, and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed
Tonio aud Mandrake Pills are sufficient without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
freely in all hillious ootnplaints. as they are pcr
footly harmless
Dr. Schenek . who has enjoy d uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs 225
pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in
the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption,
his physicians having pronounced his oaso hope
less and abandoned him to his fate He was cured
by the aforesaid medicines, and since his recovery
