Read your own Paper.
We should just as soon think of making
a practice of borrowing a man's tooth
brush as borrowing his paper. Every
man ought to have a newspaper of his
own if he would be considered " a man
among men:" The too prevalent practice
of borrowing newspapers has bebome
proper subject for condemnation, and to
it may be ascribed one of the reasons why
the newspapers in this county do not have
a more general circulation. A single copy
is often made. to do duty in half a dozen
families, and that, too, from one year's end
to another. This is all wrong. There
are many people in the world who make
a business to get the reading of their
county paper without any expense to
themselves. 'We know it is hard 'for a
person to refuse a neighbor or an acquain
tance the privilege of reading his news
paper, but some borrowers hate little del
icacy and sensitiveness, and a prompt, flat
refusal to encourage them in sponging on
others for news and interesting reading
would not hurt than much, and might
induce them to take and pay for a good
paper. It is unjust to the subscriber and
deprives the publisher of the reward he
is entitled to from all who derive pleas
ure and instruction from the paper it has
cost him so much money to issue.
There are others again who thought
lessly borrow their neighbor's paper, never
thinking of the. advantage it. would be to
the editor in enabling him to improve bis
journal, were they to become subscribers
'themselves. To this class more especially
is these remarks directed. The two dol
lars subscription asked for the WEEKLY
SPY is a mere song. There is scarcely a
man in the county who does not spend
ten times that amount in a year with no
marked advantage to himself or his family.
It is the aim of the SPY to improve both,
and it is the intention of the publisher to
make a paper that will be a welcome weekly
visitor to the family and fireside of every
farmer, merchant and business man in
Lancaster county, and a source. of real
enjoyment and improvement to their wives
and little ones. It is well known and no
torious that the children of those families
where newspapers freely circulate are
more intelligent, better acquainted with
the affairs of the world, and grow up to be
more useful men and women than those
who are deprived through the negligence
of their parents of this source of improve
ment. The Wzmitx SrY is sent to any
part of the county upon receipt of two
dollars, free of postage for one year. Send
for it; and test by experience the truthful
ness of what is here written.
The Result of the French ElectioU.
Our latest news from Paris confirms
what we have said before in regard to the
elections. Out of Paris, and in the de
partments generally, the government can
didates have been successful. Paris as a
whole has gone against the government.
It was not otherwise with Paris on the
occasion of the general elections in 1863.
Then as now the government was beaten
in every circumscription. The only dif
ference is that in the presnt instance the
opposition elements axe stronger. It is
the general opinion that the opposition
will be numerically stronger than it has
been since Napoleon mounted the French
throne. It is not long since the opposi
tion numbered but five members. Lost
year the number was twenty-five. Now it
is calculated that there will be' not fewer
than ninety or ninety-four sturdy opposi
tionists whom M. Rouher will have to
face. It is certain that when the next
session of the Chambers is opened Napo
' Leon Will be compelled to make up his mind
either to go forward and grant further
Parliamentary privileges, or to go back
ward, arresting the progress of the popu
lar power , by a fresh coup d'etat. This
formidable opposition must in some way
be quitted. How will Napoleon do it ?
Will he silence them by force or will he
humor them by granting further reform ?
asks the New . York herald.
County Superintendents.
The Germantown Telegraph is ably
dismissing the questions connected with
the office of County Superintendent of
Common Schools, and - "deprecates the at
tempt in some quarters of Pennsylvania to
get up an agitation in favor of the repeal
of -the statue creating th'e office. It ar
gues that-the officer, to be useful, should
be fitly .compensated for his labor, and
cites the case of Berks, with over 100,000
inhabitants paying a low salary, notwith
standing an immense territory has to be
constantly traveled at great expense, the
officer having to speak and teach in both
German and English. Lancaster is in the
same category, and paysbut $l7OO, Schuyl
kill leading in enterprise by paying 62000.
At the late Delaware county convention,
there was a strong
. feeling against reduc
tion, and.inany thought a well directed ef
fort to increase the compensation would
have been successful. While, we are ad
vocates of economy, we take it, that is a
poor display, of the principle which would
in any. may strike at the efficiency of our
common schools.
The Miners' Strike.
Private advices tell us that the Miners'
strike in Schuylkill county continues, and
it is feared that some of the extensive iron
furnaces in the Schuylkill Valley will be
compelled to " blow' out" for the want of
coal:' The miners have gone so faras "ti,
stop the smalleolfieriesin , the vicinity of
Pottsville, and" Abe" citizens - fear, that
while they have coal at their very doors,
they will be compelled to go to Other mar
kets for their fuel.
Tn Chester Cduntyltepublican Con
vention was held Tuesday. The delegates
to the
,iiiitate Convention were instructed
to . snfoport Governor Geary. •
Governor Geary.
From indications that are deemed cer
tain, the'renomination of Goverrior Geary
may be looked upon 'as a fixed fact. Un
der present circumstances it is hard to see
.how it can be avoided or why it should be
desired. He has made a prudent and a
careful magistrate, looking only to the
interests of the State, the welfare and
happiness of all the people. Who could
have done better? As it is an impossi
bility for an officer having extensive
patronage, to please every one, is not to
be denied, that some may have been die•
appointed and perhaps complain without
cause. We know, however, that some who
have been especially favored by more than
a full share of patronage, and who should
now be among his most ardent friends,are
and have been ungratefully for months
past treacherously laboring to destroy his
chances of re-election and nominate
another through purely selfish motives.
They have openly denounced him as unfit
for the office when, if they would look at
themselves truly and make an honest con
fession, they would find him much their
superior in poiht of honor, honesty, sobrie
ty,integrity, and more highly esteemed by
all who know him and them. But these
are only the corrupt politicians—the
honest portion of the party desire his
nomination and have so expressed them
selves at their primary elections—and
certainly the convention will confirm what
the people have willed.
:Editor.
Let us have Good Men for Onlee.
In a short time we shall be called upon
to select candidates for the different State
and County offices. It is hoped, that
every voter will determine to select only
such as are known and tried to be honest,
competent,sober and in. all respects reliable.
Lancaster county should have a represent
ative at Harrisburg equal in intellect and
character to that of the best. There
should be no doubt about it.' Our interests
and character demand this. Let us then
repudiate all efforts to foist upon us men
of uncertain character, who are tainted,
and are doubtfully sober and honest. As
the safest rule to be adopted then, we
would recommend that no one of the old
members, except Mr. Billingfelt, be propos
ed as a member for either houses' ' He is
acknowledged by all to be an honest man.
Every man who knows him thoroughly
