Letter from Waslungton.
[Correspondence of The Press.]
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, 1362
Yesterday being rather a fair day overhead, at
least in comparison with what the last fourteen
days have been, we were seduced into the belief
that the roads were in such a condition as to admit
of us taking a horseback ride a short distance out
Twelfth street, beyond the Avenue, to the camp of
the McClellan Dragoons, body-guard of General
McClellan, commanded by Major Charles Barker,
whole-souled, jovial-hearted " Charley Barker."
We had not proceeded far, however, before we
were made aware of the fact that an " advance
movement" was about as easy an accomplishment,
en our part, as on that of the army now encamped
on the other side of the Potomac. Our horse sank
knee-deep at almost every step, while wagons, and
other descriptions of vehicles, passing along the road,
on their way to or from the Federal City, were li
terally floundering in a sea of mud. Horsemen,
who had come from a distance, wore bespattered with
mud from head to foot, and the looks of their jaded
horses gave one te• suppose that both they and their
riders were on full retreat from a pursuing foe.
The soldiers encamped on either side of the road—
infantry and cavalry—wore a woe-begone and dis
pirited look, and their abodes seemed better fitted
for the brute than human creation. Miniature lakes
and rivers intersected the camps at every few hun
dred yards, and the sentinels who paced up and
down the narrow boundaries of their prison houses
carried their arms in a loose and un§oldierly style.
To all looks and appearance, they were just as mis
erable as they could be had a famine overspread
the land, and the famine that now afflicts them is
that brought about by the absence of blue skies and
clear weather. There was a eavalrycompany—yet
unmounted—drilling on the right, but their evolu
tions denoted anything. but uniformity of action.
cry turn one fellow's foot would fly backward
to an astounding distance in the mud, while an
other's, taking the opposite course, would straddle a
space of ground. that for suppleness of limb would
put Francois Ravel to the blush. But enough of
this,
Reaching the camp named, we entered the quar
ters of the major, and seated at the side of a bright
fire we soon forget all the tribulations through
which we had just passed. They were many sub
jects talked upon, but the one that principally had
a charm for our ear was that related concerning
the visit which the Hutchinson family had made to
the camp the day previous. But let the major tell
it in his own way, and in his own rich, deep-toned
voice.
"You ought to have been out here yesterday,"
says the major.
l'Why so?'
" Oh, we had a grand old treat' The Hutchin
son family—John Hutchinson, you knew, with his
two sons and a daughter—came out during the
afternoon. just before we had service in the camp,
and Rev. Mr. Merwin came along with them. Af
ter Mr. Merwin had talked to 'the boys,' the
Hutchinson:, sang some of their good old home
songs. They put their melodeon, which they
brought along with them, just up in the corner
there, (pointing in the direction named,) and then
they all commenced. We had quite a party of
ladles and gentlemen here, and they took seats
around the room."
We interrupted by saying that "it would have
given irs much pleasure to have been present."
"I know it would." he replied. " Well, sir, you
ought to have seen those boys !' When they corn
=Deed the first time, I had them all drawn up in
front of the house here, in the form of a semi-cir
die, and they'stood at rest, with their hands crossed
in front of them. Well, as I was saving, the first
time. I think, they sung what is called What I
live for.' Do you know it ?"
"Oh. yes," we answered, "and the tune is as
glorious as the words;'' and we repeated one
verse :
"'Hive for those that love me,
For those who know me true;
For the heaven that shines above me,
Aud waits my spirit too.
For the eausA that lacks AggintATlCFl
For the living that needs resistance;
For the bright hopes in the distance,
And the good that I can do."
That's it! that's it!" eagerly answered the
Blajor, catching at the words as we repeated them.
"Thole ere the words, and the tune is just as
Sweet.' "Well, sir," (this is a great word with
our friend,) "you could have heard a pin drop
while they were singing; and I didn't see a man
whose hand stirred from the position in which he
held it during the whole time they were singing.
By and by, they gave us the song of "Kind
Friends I'm glad to meet you once again," and
then "Angel Names. " There the boys all stood,
fairly entranced as it were. By and by, I saw a
fellow's head go down, and then another; 'and then
came a drop or two of tear, and then their hands
went up to their eyes, and, brushing away the tear,
they carefully glanced around, so as to see whether
any one was looting at Otani
"Well, sir.' they weren't the only boys who cried.
No sir. You know Quartermaster , (men
tioning a familiar name to us,) is a gentleman
whose heart is as big as his body.
" Perfectly well." we answered.
