TILE GETTYSBURG RAILROAD, ITS CONNEXIONS, PROSPECTS AND VALUE. AU the indications point to the early completion of the Western. Maryland Railroad to Hagerstown and Williams port. At the latter point, it will inter sect the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and thus secure access to the vast bituminous coal region of Allegany county, Md. Coal operators and por tions of the Baltimore public have long been dissatisfied with the charges and general policy of the Baltimore atld Ohio Railroad Company, and that community appear now fully ready to assist in building and opening a new and competing line of transportation. lialtimore City has a fltrther stimulus to press the Western Maryland road, in the fact that only by completing it can the City save the large investMent already made in it. The interests which are thus combined in favor of the Western Maryltuid enterprise are so strong that we hive no doubt the necessary means will be raised to finish it, at an early day. This subject comes home -very near to us. Our County is deeply interested in it, as its result will be to give us the use of bituminous coal, hitherto prac tically denied, add will help to lower the price of the anthracite, and will give us the benefit of important addi tional railroad connexions. For we assume, beyond any doubt, that if the Western Maryland road be made, the Gettysburg road will be speedily ex tended to the Mountain where it has the right to connect with the Western Maryland. This can be accomplished with little expense, as the old State road can be occupied almost the entire distance, for most of which it is al ready graded, and partially bridged.— With this ddne, there will then be but the line from New Oxford to York wanting to complete a new interior line from the Cities of New York and Philadelphia to the coal fields of Mary land. It is morally certain that the enormous coal interests of those Cities will eagerly grasp at this opportunity to secure a short and cheap coal con nexion, which they have long desired but have never before been capable of effecting with so slight cost. Besides, there is no reason to doubt that the Pennsylvania railroad, which is the real owner of the Cumberland Valley Railroad, will push au exten sion of the latter from Hagerstown and Williamsport down the Shenandoah— thus Lapping the Virginia line of Im provements and drawing the varied products of that fertile region over the new outlets to Northern Cities. This would put our town upon a through line of road, and give our com munity the incalculable advantages of numerous connexions, increased speed, and enlarged facilities; and would greatly assist in developing the re sources of the county and increasing its wealth. By these circumstances, the value of the existing charter of our Railroad Company, and of the Railroad itself, must be considered as much increased. The point is no huger, what is the money-value of the grading, the iron and, the fixtures composing the road bed ? but, what is the money-value of all this and of the work already done on the old State mad, and of the right of connexion with other roads west of us—all which are the property of the Gettysburg Railroad Company. The unfinished work on the old State road, which could be used on the new line, could not be built under a half million dollars. Hitherto, this element has not entered into the computation of value, because until the present time the probability of using this work has been remote. Now, it is immediate, and the value of it becomes a matter of great importance. In this view, we shall regret the pre cipitate sale of the road, should this occur. But we are aware that influ ences foreign to our County and its interests have been placed, by means which it is not our province now to esamine or criticise, in the ownership of the majority of the stock ; and we are not sure that it is now possible to effect any delay. But we are satisfied that the value of the road and its fran chises,is double the $200,000 which has ben frequently pronounced the max imum price expected to be realized; and that movements now.in progress Will soon prove this Gettysburg Rail raad property to be one of the most Valuable and desirable now In market.

