I THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1867. SCHENCK'S IRMDRAKE PILLS. ThU Which ifl One of the Three Great Remedies have made Dr. Bohkxck morn min- oessful In the treatment of Beveral very dan Serous and fatal diseases than any other medical practitioner in the United States. The Mandrake Pills are offered as A BUMSTITL'TE FOR CALOMKI, blue mass, and other preparations of mer cury, which actually produce more suffering and death than the diseases which they pro fess to cure. In confirmation of this fact the allopathio physicians themselves have volun teered their evidence, although they continue to use that pernicious drug most extensively and indiscriminately in their practice. ALLOPATHIC TESTIMONY ACAINST MKIKTRY. Dr. James Hamilton, an eminent allopathio physiciau of England, says: "Among the numerous poisons which have been used for the cure or alleviation of diseases, there are fow which aro more active, and, of course, more dangerous than mercury." "Preparations of mercury," says Dr. Wm. Beach, of Now York, "when they are used either internally or externally lor a considera ble length of time, increase the general action of the heart and arteries, and produce saliva tion, followed by emaciation and debility, with an extremely irritable condition of the whole system. These effects of mercury are ex pressly mentioned or virtually admitted by every author, both ancient and modern, who has directed its use." Tha same author declares that sores, ulcerations of the liver and all kindred disorders, are "much scrofulous lungs, and afrjrravated by the use of mercury." And yet this corrosive mineral, so denounced by the allopathio doctors, i3 prescribed by them almost universally in cases of Liver Complaint, Consumption of the Lungs,Jetc. ! ! It is generally believed by physicians of all schools, that many fatal diseases of tho lungs, and other internal organs, originate in a dis ordered state of the liver. To correct the unhealthy condition of the liver, they give calomel and blue mass because, as they sup pose or pretend, their "Pharmacopieia" offers no better remedy, or none that is less objec tionable and dangerous. THE BUDSTITCTE. , Dr. Schenck avers that his Mandrake Pills will effect every object for which the prepara tions of mercury can possibly be useful; and he declares most solemnly and conscientiously that these Tills may be used with perfect safety in all cases where alteratives or purga tives are required. This medicine acts on the Liver and Stomach, giving energy and a healthy tone to bo h of these organs, without producing any unfavorable reaction and with out impairing the digestive powers or weaken ing the constitution of the patient. It can be proved that hundreds of people have been cured of Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint by the use of this medicine. So powerful and unmistakable is its action on the liver, that some physicians who have witnessed its effects declared that calomel must be one of its ingre dients. But Dr. Schenck protests, and he has made oath before an alderman, that no mine ral substance whatever enters into the compo sition of this medicine. TnE MANDRAKE FILLS are composed entirely of roots and herbs, obtained from the great storehouse of nature, and their salutary effects will appear as soon as the medicine is brought to the test of a fair experiment. Schenck's Mandrake Pills do not produce any nausea or sickness at the stomach; but when given for dyspepsia, it may be proper to use them in connection with Scubnck's Seaweed To.nic. By this judi cious treatment the digestive faculties are speedily restored to their full vigor, and the worst case of indigestion may be cured. When we rellect that the liver is the largest internal organ of the body, that to it is as signed the important duty of filtering the blood and preparing the bile, that it is subject to many disorders, and that when it is diseased or inactive the whole body suffers sympa thetically, it is not surprising that a medicine which can restore the healthy operations of the liver should produce wonderful changes in ' the general health, and effect cures which may appear to be almost miraculous. Head aches of long continuance, severe pains in the side, breast, and shoulders, aching of the limbs, a feeling of general weakness and wretchedness, and other alarming or distress ing symptoms, indicative of imperfect or dis ordered action of the liver, are speedily re moved by the use of Schenck'a Mandrake rnis. Costiveness, Piles, bitter or sour eructations, and that indescribable feeling of oppression, mental anxiety, langonr, lethargy, and de pression of spirits which unlit a man for the xnanagememt of business and the enjoyment of life, are all relieved by the use of Schenck's Mandrake Pills. Dr. J. II. Schenck is professionally at his Principal Office, No. 15 North Sixth street, corner of Commerce street, Philadelphia, every Saturday, where all letters for advice rn net be addressed. TTo U also nrofessionally at No. 32 Bond Street, New York, every Tuesday, and No. w Hanover street, Boston, every Wednesday.

