Soluntiria . ~. A. M. ItAIIBO, Columbia, Pa. Saturday, May 15, 1869. CeamtnecaeloTis, letters, contributions, generally of merit and interest to the reader, will be acceptable from friends from all quarters. County Committee Meeting. Our Ring-masters of the County Com mittee were sorely foiled and disappointed 'on Monday last. Mr. Brubaker and his crew of corrtiptionists bad fondly hoped they could set aside the Crawford County system and steal from the people the right to select the delegates to the State Convention, as they attempted to do last year. The wily George and the Wiley faction were, however, taught that the people can and will take care of those matters themselves, and no matter , how many substitutes they may foist into the County Committee, their dishonest tactics 'will not prevail. The immaculate EXTI2, in cr, owned and edited by old mortality, the "great ili,appointed," very cunningly suggested that the County .Committee should disregard the voice of the people and select the delegates to the State Con vention, and nominate a candidate for Governor without giving the people a chance to give expression of a choice. As the Examiner has united with Brubaker and sold out body. and breeches, they thought the trick they played three years ago would succeed this. It will be re collected that in 1866 Mr. Day Wood was elected a member of Assembly, but died before the Legislature met. Another election was ordered by the Speaker of the House. Instead of calling a conven tion and having new delegates elected to nominate a successor, the County Com mittee, that always assumes dictatorial powers, called the delegates of the old de funct convention together, notwithstand ing a very strong remonstrance in writing against it. Delegates who had no more right to •assemble and select a candidate than the man in the moon did, however, meet anti nominate. A motion was made to adjourn and carried—but before the delegates had all withdrawn, the ingeni ous Mr. Heistand, our pattern moralist, moved that himself and several others, whom he named, should be delegates to the State Convention that was soon to meet and be instructed to vote for John W. Geary. As none but the faithful were honest the motion was carried, and of course Lancaster county was made to go for General Geary without being consulted. Now, as it does not suit our wily leaders to•support Gov. Geary for re-nomination, but perhaps somebody else who will pay better, they thought they could play the same game this year by getting the County Committee to name the delegates, and of course we should have had some of the same honest crew to sell Lancaster county over, again to theJlighasiper..,But, ‘ the people were wide aigar for them, and when the vote was taken, like all dishonest men they were afraid to carry out' the measure and sneakingly submit ted to-what they could not help. So now the people gill elect the delegates as they ought to do—and we have only to caution all against the stuffing of the ballot boxes, intentional miscounts and other frauds. Watchers should be appointed, to watch not only the voters, but the officers of the .election, and prevent any man from put ting more than one vote into the box. We know enough to say that the boxes have been stuffed—and -we can prove it. Ballot box stuffers had better look out— they are known and will be exposed. The 'United States Marshal. The President, on Friday of labt week, appointed Gen. E. M. Gregory, of Phila delphia, U. S. Marshal for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, vice John Ely, deceased. " Jolly Jack" Ileistand will, as here tofore, be happy to see his friends at the " granite," on North Queen street, Lan caster, and not in the marble, building over the post office in Philadelphia. The following in reference to the in cumbent and the appointment is from the • Philadelphia Bul/etiu, and may prove in teresting : ' The sudden death of General Ely, U. S. Marshal for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, created a vacancy which has been promptly filled by the President, who, on Friday appointed General E. M. Gregory to the position. This appoint ment will give universal satisfaction among those who know anything of General Gregory's military record and personal character. General Gregory entered the service itt,October,lB6l, as Colonel of the 91st Rgeiment P. V., and served with distinction during the war. He was bre -Vetted Brigadier-General •in - -September, 1864, and was assigned to the command of the 2d Brigade, Ist Division, sth Corps. At the end of the war, General Gregory was transferred to the feedmen's Bureau, and' was one of General Howard's most efficient agents in administering the diffi cult duties of that department in Mary land._ Since the termination of his depart ment of the Freedmen's Bureau, he has resided in Philadelphia, and has won a :high reputation as a citizen of pure-char acter and high principles, and a fine speci men of-the honest, upright Christian sol- . - .flier and gentleman. . General-G-regory had but