represents him as such. He is compe
tent, and was an honor not only to Lan
caster county, but the State. We would
be glad to say, if we could with truth,
that the others were like him ; but we
will let them defend themselves, as they
know their defects as well as we do.
Senator Ross a Seipp' taut.
When Senator Ross had the " little on
pleasantness" with the President, just be
fore the extra session of the Senate closed,
he threatened that he would not visit the
White House again, adding that he had
no favors to ask. It-seems, however, that
he reconsidered his determination afterhe
got home to Kansas and found his constit=
uents clamoring for several little matters
to be fixed at Washington. Ou Tuesday
he made his appearance at the White
'House and intimated to Mr. Card Re
ceiver Dent that he would like to see the
President. Dent was unusually polite,
and ushered the Kansas Senator at once
into the Presidential presence. Ross show
ed a little trepidation. He didn't know
whether Grant had forgotten the last in
terview they had, so he felt his way cau
tiously. "Let us have peace" was plainly
visible in Grant's countenance, and Ross
felt encouraged, though he leoked peni
tent. The interview was a brief one and
purely official. Grant did not proffer his
visitor a cigar, and Ross abstained from
making any allusions to "Hell" 'or any
other place of uncomfortably hot character.
The Senator presented some little matters
that he wanted attended to. The Presi
dent promised to look into them, and Ross
said good flay and left.
SEVERAL of the Republican members
of the last Legislature luive commenced
suit against certain newspaper publishers
for libel. These cases, however, are con
fined to the Western section of the State.
Our Eastern members, we presume, are
thicker skinned than their brothers of
Pittsburg, and look over the little news
paper reflections upon their legislative ca
reer. Senator Russel Errett, of Alleghe
ny, has sued the Pittsburg Dispatch,
while Wm. R. Ford, of the same oity, and
a member of the Legislature of 1868,
commenced some time since, u similar suit
against the editor of the Leader. We
trust our editorial brethren there will be
able to stand up under this pressure of
virtuous indignation on.the part of these
two es-members of so honorable a body as
the Pennsylvania Legislature!
THE Fourth of July is note month dis
tant and it is time for our citizens to wake
up - if we intend to- properly celebrate - the
e nniversary of our independence. Would
it not be well for us to have a grand union
demonstration—forgetting all political dif
ferences and uniting in celebrating the
day? If some of our public spirited citi
zens would lead in this matter, we believe
the people would respond almost unani
mously in favor of this kind of a celebra
tion.
Tan Republicans seem to be confident
of carrying Virginia on the fah of July.
Governor Wells is making a splendid can,-*
vas as the Radical candidate for Governor,
and there is complete unity among his
supporters. The colored vote will go
almost, in a body Republican, notwith
standing the offers of the Democrats to
give them offices in exchange for their
votes.
Good News.
Allegheny county, we are informed, has
done herself great honor by repudiating
every one of her members of the last Le
gislature and settling an entirely new
ticket. Let Lancaster county do likewise
with the exception of Mr..tillingfelt who,
by his sterling integrity, has endeared
himself to every honest man, and whose
nomination is asked by every county in
the State.
LIE Republicans carried all the wards
in Washington, at the local election on
Monday, and their majority'is nearly 5000.
Among the successful candidates were a
colored city register, a colored alderman
and seven colored councilmen.
The Republican Party has one
More Chance.
We have been watching, says the State
Guard, the course of public sentiment on
the subject of rewarding the soldier, for
some time, and we are now convinced that
unless the Republican party adopts a new
rule and adheres to an old pledge, in this
connection there will be serious trouble at
the coming election. ' The principal source
of Republican strength has always been
in its soldier vote. The soldier gave the
party the respectability which won it the
confidence of the masses. While civilians
at home were robbing the public treasury,
and in all manner of ways disgracing the
Republican organization, its soldier ele
ment maintained its credit and won its
victories. For doing all this, the soldier
was promised rewards which we insist he
has not received. To be sure, men of
rank have been freely recognized. Gen
erals, Major Generals, Brigadier Generals,
Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels, Majors, Cap
tains and Lieutenants, have been singled
out for political reward, but the lower the
rank theless the reward, until it is seldom
if ever, that we see or hear of a private
soldier put forward on his merits for civil
honors. No one who had any knowledge
of the morale of the army, will deny that
the private soldier as a general thing has
quite as much intelligence and cultivation
as the officer who commanded him and
that he was and is equally fitted for his
country's highest honors. Indeed, there
never were armies organized with as much
intelligence and education among their
privates as were found in the armies of the
Union. They were composed of the very
best men in all communities—merchants;
mechanics -and labelers, who left respon
sible situations to shoulder muskets for
the national defence. We do not claim
that these men are office hunters, but it is
a fact which those who manage nomina
ting conventions dare not longer "ignore,
that this class of men will not be humbug
ged with the profession that the Republi
can party is the peculiar friend of the
soldier when only men of rank are select
ed by it for political honor, and the bullet
scarred private is set contemptuously aside.
The heaviest load which the Republican
party can carry aside from the corruptions
in which some of its leading adherents
have engaged, is composed of its unfulfill
ed pledges to the private soldier. We
have come to that condition now when
these pledges must be made good in sub
stantial acts, by the recognition of the
claims of private soldiers for the highest
honors in the gift of the Republican party.
As our county nominating conventions
meet, we hope special efforts will be made
to single out and recognize worthy and
qualified private soldiers for offices of
trust and honor. If this is fairly done,
we will strengthen and add popularity to
our cause ; if it is not done, it will not only
weaken local tickets, but it will seriously
embarrass those who will be placed on the
State ticket. There can be no ignoring
of the soldier element of the Republican
party, and the same time an indulgence of
the hope that we can succeed at the ballot
box. -
Economy in the Administration.
Grant's administration of the Govern
ment is everywhere winning commeuda
tion, and in no respect more than in the
exercise of rigid economy. He has con
solidated many of the offices iu the depart
ments, has suppressed Indian and army
corruptions, and with singular success is
collecting the revenues. The result is,
that during . the month of May alone the
public debt was decreased nearly fourteen
millions of dollars, and since the 4th of
March the reduction has been over twenty
millions. The policy of the Treasury is
in harmony with that of the President's.
During May, Secretary l3outwell sold
$5,000,000 in gold, and receiving therefor
$7,000,000 in currency, and bought $3,-
070,000 worth of bonds, at a premium of
of about $700,000 in currency: Grant
has an aptitude for pursuing given lines,
and his line of economy will bring glad
ness to our people and wealth to the na
tion.