The Jewish Passover Its Modern Okskr vanck. Tills solemn festival, in commemora tion ot the dellveranee of the ancient Jews ont of K'. ypl to them n land of bondage and ser vl.lty, and In icmembruuce of the ulglit before their departure, wheu the destroying nngel jutsseil over their houses and put the first-born of the Egyptians to death will commence this evening at 11)$ o'clock, and will be colebratod with all that solemnity and humbleness char acteristic of the Jewish Church. This festival Is known, too, ns tlio"Koust of Ar.ymos" or unleavened bread, from the circumstance that the Israelites, in their flight, bure thnir knowl-ing-trouglis tilled with dough uuleuveuud upon their shouldeiN. The orlod of thoFenstof tho Passover con sists of seven days, and will accordingly come on Kaiurday evening, April 21st. 1'ho first two days, counting the commencement evou liiens one, and the last two days, ure to be Blrictly observed; on these all secular employ ments are discarded, and the complete atten tion of the celebrants must be gi veil to the soli inn dufes enjoined upon them by immemo rial usane, and the creed of the cnuroh. On the four intervening days, woik Is allowable, they being considered us half holidays. Uu the evening ol i lie commencement day (Friday) tne Pnsciml lamb, which according to the Mosaic law, shall be a male without defect, and of th it year, a type prefiguring the oll'e lug of the spot less Hon of Uou, will be slain, aud it' the law of Moses be strictly adhered to, the lamb will be eaten the same night, roasted, together with unleavened bread, various herbs, and vegetables. It la furljiden to eat auy part raw or boiled; nor is it allowable to break a boue; and should any remain from the eating, It was to be burned. In bygone days It was tho rule for all who partook of the body of the lamb and the unleavened bread, to sit In the attitude of travellers, with their loins girt about, stall's in their bands, shoes on their feet, and to observe a hurried deportment, lnhmitatiou of those who v, ere anxious to bo up und on their journey, liut lu lntter days this custom lias fallen into disuse, and Is only practised by the few who consider it an inviolate duly to live us did the fathers of old. On Saturday, the first day proper of the period of I'esach, tho grand feast will take place, wherein nil tiie religiousdutiesaudcelebrations will be conducted in a manner comporting with tho due solemnity of the event. This day, aud the two last of tho period, are the only days whero full and peculiar religious services are rendered, iiread dare not bo eaten from 9 o'clock A. M. on the lilth Inst. (Friday) until after sundown on the 27iL lust., aud on toe first two nights, while at supper, tho history of the Jews in boudauc, under I'hitntoli lu Egypt, shall be read aloud in each family. Although the strict woisliip and celebration of this holy feast is somewhat degenerating iu populous places, as is evident, yet ills on served in lessor communities with all the customs of the past preserved intact, and with all the impresslveness which attends worship on such a sncred anniversary. eJhould you step into a family circle during the service of the Passover, the salutalinu received would be "Peace be with you." You would observe, too, the lresh appearance of all things. The lloors are washed to an almost perfect whiteness, then sprinkled with sand, both yellow and rod. Every cup of metal is scoured to a whiteness unsurpassed; every uisu to be used lsirosn from the wash: una every utensil, uowever un gainly, If it be used lu the service, will be clean arm lieui. l uu uiu.v, ii iu tunc, uusci va iiih preparation of the Passover cakes, which bear such an important part iu the ceremony. From the large lumps of kneaded, unleavened dough will be taken small portions, manipu lated into small, tmn, rouuu canes, wnicu oy the younger portion of the family will undergo pricking, by way ofAoruamentatlon. The ever-inemorauie seveu-orancueu lamp will be brought into requisition, and a card bearing upon its face the word " mixrach," meaning east, is nung on mat part oi me room nearest the supposed site of Jerusalem, to which card all fuces are turned while at prayer. After attending tne synagogues wuereme taiui ful are called to prayer, each family retires to its home and commences the tjeder, the most Important ceremony connected with the foast of Azymes. After the table has received its spread, a small book containing the chants and prayers, ana illustrated wnu numerous en- f;ravlng8 typical of the (departure of the Jews, s placed upon eacli plate. Surrounded on all sides with various vegetables are the three Passover cakes, separated each by a nap kin. Of the emblematical articles used, the marmalade typified cualK, clay, and bricks, wherein me jews were conuemeu to niuur uy the Egyptian rulers; .bitter herbs, etc., were Illustrative of the sorrow they endured while in bondage; and a bone having upon It but a slight vestige of meat renreBenting the paschal lamb that was slain. The cups, with which each person at the table is lurnisneu, being filled with the best of "Rhenish Faleriau," the eldest son taking an ewer, pours water over the hands of bis father, while the latter and all tne guests, rising and stretching forth their arms, uenu to tne centre oi toe muio. "While performing this the son repeats irom the JJagyada, ithe Hebrew book of prayer; "llehold the bread of sorrow our fathers at in Egypt: whoever is poor, let him take his pass over with us; whoever is hungry, let him come and eat With us." ir questions ot) ssneu me father as to t he mean ing of this, he replies: "We were slaves lu Egypt, and the Lord our God has brought us out with a mighty hand and a stretched out arm !" The Bible story of the Jews In bondage Is recited, and each taste of the various articles set berore tnem. i mis enus the first part of the aeder, which is generally followed by good cheer of substantial qualities. Suddenly solemnity is restored, prayers fol low; aud a Passover cake divided, placed upon a napkin typines tne passage oi lue iveu am. The lather then directs the eldest son to open a door that leads without; this being done, silence reigns supreme, until ltisoeiieveu Dy an tuai the spirit prophet had entered aud partaken of the wine set anart for him. After singine selec tions of the Psalms, followed by a prayer, the religions part of the festival Closes. Xhis manner aescrioea is irequeuuy uunwvcu by large portions of the Jewish community, and we doubt not that to some extent it will be practised in this city at the coming least, x ne eererrinnina of the various Jewish synagogues of the city to-morrow, and on the succeeding Saturday, will doubtless be of a most interest ing nature, ana snouia can lorm a gouu uueuu ance to their observance. A Belligerent. An individual, long, lank, and shabbily dressed, apparently from the Northeast, named Jethro Spauldlng, was destined yesterday to fall in witn some heavy farmers hailing from the immortal "liucks," at ilteenui ana Rhippeu streets. A discussion ensued, whereln.lt Is almost unnecessary to slate, pollts had an important bearing. The micas cumay representative neggeu leave 10 differ with the gentleman from the North. The Northeastern delegate offered some remarks ex planatory oi ins position. The speaker of the liucks county delegation stolidly refused to allow this, when, to their astonishment, Jethro pucneu uno mem witn a "Dash me, it I dont !" and, in a Pickwickian sense, begun to lay about film, imitating me famed waterman brass labelled he spotted a heavy delegate in the paunch, toppled a light member In the ribs, defaced tne ueuuuear oi a triira, and with a mlien coup at mam Knoctceu wind ami con sciousness out of all three, and then mada ntr.