one legitimate competitor for the United States Marshal ship, for we hold it as scarcely legitimate to urge for Philadelphia offices, candidates from the-interior of the State. Goner] E. G. Sickels, - who was presented to the Pres ' ident for this position, would have been equally acceptable to .the community, in all respects.. But between two gallant and loyal soliers . there is never any but a and .generous rivalry, and while we , should bave considered the appointment of General Sickels in every way a credita ; ble 'and auitable_one ' wo congratulate the community that President Grant .has chosen , to-succeed' General Ely, a gentle - 'man so well fitted for the position as Gen eral ,Grgory . _ deciiion his been made bY 'thciDe - puty'CommisSioner of Internal Silevenite; -undei -the -Act" of.-April 10, 1869: Peelers it! liquor, who sell in quan tides yss than'fivegallons, and also in quan tities of five iallons, and upward,' must pay ,bOth as -wholesale and retail - ,7ignor dealers. ME Philadelphia Post says, there - is room enough in our Western prairies to bury all the armies of Europe. p!M TAE Alexandria Museum has received that famous hatchet with which G. Wash iugten hacked his father's cherry tree, preparatory to the announcement that he could not "tell a lie." Editor The Republicans of Philadelphia have elected delegates for the Harrisburg Gu beruatorial and Judicial Convention; next June. The Philadelphia delegation is almost a unit for Geary for Governor. THE opening of the Pacific railroad sug gests the grandest results for the• future. Near two-thirds of all the land in the United States is beyond the Mississippi River, and the completion of this road will bring into settlement and under cul tivation hundreds of millions of acres. The Philadelphia Ledger says as to the union between En.land, France. and Spain against the United States, should not cause a ripple of apprehension here. Its existence or its absence should not, and we believe would not, change the straight course which our Goveruinent should pur sue in either of the matters upon which the alleged alliance purports to be based. Not even France, England and Spain com bined can afford 'to Tovoke a wanton war with the United States, for they all have more to lose in such a contest than we have. The alleged reasons or pretexts fur thii alliance are said to be the rejection of the " Alabama Claims " treaty, the tone of Mr. Sumner's speech upon.the treaty, the supposed filibustering tendencies, of Gen eral Grant's Administration, and the re port of connivance of the United States in the sailing of expeditions in aid of the Cuban insurrection. Sonic of those excellent gentlemen of our county, who cannot afford to keep a consicnce and despise those who do, have introduced into our primary elections the sublime art of stuffing the ballot box which, uo doubt, will be practiced at our election for delegates on Saturday the 29th of May, inst. The operation, we learn from the experience of an expert, is very simple, requiring only a bold face and the connivance of the officers of the election who, as they are not tinder oath, think it no sin nor derogatory to their character to wink at such rascality when a favorite candidate is to be benefited. It is hardly supposable that any one asking for the suffrage of an honest constituency would be guilty of so dishonest an act, but we arc assured, by unmistakable testimony, that one of our politicians now a candi date for a prominent office has openly ac knowledged that he and others as unscru pulous as himself did severally put votes into a bailor box at an election, which had no right there. This fact is known to several gentlemen of standing in the county, and should be known to all. Let any one deny this if he dare. 7 Editing: n Priper Under Ditlicultr,es. -J. Clarke Swayze editor of the Ameri can Union, published aE Macon,. Georgia, appears to have a bad road to travel amongst the rebels in that benighted country. He has been twice arrested and sent to prison; is scoffed at and spurned by rebels; but he cares not. 11.1 r. S. holds a steady pen, and continues to pour hot shot into the ranks of the enemy, which dis orders and puts them in great confusion. Even his children are attacked in the streets and pelted with stones. He gives notice this week as follows : "My little son is frequently sent on errands upon the streets. and on three occasions recent ly, has been pelted with stones by a crowd of half grown boys, because, as they tell him, he is a Radical, or the son of one, and be Is man enough not to deny IL I have sought them twice, but felled to come up with them, and as tLe police of the city aro either too much en gaged In polities, or too partizan to protect a child of mine, I hereby give notice that I WILL PROTECT him. These pupils of treason shall not impose upon my family while I am alive and outside of rebel Jails. J. CLARKE SWAYZE. The good, tried and true Union men of Georgia should stand by Mr. Swayze and give biro aid, encouragement, council and support. They