Almost a Double Tragedy.
The Davenport, lowa, " Democrat" telle
the • following story: Hans 71s good at
"pitch," but rot a success* i► provider.
won'fmake: any money himself, and
spends what Gretchen makes. She inter
viewed a-druggist. Ile promised arsenic,
smelt a rat, put Hans on his guard, and
gave Gretchen starch instead, of poison.
Hans threw up his hand,and went borne. It
was somewhat late and be could risk it for
an hour or two by the side of the would-be
' -
murderess.
Next day, everything moved. on Just tho
same. Hans did't eat' a very, hearty break
fast, and went up town t..) buy his proven
der. At dinner time he . caniehotnehungry,
and pitched into the victualskrith unspeak
able avidity. Hls jaws soon lighted on the
treacherous starch. He gave a yell and
'doubled himself up like a wounded boa
constrictor. He fell on the floor and had
spasms. In short, he took on scollepa high.
His wife sat by, enjoying the•spectacle_ and
tenderly inquiring, " swat ir: der matter mit
Hans ?"
When he bad becothe insensible, elm' wen t
up stairs, three at a time, and let down a
good size rope through an auger hole, into
the room where Hans lay. Then she came
down and fastened the rope around his
neck, propped him up in sitting position,
and again went up stairs. But Hans bad
an inkling of her fell intent, and coming to
himself, with remarkable presence of mind
be quickly undid the noose fron his neck
and slipped it around the leg of the dinner
table, then be calmly sat down In u chair
and awaited developments.
The way that table lit across tbeifinor the
next minute watt a caution.' It wiiiyanked
all out of ghape,. and every cilith on it
smashed into a thousand';pieces, and then
the piece of furniture drawn tight lii:ligain4
the ceiling. Soon after wa - s Beard tote voice
of his beloi-ed wife from the upper einintber .
window, calling out in accents of grief that
her dear lord had committed suicide, and
the neighbors commenced to run towards
the house.
Coming down stairs she met tho irate
Hans, who advanced threateningly,•brand
ishing a formidaplo switch, with which he
procceded.to belabor her most unmercifully.
Gretchen could not seo "how it come to
was " that Hans could swallow poison with
impunity, and gives it up as a bad job.
Hans enjoys his customary evening game,
and has his opinion of a man who can't gov
ern his household.

HERITABLE INVALIDS
Indigestion not only effects the physiaa
health, but the dispositions and tempers otits ,
victims. The dyspeptic becomes, too, In a
measure demoralized by his sufferings. He is
subject to fits of irritation, sullenness, or des
pair, as the case may be• A. preternatural sen
sitiveness which he cannot control, leads him
to misconstrue the words and acts of those
around him, and his intercourse even with
those nearest and dearest to him is not =fre
quently marked by exhibitions of testiness for
eign to his real nature. These are the mental
phenomena of the disease, for which the inva
lid cannot be justly held responsible, but they
occasion mach househeld discomfort. It is to
the interest of the home circle; It is essential to
family harmony as well as to the rescue of the
principal sufferer from a state not far removed
from incipient insanity, that these symptoms
of mental disturbance be promptly removed.
This can only be done by removing their physi
cal cause, a derangement of the functions of the
stomach and Its allied viscera, the liver and the
ocnvels.
Upon these three important organs Itostet
ter's Stomach Bitters act simultaneously; TT
a thorough and salutary change In their -
condition. The vegetable ingredients of which
the preparation is composed are of a renovatlng
regulating and alterative character and the stim
ulant which lends activity to their rema'ial
virtues is the purest and best that can be ex
tracted from the most wholesome of all cereals,
viz: sound rye. No dyspeptic can take this ge
nial restorative for a single week without a no
table improvement in his general health. Not
only will his bodily sufferings abate from clay to
day, but his mind will recover rapid] , from its
restlessness end irritability, and this happy
change will manifest itself in his demeanor to
all around him.

good deal since I have been in Kansas, and never
without taking It with me. In my practice I used it

CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
What the Doctors Say:
AMOS WOOLLEY. M. D., of Koschtska Coun
ty, Indiana, says: "for three years past I have
used ALLEN'S Luce 13A.LSAY. extensively in
my practice, and I am satisiled there is NO bet
ter medicine for lung diseases in use."
ISAAC A. DORA'S, Id. D., of Logan County,
Ohio, says : "ALLEN'S LUNG BaLsam not only
sells rapidly but gives perfect satisfaction in
every case within my knowledge. Having con
ildence in it and knowing that it possesses val
uable medicinal properties, I freely use it in my
daily practice, and with unbounded success.
As an expectorant it is most certainly far ahead
of any preparation t have ever yet known."
NATHANIEL HARRIS, M. D., of Middle
bury, Vermont, says: 'I have no doubt it will
soon become a classical remedial agent for the
cure of all diseases of the Throat, Bronchial
Tubes, and the Lungs.
Physicians do not recommend a medicine
which bas no merits, what they say about
ALLEN'S LUNG BALSAM,
Can be taken as a fact.

SPECIAL NOTICE.
SCIIENCR"S PULdIONIC SYRUP
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake PiIIS, will Cure Con
sumption, Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, if taken
according to directions. They aro all three to be
token 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. ff. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pul
monte Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the lanes,
nature throws it off by tin easy expectoration, for
when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a slight cough
will throw it off, and the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills
most 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 over been Invented except calomel (a
deadly . poison which is very dangerous to use ex
cept wait great care), that will unlock a gall-bladder
and start the secretions of the liver like Schenck's
Mandrake
' Liver - Complaint is one orthe most - prominent
causes of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the alkali In the Seaweed, which
this preseeption is made of, assists the stomach to
throw out the gastric Juice, to al ics,n ve the food with
the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made into good blood
- without fermonuition or souring In the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure 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 his treatment, does not try to stop
1 a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. Remove 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 nas consumption, of courso the lungs
are in some way diseasecbelther tubercles, abscesses,
bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or the lungs
are a mass of Inflammation and fast decaying. In
such cases what must be donel It is not only the
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 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 digesteasily 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 and only Liver
Complaint and .Dyspepsia,Sahenek's Seavvesd Tonic
and Mandrake Pills are stiflictent without the Pul
monic Syrup. Tako the ldandrakePills freely in all
bilious complaints, as they are perfectly harmless.
Dr. Schenck:, who has enjoyed uninterrupted health
for many years past, and row neighs 225 pounds,
,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. He was cured by the aforesaid
medicines, and since his recovery many thousands
similarly aillicted have used Dr. Schenok's prepare
tions with this 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 Wilco,
Philadelphia, every Saturday, where all Letters for
advice must 100 addressed. Be is also professionally
