5 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAM. FIIIL AD ELPJTI A, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 18C7. Another Speech by Dr. St-henck. Dr. Bchenck was at his decant rooms In llaiitwr street on Saturday, on the occasion of -in weekly visit. As usual, there was a great ruth of paiicuts, coming Irom almost every por tionof New England. The Doctor, who la wise and shrewd, saw at a glance what could and what could not be done in the few remaining hours of the day, and, entering the reception rooms, proceeded to address those present, glv lng, HA will be seen, some very excellent coun sel. The Doctor deals in common scne, makes plain statements, and knows what he say?. He spoke as follows: Ladies and (3ent lemon: I see there are more here than I can properly attend to, and so J inuet try and manage it to get at a number of you at a time. Many of you only want a little advice. You have seen me before. Some of you have come a long dis tance, and aro apparently too feebie to wait jour turn. Those that wish a thorough exami nation with the lietpirometer I will take into my private room as soon as possible. My charges are five dollars for an examination. I can listeu to your lun.es, and tell pretty well their condition, but if you want to know their exact btatc whether it is Bronchial, Tubercu lous. Pleuritic, or Pulmonary Consumption, and whether jou are curable or not you must be examined with the Respiroiueter. It is the only proper way of auscultating. Consumption can be cured; lungs deeply diseased can be healed up if the sjstem is pot into a healthy, healing condition. The course pursued by the majority ot physicians is all wrong. They never cure. Their Cod Liver Oil and Whisky only ruin the stomach. I Irequently, in rid'angln the cars, get seated by consumptives. They have all their traps for drinking with them, and as soon as they get into a pell ot coughing they take a drink of whi-ky. And so they go on, and many drink a quart a day. Take a we 1 man, and let him drink in this way, and he will soon lose his appetite. Many of you have a cough, night sweats, creeping chills; and you all waut to have tliem stopped. You think you would be so much better. What causes it? The dis eased lungs. Get them to healing, and they will stop. If your lungs arc diseased, the first and only thing to be done Is to get the strength; and the only way to do that Is to cleanse the stomach and liver; then the ttomach will crave food, and make good blood, and that blood will give strength, and the lungs will begin to heal. If both lungs are not too badly affected, with my Mandrake Tills, Sea-Weed Tonic, and Pulmonic Syrup I can frequently effect the roost wonderful cures of Consumption. A cure frequently requires gentle purging for some length of time, to get the stomach and liver to act naturally. Tha Sea-Weed Tonic being an alkali, preserves the lood in the stomach until it is digested, pre venting it from souring. Now, in almost all cases of lung diseases, the action of the system Is so slow that food lies in the stomach and sours. Blood is made ot it after it is spoiled; and this is the way our blood gets thick and bad. Canker, Sore Throat, and Catarrh pro ceed from this sour stomacn. Burning out the throat witd caustic and gargles afford only tem porary relief. It should be treated the same as when the tongue is coated, or sick headacne. The caute Is tbe same. It proceeds from a sour or a deranged state of the stomach. (Jet up a stood appetite, eat good, rich food, fat meat, gravy In fact, uearly everything the appetite craves and the lungs will soon begin to heal. No matter whether the sore is inside or outside, if the svstem is healthy it will heal up. You can bardly stop it. It is its nature to heal. You may notice persons that have Scrofula or any old chronic running ulcers; they are all of a feeble or bilious condi tion, their digestion Is poor, and they have not healthy circulation of blood. Some three or four years ago a lady, Mrs. Bartholomew, came to my rooms, No. 32 Bond street, New York; she had a tumor, with two running ulcers on her liver, which hud been running fourteen years, and they kept getting worse. She was costive, skin yellow, very fctupid and dull, liver and stomach torpid, and no circulation. In three months I ran the disease all out. Tbe ulcers healed, and she is now a bright, healthy woman. Now, there is one very important matter to be attended to in curing consumption, and that is to prevent taking cold. Your physi cian may tell you to go out every pleasant day. This, lu my opinion, is a great mistake. Per sons in