should not let him be crushed to death by a set of unprincipled scoundrels because he dares to support the laws of the land and the flag of his Country. All the - varied accounts which have been given by Washington correspondents of the interview which General Lee had ith General Grant, representing that conversations took place between them on the subject of politics or affairs in Vir ginia, or the matter of submitting the constitution to vote in that State, the Bal timore 81121 says it has direct and un doubted authority for stating arc entirely incorrect. The visit of General Lee to the President was purely of a personal character, to pay his respects to him as a gentleman and official, which be had reason beforehand to believe would prove entirely agreeable to General Grant, and which belief was fully sustained by the courtesies of the occasion. Besides Mr. Tagart and lady, of Baltimore, who ac companied Gen. Lee, there was present during the interview Mr. Motley, the -newly appointed Minister to England, he *having been found with General Grant when the visitors entered. The inter view with the President lasted about fifteen minutes, and neither General Lee nor the President exchanged any words whatever on political matters. Hence of course, no opinions or views of General Lee iu regard to reconstruction or the Fifteenth 'Amendment were elici ted, as has been represented in some quarters. The Union - Pacific Railroad Fin- The last rail in the connecting link of our trans-continental highway was laid on Monday. The Central and the Union Paci fic: form by Government direction "one con tinuous road," from Omaha to Sacramento. With marvelous and magic-like rapidity have the two powerful companies brought section after section of their roads to com pletion, until to-day they reach the goal for which both 'have so vigorously con tended. 'Within the brief period of throe years and a fraction the Union Pacific Railroad Com pany have crossed the prairies of Nebraska, scaled the Rocky MOuritairis; pushed over the mountain plateau, passed the rugged range of the Wasatch, pierced and tunneled the cliffs they could not climb, wormed For Geary. The Speck or War. Stufllnw, the Ballot Box. General Lee and Grant. IZI=I2I their way through and across the most terri fic Canyon, passed northward of the Great Salt Lake, until they have met the Central Pacific at their coming, nearly eleven hun dred miles west of their initial point at Omaha. Such achievements in so short a time may jUstly excite the wonder and the ad miration of the world. But the building of so long a stretch of railroad through a coun try abounding in the most formidable ob stacles is not the only point that challenges attention. The Company's field of opera tion was an isolated desert. Rich it may be in alluvial soil, rich in the elements of min eral wealth which NatUre had locked up in her "mountain chests," it is for the purpose of such a work practically a desert. It was totally devoid of settlement, and destitute of all requisites for supporting population. But more than this, the Company's army of road-builders was always operating at an average distance of two thousand miles from their base of supplies. MI the requi site materials for the work, save timber, were procured in the Atlantic States, trans ported by any and every available means to Omaha, and thence over the road as it progressed to the point of employment. A hundred and ten thousand tons of iron -rails, a million fish plates, two million bolts, and fifteen million spikes, are among the items thus brought from the East and consumed upon the road. The great engines that move the Company's works at Omaha, to gether with the varied and vast amounts of machinery, implements and tools used in stocking and fitting up their manufactories,. were also brought from the East, and wagoned over the country a hundred and fifty miles to Omaha. Some three and a half million cross-ties, and timber in unnumbered millions of feet, have been consumed in the construction of the road, its culverts and bridges. Much of this material was found at Chicago, and its transportation therefore waS comparatively inexpensive, after railroad communication with that city was established. All the ma terials, except brick, required for building Foundries, Machine Shops, Construction Shops of all grades, Station Houses, Round Houses, Store Houses, Telegraph line and Offices, SVator Stations, Supply Stations, and the thousand minor things that enter into the outfit of so great a work, being likewise obtained at a distance add largely to the cumulative account of transportation. Subsistence and Stores for an army of five to twenty thousand skilled and unskilled workmen, and forage for six to eight thou sand teams of mules and horses, are items quite too large to be loft out of account. A large amount of the rolling stock on the road, including locomotives, was at first, and is yet procured at the East, because the Company's works have not the capacity to build as fast as it is required. The