Ham nit srhOreahlii: near Carlisle in ids 9049 rear..., asps nex a pertion of the ;Allele: - - Gov. Ritner's faculties are impaired to such an extent that it was only by the most persistent effort in an interview I bad with him the other day that I succeeded in bring ing back his recollection to the events of the past In vrtileli be played a leading part, and in relation to which he .bas been so much traduced. In answer to the first question that I ventured to address to him, he said : "Yes, I knew Thaddeus Stevens well. When I was Governor he was a member of the Legislature." But when I adverted to the influence Mr. Stevens was popularly supposed to have exerted over him as the Executive, I found.it very diffi cult to make my meaning plain , to him.— Having come here on purpose to see him That he might have an opportunity of giv ing expression to his feelings in regard to the departed statesman, now that Thaddeus Stevens is dead, and his own long life near its close, I was determined not to go away unsatisfied. • "People used to call Mr. Stevens your oracle, and the keeper of your conscience, Mr. Ritner," I said, "and some even went so far as to declare that be compelled you to appoint a Carel Commissioner in 1838." By repeating the question in vari ous forms, even putting it in the shape of a direct charge that Stevens had appointed himself to office while Ritner was Govern or, lat length succeeded in getting a dis tinct answer, which was confirmed by his children, as the declarations of his enure retirement. "Stevens and I often differed," he said, "and when we could not agree I always had my own way. When I appointed him a Canal Commissioner I wanted a man of in flexible will and indomitable energy, and I thought he was such a man." That this is the whole story in relation to the "oracle" business I doubt not, and that the old "Pennsylvania Dutch" Governer j udges Mr. Stevens correctly cannot be disputed. Joseph Ritner is a true type of the Penn sylvania Dutchman of the past generation —a race as worthy as it has been niisrepre• seated- Conventional politeness is-not a trait of his or of theirs, but the genuine heartiness which allows you to help your self at meals provides an ample store from which to follow the injunction of the host to his guests, "Help yourselves."- I dined with this old man, and found all the social customs of his family to correspond with those of the neighboring fanners round about him. There seemed to be no linger ing echoes of Executive dinners resounding about his household, and the republican simplicity and virtue of his day were in nothing more apparent than in this, unless they were betrayed by a remark of his un married daughter: "When father was a candidate for office be fbund it dreadfully expensive, his payments for postage being as-much as $4 a week." Apropos of his daughters, is al old story that. used to be told at the Governor's expense : "Ma," said one of these young ladies, soon after Mn. Rinaer's election to the Gubernatorial position, "will we all be Governors now ?" "so," answered the mother, "only pap and me." In answer to a question in relation to his age, Mr, Ritner said he was 90 years old.— When I observed the merry and self-con scious twinkle in the old man's eye as ho told me this, I could not but smile at the pride that length of days begets. Joseph Ritner was born near the city of Reading, in Berks county, March 25, 1790. He re ceived no education in youth, except six months' instruction at a private school of very mean pretensions. Yet he rose to the highest offices in the State. The family of Gov. Ritner is in every way a most simple and unaffected one. His son Jacob is a farmer worth nearly $100;000, which he made by steady but unassisted la bor, avoiding speculation and all extraneous methods of amassing wealth. On the other hand, Gov. nitner himself never acquired much property.. He removed from serks to Cumberland county when a mere lad, and hired himself to a farmer, with whom he lived until he married. At the time of his marriage he was scarcely more than twenty years old. A few years afterward he emigrated to Westmoreland and then to Washington county, in the western part of the State.. In 1820, he was nomiumed by the Whig party as a candidate for the State Legislature, and served in that body for seven successive years, occupying, during his last two terms, the position of Speaker of the House. He illustrated his political simplicity to me in a very peculiar manner, attributing his popularity to a cause that would not readily occur to a politician of the present day. "When people came into the House," he said, "they always saw me, and asked 'Who is that man in the chair? , `That is Mr. Ritner, our Speaker.'" Gov. }Liner tells another little anecdote not less illpstrative of his political simplicity. On the evening of the day when be was first nominated for the Legislature his wife told him, after they had retired, that their neigh bor, the miller, was going to Taylorstown the next day to oppose him. "Quit sob bing, my dear," he answered, "I will go, too, about 10 o'clock, and if he abuses mo I will lick him." In 1828 Mr. Rimer was defeated as the Whig candidate for the State Senate, and the next year he was,for the first time the Anti-Masonic candidate for Governor. Un successful in that year, he was also defeated in 1832, but was elected over Gov. Wolf in 1835. In 1838, he was defeated by Gov. Porter, though he always considered him self defrauded of his re-election. After his retirement trom the Executive chair—there was no Executive mansion at Harrisburg at that time, and the Governor lived in his own hired Lome—Gov, Ritner bought a farm in Cumberland county and resumed the occupation of his younger days. Here he lived in the peaceful pursuits of husbandry uatil the death of his wife and his own years admonished him to seek a home with his children. In 1840 he sought the office of Collector of the Port of Phila delphia from President Harrison, but was appointed Treasurer of the Mint in that city by President Tyler. He held the office a few months only owing to the failure of his confirmation in the Senate. During the last .30 years Gov. Ritner has not hold of fice. He has always taken great interest in politica, however and his last vote was for President Grant. Gov, Ritner may not be a great man, and he is certainly not a very learned man, but be deserves especial honor in this, that he raised himself from ignorance and obscurity to the highest offices in the State. And his Mfonnation on many subjects would do no discrsdif to men of much greater preten sions. Even in Pennsylvania he has never been thoroughly understood. While a member of the Rouse of Representatives be made many speeches, and his speeches were always able—so able, in fact, that he was feared by his opponents on account of his strong and straightforward denunciations of the wrong. In 1836 the school law, which had passed through a fiery ordeal the pre ceding yeir was revised so as to better adapt it to the wants of the people, and Gov. Eis ner, who had been the long and consistent friend of education, declared his purpose to see the law enforced, In spite of the 9P position of its tumuli" and it was enforced. About all this I found it ditgeult 16 1 talk to him owing to the demkr of his Iseulties, but, in the broken afferent* of hill , *bettered memories I coral 4149$ Use etkON Ipso which always dimbigtgibeir ,„ *work kit his reset , • the htstory of his Urn such as few men, e • them.