We last winter had occasion to com
mend the course of this gentleman in the
State Senate. He then earned the confi
dence of the entire State by his bold and
earnest resistance to every scheme of cor
ruption, and though one of the youngest
members of the body, by his ability and
force of character commanded the respect
- of all. Lancaster county talks of sending
him back, and if she will accept the sug
gestions of all outsiders interested in hon
est legislation, her Republicans will re
nominate him unanimously. Neither the
Old Gaurd nor the Old Keystone can af
ford to dispense with the services of a man
who boldly fought corruption and extava
gance in any and every shape.—Delaware

Is the South much more reasonable
ideas seem to dwell in the minds of railroad
managers than we expect are harbored by
those of the extreme West. Twenty-seven
Southern railways have agreed that excur
sion tickets shall be issued to any one who
in good faith proposes to visit the South for
purposes of investment or settlement. For
actual settlers the price has been made still
lower. This means that the directors of
these roads desire their country to become
well settled and prosperous. The West
needs population and improvement as nt uch
as the South. Why do we not hear of sim
ilar Inducements on the part of the Pacific
Railroad ?
THERE are always plenty of claimants to
the origin of a successful enterprise. It is
uow a matter of wonder to read of the great
number of men who years ago conceiyod
the idea of a Pacific railroad. Wm.'Parker
dates his claim back to 1551, when he wrote
Thomas if: Benton, suggesting a railroad
from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific
Slope, with a stage line across the .moun
tains.