health go out and take colds. When I can persuade paticuts to keep their rooms, I am almost sure of success. Fresh air is not essential to the healing of diseased lungs; tbe great secret is to prevent taking cold. When they are able they can exercise about the rooms to get tbe blood in circulation. The directions which accompany my medicines are so explicit that any one can take them without seeing me There is not a day but what I hear of some who have been cured that 1 never saw. Take the medlciue, and guard against taking cold. If the lungs are not too far gone the stomach will fcoonrcleaus iUelf, and the appetite will come. Eat plenty ot good food, and nature will heal the lungs. As I said before, do not depend on something to ease the cough, to stop night sweats and creeping chills. Some persons may think, w hen I speak of taking cold, that my midioines mav open the pores and lav them more liable; but U is right the reverse of Kris, for w hen the stomach is cleansed, persons are not so liable to take cold as when the system is locked up. Frequently, when people take a cold, if they would swallow a dose of Mandrake Pills It would work itofl; but Instead of this they take something to chock it, which drives It back to the lungs, leaving tbe aeeds for tuocrcles or the next slight cold and Inflammation of the lung I have talked much longer than I Intended to.but when I start I get so anxious to convince people how eay it is to Iwep well and ieel tit for busi ness, that I do not know where to stop. When the stomach ii out of order you are sick all a. anri if vnu keeD that right you cannot help but be healthy and fleshy. Look at me, Once I was in the last stage of consumption, as tall as I am now, and I weighed less than one hnmirp.i nnmiH. Mv father, mother, brother, and sinter all died ot cousumption-a family eomDlaiut and here I am uow, weighing two hundred and thirty pounds, cured Dy ine name medicineg I offer to jou. I do not wish to be understood that my medicine cure all. A great many die that take them. They commence too late, and tbeir lungs are too far gone. Tbeir ttomacb and liver are o much congested and I am sorry to say, frequently by the use of Bour bon Whinky to pet them into action. The Man drake Pills contain no calomel or mercury; they are perfectly harmless, and carry off tho bile better than blue pill or any other purgative ever t?oncCted. t'aae of Ittnr Mullln, To the Editor of the Evening Telegraph: PuiLADF.i.rniA, February 3, 18G7.

We have already annouueed in Tim Kvknino Ti i.EOFApn. the fact that the Order of Ancient York Mn.-onsliflve determined to erect a mag nificent Masonic Temple at llrosd and Filbert stieets, lor the accommodation of this large and, lapidly Increasing brotherhood. In view ot this tact the question has arisen, What shall be done with the present Masonic Hull on Cliesnut Mreet, above Seventh, when vacated? It was supposed that the Order of 0 Id Fellows would puicha?e it, but to suit toat jrdcr very radical chaneca would have to be made in tbe entire interior construction ot the Had, an i the ex pense would approximate the amount needed to build a new Ha l ot less ImooJtng appear ance.' It has been suggested that tbe city should be tlip purchaser ot the Masonic Hall, and we think the succesiion a very Important and appropriate one We believe the city would be benefited, and the members ot th Order eem rally plened with such a disposal of the buildlPB. If the city authorises should pur chase the Hall, accommodations could bo had for all of the City Departments, with slight alterations, under one loof. There is amnio room for Select and Common Council Clumbers, Major's 0 Dice, SbiTitl's Ollice, Central Station and Detective Police Kooms, Coroner's Ollice, and the City Treasurer. Kenister of Wills, Rj coiderot Deeds, City Commissioners, Receiver ol Tiixes, Trustees ol Girard KsUtc, and Indeed allot thi! city otliclals, might be placed here. This arrangement would be a great convenience to tho public, and we trust that our mural otli cials will take the matter In hand, and make a thorough inquiry as to its feasibility. We would HVe to have the State House and its appendages lull ot past recollections, and under the sacred guardianship onlv of our Pour's of law . Stopped Their Little Itame. About half an hour after midnight on Sunday morning, ao attempt was made to rob the ary goods store of Mr. Diinicl Allman, at the southwest corner of Figbth and Spriner Garden streets. Oilicer John li. Jones, whilst patrolling his beat in that locality, discovered two burglars very busy at the side window of Mr. Allmau's plaeo.