Both loved liberty and hated cant, and their strong intellects proved of signal service t. their State and age. THE course of Democracy, like that of true love, never runs smooth. Its pathway is beset with all manner of troubles, and its leaders - have a' s , :rious task in trying to Make their followers "come to time" on every occasion.— One of the latest causes of their solici tude has been the election of a Super intendent of Common Schools in this comity. The defeat of their favorite, Mr. SHEELY, it will be remembered, brought forth from our neighbr of the Compiler a most dismal wall, which, it seems, has penetrated even the most obscure parts of the distressed political camp` and is eliciting the most affect ing sympathetic responses, The Han over Citizen, not to be behind in the condolence line, offers its tribute.— "Mr. Wnwr," says the Cltizcn, is not only "a Republican," bat is one of "the most extreme type," and it "can not comprehend why the Democrats of Adams allowed Mr. SHEELY to be de feated in the manner they did." But the Citizen is not only concerned shoo' the present. It has also fearful r 4.:, bodings of the future. "Befi..,_ .Ir. WERT'S time expires," it is "I—sltire the Democrats of Adams will 'egret their indifference as indicated in this . Instance." As no other class of people will bare any reason to "regret" the election of Mr. WERT, we are really sorry for the Democracy. Theirs is a truly deplorable condition ; but we venture to suggest that the Citizen might have spared their lacerated feel ings, and not reprimanded them in such an unmerciful style. TH Copperhead papers are trying "to crow" over the result of the late Judi cial election in Michigan.

The capitol building is deserted, the carpeting ist the Senate and House chambers torn up, furniture in disorder, and a singu lar quiet pervades its vast corridors, except as it is broken by the footsteps of an occa sional visitor. The crowd of politicians and office seekers who usually throng the streets during the sessions of C ingress are not to be seen. One misses the bustle and confusion which usually characterize the hotels, while the President and Heals of Department arc enjoying comparative im munity from the persistent demands of place-seekers. The War for the suppression of the Re bellion; however, which has been a won derful educator in the Republic, overturn ing old ideas and introducing new eras, has made its impression, on the city of Wash iugton, and its effects arc patent to the occasional visitor in the hum of business activity heard on all sides. From the or ganization of the Government down to 1891, the Slave Power was dominant in the capi tal of the Republic and ruled its social life as despotically as it ruled the councils of the nation. It brought with it Southern ideas and Southern habits—a negation of toil and the enjoyment of luxurious indo lence. Largely a city of strangers and temporary, residents, dependent for its business upon the money expended during she ew months of official life, with a social ostracism repulsive to intelligent labor and wanly industry, for long years it was emi nently a dronish city, distinguished mainly for its "magnificent distances" and bewild ering interlacing of streets. With the breaking down of the Slave Oligarchy has come a marked change. The universal Yankee, no longer tabooed by despotic and perverted social laws, has come in—"Yan keeised" the city, and it is rapidly assum ing the aspect of a great Metropolis, with the badges of active and increasing indus try patent to the eye and ear. Just at present, the politicians are busily at work preparing for the Municipal strug gle in June. Manhood Suffrage is recog nized here under Congressional enactment, and the colored vote is a power. It has been almost unanimously Republican, but the Democratic politicians are working hard to secure enough or it to control the election. They have succeeded in buying over some few active colored men, of easy virtue, who are put forward at the ward meetings as decoys for others. It would be a queer sight for one of our Adams county Democrats, thoroughly indoctrinated with the "shin-bone" philosophy, to step into one of the Democratic ward meetings, held nightly, and see these "niggers," black as the ace of spades, taken cordially by the hand by Democratic politicians, and a motley audience of white and black Demo crats sitting lovingly together and listening patiently alike to white and black Demo cratic orators! Verily, the War has been a wonderful educator, and our Adams county Democracy had better see to it, for this kind of political heterodoxy will make short work of the dogma that "this is a white man's government." 90,705 59,886 80,819 The General Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church or the United States has been in session here during the past week, and has drawn together us delegates or vis itors most of the representative men of the church. Among those on the ground I no tice Drs. Schmncker, Brown, Hay, and Valentine, Professors Stosver and Baugher and Rev. Breidenbaugh, of Gettysburg; also Revs. Allemau and Lane of Littles town, Blackwelder of York Springs, Par ' sons of Hanover, and Johnston of Emmits burg. Dr. Pohlman, of Albany, N. Y., presides, and makes, what is rare among Ministers, a capital presiding officer. The business of Synod, although important, has special interest for the Lutheran Church.