Tbe prufonndrxt philosopher, after havta .pent tVir Htc In diving Into the deepest .ecretsof natorr, eiplor- ioir all Urie wnndera of icionoe, and experimenting upon both the palpabre and imponderable forces forces and organism., apply to their invest ifrntlnns the vigor of pene tration, the mighty annlysi. of roason, and the lofty flights of genius. They have roncludod their lives' labors with ipresstons of disappointment, declaring with touching ingennonsness that tho vast resources of nature wore be yond the most subtle sfTorts of the human mind. Instance Newton's intense joy on discovering tho laws of gravitation. Yet some triumphs are won by picking up pebbles evsn (mm the dssp secrete of Newton's ocean, and we may obtain scintillations full of wonder, and tbo grandett advantage to science and to human happiness. What may live In the undiscovered ocean of happiness, who can tell? Tbore are truths that blind the superficial intellect ; there Is a power of light whoie ra diant brilliancy dnxiles the eye with the exoossos of Its glory. May it not be said to be so with the wonderful re- vealment of man's spiritual nature, one oi the grandest, boldest, loftiest attainments to which mortal ever reached, from the abyss of the unknown, the abjss whose existence a Newton confesses, an abyss that con tains one thousand facts and principles man baa not dreamed of, is eliminated the grand fact tbat man's spiritual nature controls his whole being; that when a man's spiritual entity is put into intimate rela tions with another and more controlling entity, tho most astonishing and apparent results are obtained. Such re sults, for instance, as those which at this moment are milk ing every cirvln of society in Philadelphia ring with the name of J. 11. Knit ley, M. D., the wonder worker, the con troller of occult powers of nature. Todnny the possibility of these results is to deny their renlitv. and to deny their reality is wilfully to shut thoir njun ... utiiii , v ti y .-o inni, .iu. uuiui iim mil, uiio very moment taking place in rliiladolpbia. Let the doubter, the scollcr, the denier, say if he can, and on what ground be disputes tbe piinciples and the Facts of the spiritual hypothesis, if he knows all the undiscovered ocean contains, then his denial is logical ; if one-tenth remains to him unknowa, how can he say that truth is not the very ono Dr. Kutley is now proclaiming before the publio of I'hiladoluhia. of all the vast universe, material and spiritual. Hers stands tbe fact: Without meclcine. without implements, wall out torturing the body, without deranging its functions or interrupting I he play of its organs, its derangements a-e removed its departures from normal health are corrected, deficient vitality repaired, and distorted capabilities restored to harmony, by thus touch ing the very spring and souroo of life. Ily im pelling the spiritual nature and stimulating tbe mysterious Psyche, the absolute of humanity in its rsM-nce lost powers, come back, departed energy revives. 1... UF ..,! i I .... 1 . . . . ' stems and fluids are brought to the pristine vigor of well balanced physical, mental, emotional, and moral exist ence. To the iuiellUront mind only give powerovenhe source and origin ot man's vitality, and yon give him power over each individual portion of tho compound being. It is a poesusaion of Una power, whether mediately or immediately we am not n iw disoiisaiux, that gives to Ir. Rnttley the tremendous faculty of enabling the lame to walk, of giving expression to tbe paralyzed tongue, hoarint; to the siseased ear, motion to tho thiging heart., and sight to the blind eye. Does tbo roadcrsty such doeds are above nature and such weighty rusults incompatible with tbe limited powers of many Let him look for the ansxer to tho assertion ot those who wero lumo and now walk, wbo were blind and now see, who were deaf and now hwir, Tbore is nothing hidden or dark about it.