Five Men Take Arsenio by Mistake
--Four of them Dead and the
Other not Expected to Recover.
A shocking occurrence of involuntary sui
cide by wholesale happened yesterday at
the print works at Lodi, N. J., a little ham
let situated on the hanks of the Passaic
river, about two miles from Passaic village,
whereby four men came to their death and
a fifth was in a dying condition at five
o'clock last evening. , It seems these men,
who were Hollanders, employed in . the
Lodi Print Works, have been In the habit
of concocting a beverage composed of water
mixed with a small quantity of oil of vitriol,
to which was added a drop or so of alcohol
to give it a spiritous flavor. Just before
dinner yesterday five of the workmen de
cided to partake of the usual stimulant,and
entered the room where the chemicals are
kept for that purpose. It so happened that
the man in charge of the room, who usual
ly supplied the chief ingredients of the
hazardous decoction, was absent, and ac
cordingly the men essayed to help them
solves. Instead of taking the jar contain
ing the vitro], however, they took the one
next to it. which was filled with arsenical
acid, or the essence of arsenic in a very con
centrated form, and of whit•h they partook
in aboitt the wore proportion as they usual
ly did of the vitriol. The consequence was,
in a short time all were taken violently sick,
with terrible spasms and gripings, and two
of them, named. Jacob Breesche and Koh
bertz, died in less than an hour. The others
lingered until half-past three, when their
agonies were relieved by death ; and the
fifth, a young man, was apparently dying
last evening. All those that died were men
of family. •
The occurrence has cast a gloom over - the
whole community, and there was consider
able excitement even at Paterson, at which
place the report was received last night in
a terribly exaggerated form. The above are
the main facts of the case, which, it is to be
hoped, will prove a warning sufficient to
put an end to such a dangerous practice.—

A Thieving Somnambulist--He
Cribs His Own Linen.
A young gentleman named Meigs, who
resides in the lower part of Broad street,
has for some time past been at a loss to dis
cover how it was that every morning his
shirt alone of all his wardrobe was missing.
No other valuables prized by burglars were
taken, which /nude the mystery all the
greater.
After vainly endeavoring to solve it, he
arranged a plan with his friends to keep
guard over his linen one night. The night
came, and Meigs went to bed while- his
friends watched, club and pistol in hand.
Just about midnight, when the eyes of the
watchers wore exceedingly sleepy, they ob
served Meigs arise, divest himself .of
garments, and silently slip down stairs in
purls natnralibus.
Out ho went into the back garden, where
grew a large elm. Into a huge cavity in
the trunk of the tree Meigs stuffed his shirt
and walked back to his room. In the morn
ing he was escorted by his friends to the
tree, and out came no less than three dozen
nice white linen shirts. Some of them were,
however, almost rotten with mould.