— On Saturday the Synod, numbering nearly 300 members and visitors, made an official visit to the President. They were received in the East Room, the President being dressed in a suit of black, with white vest, holding a silk hat in his kit hand while with his right he took each one by the hand as they were successively introduced by Rev. Dr. Butler. His whole appearance was that of a quiet, modest, refined gentle man, whose face is a problem to all familiar with his colossal reputation. I was sur prised to find him look so pale, with noth ing to indicate the daring and courage re quisite in the gigantic military movements through which Lis name has become im mortal. The exchange of camp life for the duties of the civilian, has transformed the soldier into the citizen, and as such he symbolizes the wonderful development of our Republican system. I find among the men of all parties with reference to Presi dent Grant, much of that same feeling which so strengthened President Lincoln— large confidence in the essential honesty of the man and his purpose in good faith to' administer the Government in the interest of the people and for the people. Leaving the White House, with several friends, I took advantage of the kind offer of Rev. Dr. Morris, of Baltimore, who is au fait in all manner of scientific things, to conduct us through the National Obser vatory. Reaching the building we were fortunate enough to meet with Prof. New comb, an intimate friend of Dr. Morris, who very courteously accompanied us through the Observatory, explaining the use of the various instruments, modes of taking observations, &c. From this ob servatory the correct time is signalled every day at noon, by the hoisting of a large ball to the-top of the pole, a touch of one of the keys in litu instrument at the same moment communicating it to the var lona stations in the city and as far South as Galveston, Texas. By-the-way, Prof. New comb, although he has acquired rare dis tinction in the astronomical woad, is a young man of probably 80 years of age, and ono of the most quiet, modest, unob trusive gentlemen imaginable—just such an address as best ennobles true merit. A. year or two ago, a problem was announced from the Royal Observatory of England to the scientific world, to be solved within a year, Involving a precise determination of the distance of the Sun from the earth.— Prof. Newcomb enjoys the enviable honor of having solved the problem, and that within a lbw months; and his calculations are now accepted by all astronomers as the most reliable yet obtained ! he making the distance some 270,000 miles less than form er theories made it.

I had the privilege of accompanying the party, and Lave just returned. The scene at the vault wherein repose the re mains of Washington, was deeply interest ing. The entire party assembled in front of the vault, and, with uncovered heads, united in singing the national hymn, "My country 'tis of thee," when Rev. -Dr. Zie gler offered a fervent prayer, followed by the singing of "Praise God from whom all blessings flow," and r< benediction by Rev. Dr. Pohlman. The excursionists then spent, an hour in looking at the grounds and man sion. The I,•otindsare in good order and command a fine view of the Potomac. The mansion also, in externals, is in good re pair. But as I crossed the threshhold and passed through the desolate halls and rooms, I felt sad that this consecrated spot should be so little cared for. The empty rooms, with here and there a relic of the illustrious man who long years ago wel comed to Its halls the noble and the good, —the old tinnily piano—the key of the Biotite presented to Washington by Lafay ette—with some trifling memorials are all that the visitor sees. Even the little low room on the second floor In which Washing ton died, and which ought at least to have been sacredly cared for, presented the same desolate appeamce, with rubbish scattered about in abundance. As I stood in the large Dining Rosin, now empty and desti tute of furniture, I could not help but think of the illustrious men of the Revolu tionary period, who hero gathered around the festive board. One end of the mansion is occupied by the Regent of the Ladies Mount Vernon Association, and all acces s to it denied to the vulgar crowd. In the upper chambers, I noticed indications of preparations to repair the walls and stair way. Ido not know whoSe fault it is that the. mansion is in this disordered condition, or what has become of the immense sumsof money contributed for the purchase and care of the property. Bat it is a burning shame that this hallowed mansion, almost within sight of the national capitol, should lie thus neglected. There is a great wrong somewhere, and I left the grounds with saddened feelings. • But it is time to close. The excursion ists returned to the city at a late hour, and partook of a collation that had been kindly prepared for them