US11 PHILADELPHIA, PA, eOHENOK'S COLUMN. CONSUMPTION CAM BE CUBED. BEAD THE EVIDENCE. "Facts arc stubborn things," and it is to fact alono that It is desired to direct the attention of the readers of this article. Many yenra of severe and thorough practical trial have demonstrated beyond the perad venture: of a doubt tho fact that the medicines prepared by me, and known ns SCIIENCK'S MANDRAKE. PILLS, SCIIENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC, and SCIIENCK'S PULMONIU SYRUP, have proved extraordinarily successful in the cure of diseases of the Pulmonary organs, or what is usually termed CONSUMPTION. I am fully aware that there are many persons whose prejudices rule them so completely that "proofs strong as Holy Writ" would fail to con vince them of the efficacy of my remedies; and that there are others who, under no circum stances, could be prevailed upon to admit their merits, simply because such an admission would prove detrimental to their particular personal interests. Fortunately for tho welfare of mankind, these doubting people form a comparatively small Eortlon of the community at largo. They are U e found hero and there, but, compared with the f;rcut mass of the world's population, their num icrs are so small that I dismiss them, and ad dress myself to those who are willing to listen to the dictates of reason, rod who are disposed t admit the B'.ronir ionic of well-established facts. Wo are told almost daily that Consumption, the scourge of llio American people, is incurable-,, that a niuii whose lungs are diseased must be given over to die; that he must abandon hops: and that the arrangement of his temporal as well as spiritual n flairs sliould claim his earliest atten tion. If there were not fuels as undeniable as that tho sun will shlue in a clear heaven at mid day to controvert these random and not nnfre qucutly harmful assertions, I should feel un willing to take up the gage of battle against them; but, fortilied with results acts which neither theory nor mere nssortion can overturn, I propoKO to prove tbat CONSUMPTION CAN accordance with the directions, in a majority of cases effect that which tho faculty pronounce, impossible they will cure Consumption. An ounce of solid fact is worth a pound ot theory. Let mo, tucrefore, present the facta connected with my own individual experience. Many years ago I was a confirmed consumptive,. , and, like thousands of other unfortunates, was kItcu up to die. Eminent physicians pro nounced my case a hopeless one, and told me that if Iliad any preparations to make for the fiual solemn event, that I had better make them, speedily. I believed this just as confidently as did the persons who thus affectionately informed mo that my days were nuiabered and that re- . covery was impossible. Still, the desire to lire linecrcd hi my bosom. I was young, and clung to life wilti the same tenacity that young men, ' and old men too, ordinarily do. I did not feel w illing to abandon hope as long as a single ves tige ot it. remained. I had full faith in the sad -hifonijitiioii conveyed to mo by my physicians, but still there was a lingering belief that some- . tliinir rould lift dntip. tliomrh I knew not. In nhiit direction to sock for the much-desired relief. It was at this gloomy and eventful period of my litory that I first learned of the roots and herbs freni which my remedies for this dreaded disease urc now prepared. I procured and UBed them, and, to tho utter amazement of all phy sicians, friends, and neighbors began to im prove. My entire system commenced to undergo a complete renovation. Expectoration, which formerly had been difficult and painful, now be came comparatively easy. I threw off daily largo quantities of offensive yellow matter. At the same timo my long-lost appetite returned. I ate freely f such food us was palatable to me, aud which was at the same time nutritious and wholesome. Expectoration became loss copious and less offensive; exhausting night sweats ceased ; the racking aud harassing cough abat,,. the fever broke; the pain departed; flesh planter itself on my sadlj'-wasted frame, and with flesh eumo strength and full health. From a mero skeleton I became a stout, strong, robust man and I have maintained both strength and flesh to Mis day. i weigh two nunured and thirty five pounds ; I am bleet with an appetite vouch safed to but few men, while my digestive organ are amply equal to all the requirements of a healthful condition of my system. Now, be it remembered, all these wonderful changes were wrought by the use of the medi cines I prepare MANDRAKE PILLS, SEA WEED TONIC, and PULMONIC SYRUP. A cure seemingly so miraculous naturally created astonishment in the minds of those who knew me. I wan literally besieged on all aides. I had visitors daily who besought me to give them the remedies which had wrought the wonderful restoration and bad wrested me from the very laws of death. Letters wcro received by score importuning me to impart tho secret and inform, the writers where tbe specifics for consumption could be obtained. Others, who were too weak to travel, not satisfied with writing, sent for and consulted me in regard to their cases. To all these applications I responded as I was able. 1 had fully regained my health, and gratitude for the happy result prompted me to turn my attention to the science ot medicine, with the hope of thereby being able to be of service to my suffering fellow-creatures. I devoted myself closely to my studies, and more especially to that branch of them relating to the terrible dis ease from which I had suffered so long and so much. 1 investigated it in all its fearful phases, in order to assure myself that my case was not an exceptional one. The closer my investiga tions tho more satisfactory were my conclusions. I felt convinced that tens of thousands of my fellow-creatures were dying annually from con sumption whose cases were not as desperate and apparently hopeless as mine had been, and I argued from this that remedies which had proven so effective with me would prove equally so with others. I prepared my medicines in a pleasant and attractive form, and announced them to tho world. The results are well known. Thou sands of suffering men, women, and children, w ho were on their way to the grave, have been cured, and are to-day living evidences of the fact that CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED; and I think I may say, without arrogating to myself any more than is justly my duo, that I have had as much experience In the treatment of consumption as any other person in the coun try, and that my success has been wonderfully great. Let the reader romcmber that these are not mere fancied statements. They are positive living facts of which I am the living evidence. There is an old adage which says, "What has been done may be done." I have been com plately cured of consumption by the remedies I now offer to the public. Thousands of others have testified to similar happy results from theU use, and thousands of others still might be bene fitted as I have been coald they but be prevailed upon to try the virtue of Ttis Mandrake Pills, tkaweed Tonic, and 1'ulmonio Byrup. All that Is necessary to convince the most skeptical of their merits is a fair trial. Full directions accompany each of the medi cines, so that it is not absolutely necessary that patients should see mo personally, unless they dCBire to have their lungs examined.