North Carolina Lawlessness—Dar

Saturday night a band of armed negroes,
surrounded the house of Mr. Henry W.
Haswell, Mr.liaswell being a prisoner at the
time, in Jones county, about two miles from
Trenton, and fired it in several places.
The inmates, two women and five child
ren, were ordered under pain of death to
remain in the burning building, and the
house was repeatedly fired into to prevent
them attempting to escape. They managed
to slip unobserved out at a back door, elud

gained the woods near by in safety.
There they remained until day, when
they came through the woods to Trenton.
The fiends supposing the helpless inmates
secure in the house, set fire to' it, doubtless
with the intention of destroying therm

some mischance in his last attempt. His
remains were taken to Noblesville, Ind.,
for interment, and now lay in the old grave
yard in that place. •
Last Friday evening the hand belonging
to Forepaugh's Menagerie repaired to the

last Sabbath Rev. Mr. Bartlett preached at
the usual hour, 2 P. M., and after service
Mr Walker locked the house and was
about to leave wheu a very strange noise
was heard inside.
He proceeded to unlock the door when his
key became fast from some unknown cause
and could not be extricated, and for about
two hours several men tried but in vain to
obtain the key, and the 'effort was finally
abandoned. The noises continue at inter

A SURE REMEDY.
BIANHOOD
IN THE YOUNG AND RISING GENERATION,
the vegetative powers of life are strong, but in a few
years how often the pallid hue; and lack-lustre eye
and emaciated form, and the impossibility of appli
cation to mental effort, show its baneful influence.
It soon becomes evident to the observer that some
depressing influence is checking the developement
of the body. Consumption is talked of, and perhaps
the youth is removed from school and sent into the
country. This is ono of the worst movements. Re
moved from ordinary diversions of the ever-chang
ing scenes of the city, the powers of the body too
much enfeebled to give zest to healthful and rural
exercise, thoughts are turned inwards, upon them
selves.
- -
I f *impatient be a female, the approach of the men
sea isjookedifor with anxiety, as the first symptom in
which nature is to show her saving power in diffus
ing the circulation and visiting the check with the
bloom of health. Alas! increase of appetite has
grown by what it fed on; the energies of the system
are prostrated, and the whole economy is deranged.
The beautiful and wonderful period in which uody
and mind undergo so fascinating a change from child
to woman, is looked for in vain, the parent's heart
bleeds in anxiety, and fancies the grave but waiting
for its victim.
EELAIDOLD'S EXTINCT BUCHU, for Weal:no - is arising
from excess of early indiscretion, attended with the
following symptoms: Indisposition to Exertion,
Loss of Power, Loss of Memory, Difficulty of Breath
ing, General Weakness, _Horror of Disease, Wenlc
Nerves, Trembling, Drendfol Horror of Death. Night
Sweats. Cold 'eet, Wakefulness, Dimness of Vision,
Languor, Universal Lassitude of the Muscular Sys
tem. Often Enormous Appetite with Lys peptic,Symp
tome. Hot Ifands, Flushing of the body,Dryness of
the Skin, now' Countenance and Erup t ions on the
Face, Run in the thick, Heaviness of the Eyelids,
Frequent ly Nark Spots flying before the Eyes, with
Temporary Suffusion and Loss of Sight, Want of At
tention, Great Mobility, Restlessness, with Horror of
Society. Nothing is more desirable to stieh patients
than Solitude, and nothing they more dread, for Fear
of Themselves ; no Repose of manner, no Earnest
ness, no Speculation, but a hurried Transition from
one question to another.
These symptoms, if allowed to go on—which this
i
Medicine n varibly removes—soon follow Loss of
Power, Fatuity, and Epileptic Fits, in one of which
the patient may expire.
During the Superintendence of Dr. Wilson at the
Bloomingdale Asylum, this sad result occurred to
two patients; reason had for a time left them, and
both died of epilepsy. They were of both sexes, and
about twenty years of age.
Who can say that these excesses are not frequently
followed by those direful diseases Insanity nod Con
sumption? The records of the Insane Asylums, and
the melancholy deaths by Consumption, bear ample
witness to the truth of these assertions. In Lunatic
Asylums the most melancholy exhibition appears.
The countenance is actually sodden and quite des
titute—neither Mirth or Grief ever visits it. Should
a sound of the voice occur, it is rarely articulate.
"With woeful measures wan Despair
Low sulten sounds their grief beguiled."