by the ladies of Dr. But ler's congregation. D. A. B. IPVESTERN MARYLAND RAILROAD Work on this road has been practically suspended for some time; bat active steps have been taken, looking to its completion. A Committee of the Councils of Baltimore have been recently over the line, and have reported an ordinance instructing the City Register and Commissioners of Finance to borrow, in the name of the city, one mil lion dollars until May, 1870, or such other time as they may deem expedient, and to pledge as security the requisite number of the shares of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road owned by the city. The money is to be invested in the bonds of the Western Maryland Railroad Company, and secured by a mortgage, which shall come next in priority to those already executed by the company, it to give a guarantee that the money shall be expended only in construct ing and equipping the road to Williamsport. At the next session of the General Assem bly the Mayor shall apply for the passage of an act to submit to the voters of Balti more the propriety of the endorsement of the bonds of the Western Maryland Rail road Company, to be secured by mortgage, to an amount sulliziient to return the luau. If the Legislature shall pass the act, and' a majority of the votes cast at the election shall be in favor of the endorsement of the bonds, the Register shall endome the bonds, dispose of them and apply the proceeds to the payment of the loan. If the Legisla ture shall refuse to pass the act, or if a majority of the votes cast at the election be in opposition to the endorsement, the Reg ister and Commissioners of Finance shall dispose of so much of the said capital stock as may be required to pay the loan. If the authority to endorse the bonds be obtained, and the proceeds of the sales of bonds al ready in the hands of the city shall not be sufficient to return the money to be bur rowed as before provided, with the interest thereon, the Company shall furnish to the Register such additional amount of the bands as will, when endorsed, pay the de ficieucy. The last section provides that the investment shall not be made until a major ' ity in value of the stockholders of the road shall accept the terms of the ordinance and pledge that at the next session of the Leg islature application shall be made for such modification of its charter as will give the ' city of Baltimore such an additional num ber of Directors as will give to it a majority of oue member in the Board of Directors. With this ordinance adopted, as it appears likely to be, the completion of the road would be beyond peradventure. The total receipts of the Company from the sale of bonds were $1,197,115.81 ; from Stock, $62.810.67—t0tal $1,259,926.45. Of this, $958,198.11 have been spent in con structing the road. The total liabilities of the Company are $2,632,527.42; total as sets *388,492.89; liabilities overassets $2,- 299,034.53. The unpaid amount due by subscribers for the extension of the road is expected to realize from $50,000 to $60,- 000, which will go towards building the road. TIM court-martial upon the charges made against General Dyer, Chief of Ordnance, by a joint committee of Congress, which has been sitting 112 Washington since November, has published its findings in the case.

Presiderit Grant has approved the findings of the Court. News from Georgia brings accounts of the murder of another man, Mr. Stone, one of the members who was expelled by the Georgia Legislature. This makes four with in the past six months, and it is a singular coincidence that all were Republicans.

EDITORS :—.I would not encumber your valuable columns in reply to your con respondent,t`lmprovement, if he had known any thing of what he delivered himself of in your last issue. The statement made is that he knows five or six of the same kind of Gravel Roofs put on in New Oxford.— He refers to Mr. J. S. Gitt, the well-known Engineer and a gentleman of veracity. I will give you Mr. Gitt's own statement, so that the parties whom it was the intention of "Improvement" to deceive may judge of his knowledge of Roofs or his veracity as a correspondent. Mr. J. S. Gitt states that the Gravel Roof put on for him was com mon Gas Tar and Gravel and without heat ing, whereas the Roofs put on the Lithia Hotel buildings by Mr. W. A. Ray are with cement manufactured of Gas Tar, Ros in, Arsenic, tuslacked Lime, Asphaltum and Linseed Oil, with which the Felt is thoroughly coded while hot and the gravel thoroughly dryed and heated, which forms a concrete impervious to heat or water. I leave to your readers to judge as to the truth of "Improvement's" statement that the Hotel Roof was like Mr. Gitt's. Mr. "Improvement," I regret the building committee did not anticipate the necessity of obliging you by the erection ofa Shower Bath to cool your fevered brain, should you become a guest of the Hotel. But as Willoughby's Ruu is near the Hotel you can be accommodated by the SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL RE PORT OF THE HANOVER BRA SCH RA ILROA D.—During last year, the earn ings, of the road were as follows: from freight Total receipts, $76 .659.