enormous outlay required to move forward such a mighty accumulation of matter, and to get it into position on time, shows, besides the difficulty of its accom plishment, the disadvantage the Company would be at in comparing, the cost of their road, mile for mile, with the principal rail roads of the East. Everybody knows that it costs twice as much now to build a house or other structure, as it did ten years ago. Labor, lumber, and other materials, are double the price they then were. As a cor rollary of this proposition, it costs twice as much now as it did then to huild a railroad, Now the cost of building the following great Eastern Roads is historical and prob ably indisputable, viz.; the New York Cen tral, the Erie, Pittsburg & Fort 'Wayne, Pennsylvania Central, and the Baltimore & Ohio. It averaged $06,000 per mile ten years ago. To-day the average would be $132,000 per mile. But they are partially double track roads. Deduct 3,1 k per cent. for second track, and there is left $86,000 as their equitable average cost per mile for their entire length. ,Add to this sum a moderate allowance, say twenty per Cent., for extra transportation aadless to 4 the Company by rapid buildl4, and the equitable cost of the Union Pacific Railroad, including its stook and all appurtenances whatever, is thus demon strated to bo $105,600 per mile ; and of the whole Hue, eleven hundred miles, $llO,- 160,000. Now, what are the Company's Resources? They consist of Capital Stock, Bonds loan ed by the Government, Lands granted by the Government, which are now represent ed by "Laud Grant Bonds," and the Com pany's First Mortgage Bonds. What are these Assets worth? It is as sumed the following figures are nearly cor rect: Capital Stock Q 94,500,000 Government Loan 0 9 150,000 First Mortgage Bonds "0,2-15,000 Laud Grant Bonds (convertible for im mediate location and sale of lands), 10,0130,000 Total Q,805,000 This amount, which is a saving upon the foregoing estimate of $16,205,000,1s stated by the Company to be sufficient to bring the road up to the highest standard of comple tion, and to build the Denver branch. These estimates are made for the benefit of the people who desire a correct view of this much-mixed-up case, and in the inter est of the First Mortgage Bondholders, who have been frightened and damaged by: the attacks made upon the Company, and the mendacious statements that have accom panied them. Comparing the Mortgage Bonds of the Union Pacific with those of the Central Pa cific, it will be seen that as the amount of Government Bonds received by the former Company was some $lO,OOO less per mile, so their First Mortgage Bonds were issued in a like smaller amount,—slo,ooo less on each and every mile of road. This difference of *20,000 per mile against the Central makes the annual interest liabilities considerably in favor of the Union Pacific Company. But us the bonds of both Companies are alike six per cent. gold bearing bonds, (principal and interest, both payable in gold), alike in each having thirty years to run before maturity; alike in being first liens upon the property of the respective Companies, and alike in the protection which is thrown around them by the Gov ornment,—as both roads are sure to be re munerative and reasonably profitable, Auld both Companies will be able to meet at any time their maturing obligation ;—if there be any difference in their values for invest ment, the facts point to the Union Pacific's as being the better bond. But candid men may find in the foregoing exhibit the data upon which to form an intelligent opinion for themselves while despising the flagi tious and far reaching plot to damage the Company Iu all its relations, they rejoice over the completion of this, the greatest, the crowning work of American Enterprise. FROM a table recently prepared in the In ternal Revenue department, it appears that the receipts from the tax. on distilled spirits, under the present rate of 50 cents per gal lon, are double that realized under the old tax of $2. It is shown that the receipts for the first month under the new law were about the same as under the old, but the re turns for each succeeding month, to the present time, show that the revenue thus derived is double that of the corresponding month under the $2 law. From the reports of Assessors which have thus fur been re ceived at the_Departruent, it appears that the supervisor law has proved of great value to the revenue of the country, not only in un earthing frauds of- various kinds in com mercial transactions, but in compelling persons to make income returns. All the Assessors say more income returns have been made in their distripts this year than ever before, and the 'result is attributed to the direct efforts of the supervisors. 'Gxonon Frce.wers Tnankr and Daniel Pratt spoke at the same' meeting at Hart ford, on 'the 26th ult. As they are both standing candidates for the PreskiencY, it 'would be a good idea for them to stump the country in company. The addition of J. N. would add strength to the combina tion.