eases and symptoms, we are prepared to otter an in

NATURE IS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN

strengthen the natural powers. This has been kept
in view by the skilful compounders of LIOSTETt

fresh vitality to all the organs of the body. The ef
fect of this medicine upon the stomach, the liver and
the kidneys, is prompt and decisive. The patient,

and its component parts are entirely vegetable. It

SPECIAL NOTICE.
SCHENCK'S PUIZIO:' , .;IC 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 and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow in flesh; the dis
eased matter ripens in 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 in the
treatment of
. pulmonary consumption. The Pul
monic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the lanes,
nature throws it off by no easy expectoration, for
when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a slight cough
will throw it Mt 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 food will make
good blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, re
moving all obstructions. relax the ducts of the gall
bladder, the bile starts freely, and 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 wire great care), that will unlock a gall-bladder
and start the secretions of the liver like Schenck's
Mandrake Pills.
i:I13
Liver Compfitint 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 prescript ion is made of, assists the stomach to
throw out the gastric juice, to dissolve the food with
the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made into good blood
without fermentation or souring In the stomach.
The great reason wily physicians do not curd con
sumption is. they try to do too much : they give
medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to stop
night sweats, hectic 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 Ins treatment, does not try to stop
a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. Remote the
cause, and they will all stop of their own accord. No
one can be cured of Consumption, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Canker, Ulcerated Throat, un
less the liver and stomach are made healthy.
If a person has consumption, of course tie lungs
are 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 tie
lungs that are wasting, but it is the whole body. The
stomach and liver have lost their power to make
blood out of food. Now th - C - 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 s ill digest easily and make good blood; then
the patient begins to gain in flesh, and as soon as
the body begins to grcor,t lie lungs commence to heal
up, and the patient gets fleshy and well. This is the
only - wily to cure consumption.
Althen there is no lung disease, and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia; Schenek's Seuwesil Tonic
and Mandrake Pills are suiliment without the Pul
mimic Syrup. Take the 311.111drilke Pills freely in all
bilious complaints, as they aro perfectly harmless.
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted health
for many years past, and now weighs 225 pouni's,
was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in the very last
stage of Pulmonary Consumption, his physicians
having pronounced his case hopeless and abandoned
him to his fate. Ile was cured by the aforesaid
medicines, and since his recovery many thousands
similarly afflicted have used Dr. Schenek's prepara
tions with the same remarkable success. Full di
rections accompanying each, make It not absolutely
necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck, unless the
patients wish their lungs examined, and for this
purpose he is professionally at his principal office,
Philadelphia, every Saturday , where all letters for
advice must be addressed. lie is also professionally

A GREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE
OF THROAT AND LUNG DISEASES
WISHART'S PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL.
It is the vital principle of the Pine Tree. obtained
by a peculiar process to 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 oigaus and restores
the appetite.
It, strengthens the debilitated system.
It purities and enriches the blood, and expels from
the system the corruption which scrofula breeds on
the lungs.
It. dt3solves the mucus or phlegm which stops the
air-passages of the lungs.
Its healing principle acts upon the Irritated sur
face of the lungs and throat, penetrating to each
diseased part, relieving pain and subduing inflam
mation.
It is the result of years of study and experiment,
and it is offered to the attlicted 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
menhs of cure:—