R. Co. During ita existence, the road, which ha-4 a capital of sllG.ti3o, earned 416.1.81.- 99. The earnings the last year, aro $4,273 in cess of the previous year. The balance on hand, April I, 18 , 39, was $16.024,33, which will be applied to the May dividend, and the payment of the subscription aforesaid. Wo annex the closing paragraphs: There were carried over the road during the year 24,588 through and 10,068 local passengers, against 4,115 through and 8.828 local of the previous year. The extensive Hotel accommodations which aro being provided for the reception of visitors to the Battle-field and Kataly sine Springs at Gettysburg, will doubtless increase the passenger travel during the Summer months. The increase in the transportation of iron ore has gone forward steadily until it has become the leading article of tonnage. With railroad facilities to the extensive Hematite Ore Banks in Bachman's Valley, a large acquisition to the tonnage over this road would be guaranteed. It would be sides develope an important Lime trade, and open up an extensive section or fine timber land. A "moderate subscription" to the Bachman's Valley road is recom mended. C ! C !

SCILENCK'S I'UL3IONIC Seaweed Tonlc and Mandrake Pills, will cure Con. ■umption, Liver C. mplalrot, and Dyspepsi if taken according to dimtions. They are nil three to be ta• ken at the same time, They cleanse the stomach, re lax the live:, and pot It to work; then the appetite becomes good; tbet..l digests and ntakeiimeil blool; the patient begins to grow In flesh ; the di, ased mat ter ripens in the lunge, and the patient the disease and gets wt.ll. This is tho only Way to cure C01111111:13 ptiod. To these three medicines Jr.f J. 11. Febenck, of PhiladelpiaL, nues his unrivalled somas in the treat ment of pulmonary consumption. The I l ultn , Tl it Byrn/ ripens the morbid matter In the lungs, nature throws it off by an e.t.ty expectoration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a slight ciuith will thr,w it off, and the patient has root and the lunge begin to heal. To do this, the Fesweed Tonic and Mandrake Pill:, moot be freely used to cleente the nomad, end liter, ao that the I'•,lm„uic :33 rup aol the fwd will make good blood. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, re moving all obstructions, relax the ducts of the bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver ho relieved: the stools will shoe, what the Pills can do; nothing has ever been invented except calomel (a deadly poison which is very dangerous to use unless with great rare), that will unlock the gall-bladder acid start the secretions of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills. Liter Complaint It an of thy must pr,Enin , nt canst, of Consumption. Schenck's i , eawee I Tonic is a tent le stiinni lilt :.id alterative, and the alkali in the Seaweesi, which this preparation is made of, assists the stomach to throw out the gastric juice to dienolve the food with the Pei:motile Syrup, and it in math , io to g,,j bloodwith. out fermentation nrin the slum kch. The great rranon why plfysicians do not cure con sumption Is, they try to do too much; they give me, dicine to stop the cough. to stop chills, to stop niche sweats,bectic fever, and Lp so deiuc they d.ji aeige the whole dige•tive powers, loc:iing up the • -creti and eventually the patient sinks and dies. Dr. Schenck, in his troatinent, does not try to stop a cough, night sweats. chills, or fever. Reruerve the cause, and they will all stt,p of their own accord.— No one can be cured of Conernmption, Liver ecnt plaint, Dyspep o vb,C.starrL, earth, r. Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and et,. 'ch. are made healthy. If a person ba.s courompti.pn, of COL.'S.° the longs in SOW, way are diseased, either tubercle', abscesses, ba,achial pleura iodheolon, or the longs are a mass of iLa]..,mmAjj.,o and rail decaying. Insept cases what must be done? It to not only the lungs that are wetting, hat it it the wtmle body. The stomach and liverhave lot their power to nitkro hdod out of food. Now the only channels to take Schenck's three medicines, which will bring up a tone to the stomach, the patient will begin to want food, it will digest easily and make good blood; then the patient hegius to gain in II eish. and as soon as the Ludy begins to grow, the lungs commence to heal up, and the 0- tieut gets aeshy and well. This Is the only way to mare Oonsomptlen, $A.237.19 When there% no lung diaease, and only Liver Com plaint and Dyspepsia, Sehenck's Seaweed Toulc and Mandrake Pills are autacient without the Pulmonic hyrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all bilious complaints, as they are perfectly harmless.