Ho „iS a man of considerable property and, we : lae-: lleve unmarried. He will never go near a lady if he can possibly help it. It is said that it is frequently the ease tha the will post pone a visit to New York for a day because a lady . happens to be in the stage in which he must ride to the train. At one time ho sent word to the driver of the stage to - stop for him on the following clay, as he intend ed to go to New York. When the stage came clown the next. day, the driver stopped as requested, and asked if he was going to Now York. The gentleman at first said he would, then said he wouldn't, then conclu ded he would, then gave it up again, and finally asked if there would be any ladies on the trip. The driver told him probably not, so he embarked. A short distance on the route a lady got on board ; a little fur ther another came on. Another followed; and finally there wore seven ladies in the stage and only one man—Old Eccentricity himcelf. He was caught that time and never recovered from it. He hires a room at a hotel in New York by the year, as be is there a good part of the time. He never uses the wash-bowl and pitcher furnished by the hotel, but has some of his own which be keeps locked in his trunk. Hilo knows it ho will not allow the room to be occupied by any one save himself. One morning he walked into the office, held out a long hair to the clork,saying, " found that in my room," walked off. His acquaintances know but little of him socially, and he is in every respect a strange being. A. Lady Lawyer. At a recent meeting of the Cecil county, Md., School Board a scene occurred which shows the growing influence of women in public matters. The Commissioner front the Second District stated that one of the assistant teachers from his district, a Miss McKinsey, had been absent from her school for three weeks, but claimed pay for the full term. Miss Martha Biddle Principal of the school, backed Miss McKinsey's claim, and had counsel to plead her case before the Board. She claimed that during her assis tant's absence to attend to her mother during her illness, she, the Principal had, by extra labor, performed her duttes, so that the school bad lost nothing. The Board heard the case and confirmed the District Com missioner's decision that the young lady's salary should not be paid for the time she was absent. Subsequently Miss Biddle de manded a hearing, took the floor in behalf of her assistant, and by her vigorous pre sentation of her client's case, in the course of which she made some severe thrusts at the District Commissioner, she procured a reservation of the decision and the allow ance of full pay for her assistant.

The Schenectady Union publishes the fo'l lowing from a New 'York correspondent: Mr. May, a retired merchant, related td mo an anecdote which may not bouninteresting to your readers. A wealthy widow died recently, and divided, before her death, all her estate between her two children, a son and daughter. The son removed her furni ture and papers from her homestead on Broadway, and looking them over one day, found a memorandum stating that in the corner of the cellar were buried two crocks of money. He procured a laborer and dug in the place indicated, and found the two vessels, one filled with gold coin, the other with greenbacks, the whole amounting to $300,000. Mr. May knew the parties, 'and assures me that the above is true in every particular. Had the property been sold, it would have been a nice question of law as to whom the treasure would have belonged; the original owner, the purchaser or the finder. StxaiNG is a great "institution."

Mr. Bright made a -speech in favor of the bill, saying that there was no.reason why a man should be prevented marrying a woman willing to marry him, except natural kin ship of blood, and on this ground tkero was no more objection to the marriage of first cousins than with a deceased wife's sister. As proofs of the legitimacy of these marria ges, he urged that the persons who contract ed them excited no feellings of condemna tion among their friends and neighbors. Grace Greenwood "Grace Greenwood," having been mated by newspaper gossip with a certain "Dr. Lippincott," writes a spicy note to the Washington Star, telling who are not her husbands. She thinks she has some reason to complain of editors for assigning to her "so many amiable consorts." The same disclaimer which she says puts forth for the benefit of "Dr. Lippincott," sho declares must also apply to Mr. T. B. Lippincott, the great publisher, and to General Lippincott, the door-keeper of the Senate. "They are 'all honorable men.' doubt less," she remarks, in conclusion, "but they are not my husbands; and I hereby warn all persons against trusting me on their ac count." About Beggars. The fact that there are no Hebrew, as there are no Quaker beggars, is owing to the peculiar and systematic arrangements made by these sects for taking care of their poor.