]at. It. cures, not by stopping cough, but by loosen
ing nod assisting nature to throw 011 the unhealthy ,
matter collected about the throat and bronchial
tubes, entWng irritation and cough.
2d. Most throat, and lung remedies are composed
of anodynes, which allays the cough for awhile, but
IT their constringing effects, the fibres become har
dened, and the unhealthy fields coagulate and are
retained In the system, causing disease beyond the
control of our most eminent physicians.
3d. The Pine Tree Tar Cordial, with its assistants,
are preferable, because they remove the cause of
irritation of tne mucous , membrane and bronchial
tubes, assist the lungs to act and throw off' the un
healthy secretions, and purify the blood, thus scien
tifically making the cure perfect.
Dr. Wishart has on file at his office hundreds and

THE FACTS

We began In DM to make Improve
ments in the style and make of
Ready-Made Clothing, and continued
to do se, introducing new styles nod
Ideas every year, so that the entire char
acter •f the business Is now vastly
better and totally different from the
systems of older houses.
Our first Idea is to learn exactly
WMAT THE CUSTOMERS WANT,
and Instead of persuading hint to buy
what may be most conveniently at
hand, we take the utmost pains to meet
wishes.
The building we occupy Is the MOST
CONVENIENT SIZE, LARGEST AND
BEsT ADAPTED for:our business of
any in Philade:pbia
Customers can see what they are
buying, our Establishment being on
the corner of three large streets, Mar
(ket, Sixth and Minor streets,) abun
dant light is afforded from all direc
tions. A light store is far better for
customers titan a dark one.
Merchants Anew that our sales ure
larger than those of any other house
in Philauelphin, in our line: hence we
have to buy larger quantities of goods,
and so get them at lower prices, es
pecially as we buy altogether for cask.
Buying cheapest, we can sell cheap

an assortment equal in variety and ex
tent to that embraced by a score of the
ordinary houses.
We have 600 hands employed in the
manufacture of Clothing, who are
constantly making up stock to take the
place of that daily sold; this gives our
customers nee and fresh goods to make
selections from.
It is an undisputed fact that this
Department, (a large - Hall on our
second Hoer fronting, on Minor street,)
has nothing in Philadelphia, to equal
it. We have here concentrated the
best skill and workmanship, and those
who prefer Clothing made to order
really have advantages they do not. re

ination until they were painfully afflicting-,
have been radically cured in such great num
bers in almost every section of the country
that the public scarcely need to be Informed of
its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destruc
tive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen
and unfelt tenant of the organism undermines
the constitution, and invites the attack of en
feebling or fatal diseases, without exciting a
suspicion of its presence. Again, it seems to
breed infection throughout the body, and then,
on some favorable .eiseallion, ntirlitily ?develop
into one or ; caves of its hideous forms, either on
the surface or among the vitals. In the latter,
tubercles may be suddenly deposited in the
lungs or heart, or tumors formed in the liver, or
it shows its presence by eruptions on the skin,
or foul ulcerations on some part of the body.
Hence the occasional use of a bottle of this Sar
saparilla is advisable. even when no active
symptoms of disease appear. Persons afflicted
with the following complaints generally hind
immediate relief, and, at length, cure, by the use
of this Sarsaparilla: St. Anthony's Fire, Rose
or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head,
Ringworm, Sore Eyes; Sore Ears, and other
eruptions or visible forms of Scrofulous dis
ease. Also In the more concealed forms, as Dys
pepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy,
Neuralgia, and the various Ulcerous affections
Of the muscular and nervous systems.
Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases
are cured by it, though a long time is required
for subduing these obstinate maladies by any
medicine. But long continued use of this medi
cine will cure the complaint. Leueorrhcea or
Whites, Uterine Ulcerations, and female Dis
eases, are commonly soon relieved and ultimate
ly cured by its purifying and invigorating effect.
Minute directions for each _ease are found in our
Almanac, supplied gratis. Rheumatism and
Gout, when caused by accumulations of extra
neous matters In the blood, yield quickly to it,
as also Liver Complaints, Torpidity. Congestion
or Inflammation of the Liver, and Jaundice,.
when arising, as they often do, from the rank
ling poisons in the blood. This Sarsaparilla is a
great restorer for the strength and vigor of the
system. Those who are languid and listless,
despondent, sleepless and troubled with ner
vous apprehensions or fears, or any of tlie affec
tions symptomatic of weakness, will and imme
diate relief and convincing evidence of its res
torative power upon trial. Prepared by