A Lengthy Game of Euchre. Twenty-one years ago last Thursday, says the Cincinnati Times of the 29th, as a party of gentlemen were enjoying them selves at an interesting contest at euchre, one of them was suddenly called home to be introduced to a young son. On last Thursday, that son celebrated the event of his arriving at maturity, by inviting the same party of players to his residence, where the game was allowed to he finished without further interruption. THE wife of a well-to-do planter at Flat Rock, Tenn., ran away with a lover a few months ago, and went to Kentucky. The forsaken husband procured a divorce.

A GREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF THROAT AND LUNG DIS2ASES P -d) I It is the vital principle of the Pine Tree, obtained by a peculiar process in the distillation of the tar, by which its highest medical properties are retained. It is the only safeguard and reliable remedy which has ever been prepared from the juice of the Pine Tree. - - It invigorates the digestive organs and restores the appetite. It strengthens the debilitated system. It purifies and enriches the blood, and expels from the system the corruption which scrofula breeds on the lungs. It dissolves the mucus or phlegm which stops the air-passages of the lungs. Its healing principle nets 4011 the irritated sur face of the lungs and throaty penetrating to each diseased part, relieving pain pod subduing inflam mation. It is the result of years of study and experiment, and it is offered to the afflicted with the positive as surance of its power to cure the following diseases, if the patient has not too long delayed a resort to the mealis of cure:— Consumption of the Lungs, Cough, Sore Throat and Breast. thonehitis, Liver Complaint, Blind and Bleeding Piles, Asthma, N% heaping Cough, Dipthe ria.

SCHENCK'S PULAIONIC SYRUP Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, will cure Con sumption, Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, if taken 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 raid makes good blood ; the patient begins to grow in tech; the dis eased matter ripens m the lungs, and the patient outgrows the disease and gets well. This is the only way to cure consumption. To these three medicines Dr. J. IL Schenck ' of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success its the treatment of pulmonary eonsmnption. The Pal monie Svrup ripens the morbid matter in the lutists, nature throws it off by an easy expectoration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a slight cough will throw it oil; and the patient has rest and the lungs begin to heal. To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the fund will make good blood. Schencies Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, re moving all obstructions. relax the duets or the gall bladder, the bile starts lively, anti the liver is soon relieved: the stools will show what the Pills can do ; nothing has ever been invented except calomel (a deadly poison which is very dangerous to use ex cept with great care), that will naiad: is gall-bladder and start the secretions of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills. Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent causes of Consumption. Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and alterative, and the alkali in the Seaweed, which this prescription is made of, assists the stomach to throw out the gastric juice, to dissolve t he food with the Pulmonie :syrup, and it is made into good blood without fermentation or souring in the stomach. The great reason why physicians do not care con sumption is. they try to do too much they give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to stop night swents.bectic fever, and by so doing they de range the whole digestive powers, locking up the se cretions, and eventually the patient sinks and dies. Dr. Schenck, in his treatment, does not try to stop cough, night sweats, chills or fever. _Remove the cause, and they will all stop of their own accord. No one can be cm ed of Consumption, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Canker, Ulcerated Throat, un less the liver and stomach are made healthy. If a person nas consumption, of comae the lungs ate in some way diseased,either tubercles, abscesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or the lungs are a mass of inflammation and fast decaying. In such cases what must be done? It is not only the lungs that are wasting, but it is the whole body. Tim stomach and liver have lost their power to make blood out of food. Now the only chance is 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 begins to gain In flesh, and as Soon as the body begins to grow, the lungs commence to heal up, and the patient gets fleshy and well. This is the only way to cure consumption. • When there is no lung disease, and only Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills aro sufficient without the Pul monie Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all bilious complaints, as they are perfectly harmless. Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted health for many years past, and now weighs M. podnds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, In the serrlast stage of Pulmonary Consumption, his physicians having pronounced his case hopeless and abandoned him to his tate. He was cured by the aforesaid medicines, and since his recovery many thousands similarly alllicted have used Dr. Schenck's prepara tions with the same• remarkable success.