"You ought to have seen him. He sprung a leak
the first go. I saw him, nervously twitching in his
seat there, and then biting his lips. But it wasn't
any use to him, for the big tears came rolling
down his fat face, until his red cheeks fairly
glistened with them."
" Well, to cut the matter short, we had a wet time
bore, I can tell you. Merwtu giTe the boys a good
old talking to, in his powerful way, and then I dis
missed them. If some of their hearts didn't get a
warming up yesterday, then I don't know any
thing about the power that song has over a man's
heart."
must confess that we felt that we had been
present on the occasion, as the Mayor recited to us
the above incidents. We knew the members of this
family in other days—then, when the favorites
John. Judson. Asa, and sister Abbie, were in their
palmy daysand the good old home songs that used
to touch our heart when a boy came back to us
with an irresistible power. The home associations
that were awakened in the minds of these soldiers—
brave as they all are—is the only apology for their
tears, if an apology could be needed. Con.
A Pennsylvania Mechanic's Reply to John
Letcher's Late Message.
[For The. Press
MEssits. Entrons. : Perhaps the late message
from Governor Leteber, of Virginia, is sufficiently
ludicrous to be undeserving of a notice, as the his
tory of past events is a sufficient refutation, but for
the sake of showing to the public that mudsills and
greasy mechanics appreciate the merits of the no.
torious John Letcher, and can distinguish between
truth and falsehood, between facts and fancies, be
tween the great principles of freedom and justice
embodied in that memorable Declaration of oar
National Independence, which the said John
',etcher has so wantonly and cruelly pressed into
his service, has so shockingly mangled and ,dis
figured as to be scarcely recognizable, were it not
for the fact that he says he has drawn a parallel
between Abraham Lincoln and George the Ind,
and has inserted nine of the sentences of the De
claration as applicable to the circumstances of the
Southern people. This Jefferson of the slave revo
lution says Lincoln has inaugurated this war, or,
to give his own words, "I now propose to show
that while President Lincoln professes to have inau
gurated this war for the preservation and perpetua
tion of the Constitution in its spirit and letter, he
has violated in the most direct manner many of its
most important provisions. But of this let the
public judge : if he has reference to the suspension
of the writ of habeas corpus, the Constitution does
not expressly say that the President shall or shall
not exercise that prerogative, but reads as follows :
" The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall
ItOt be suspended Unless in ease of rebellion or
invasion the public safety may demand
it Ah. John ' how readest thou? Remem
ber the Ipth of April ! But again he says, the
conduct of Lincoln has been as oppressive and ty
rannical toward the Confederate States as the acts
of the King of Great Britain were towards the
Colonies. Who committed acts of outrage? who
selied forts, arsenals, docks and navy yards? who
robbed the treasury? who threatened the capital ?
who surrounded and captured the little band of
patriots in Fort Sumpter before cruel and oppres
sive Lincoln even moved to meet those who now com
plain of his tyrannical resistance? Methinks John
Letcher had better read the history of events before
ho again insults the public arida his sophistical do
clomation. But, to cap the climax ; this same John
Letcher has the brazen effrontery to assert that
President Lincoln plundered the treasury. Did
ever impudence exceed this? Did ever falsehood
thus soothe the pangs of a guilty conscience, or
come to the relief of desperation? But to continue :
L' He has cOlall/ined with Fitgpant and other traitors
in - Virginia . ' to subjeet us to a jurisdiction foreign
to our Constitution and unacknowledged by our laws,
giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation.
Does this paragon of perfidiousness and treason
affect to place the laws of Virginia above the acts of
Congress, and hold the Constitution of the Old Do
minion more sacred than that of the United States.
and yet charge President Lincoln with a want of
respect for that sacred instrument ?. Verily we
have fallen upon evil times ; but of their combina
tion what is it ? The Constitution declares us fol
lows:
Section 10. No State shall enter into any treaty,
alliance, or confederation ; grant letters of marque
and reprisal, coin money, emit bills of credit ;
make anything but gold and silver coin a legal ten
der in payment of debts, pass any bill of attainder,
ea post facto law, or law impairing the obligation
of contracts, or grant any title of nobility. No
State shall, without the consent of Congress, lay
any duty of tonnage, keep troops on ships of war in
time of peace. enter into any agreement or compact
with another State or with a foreign power, or en
gage in war ; unless actually invaded or in such im
minent danger as will not admit of delay.
Surely somebody has violated the Constitution in
some of its most important provisions; but Letcher
has placed the burden upon innocent shoulders.
In my next I will give a Declaration of Inde
rensience for John Letcher and his cabal.
FREEDONIA.
Tur arrival of Hon. John Covode, of Penn
sylvania, and Hon. M. F. Odell, of New York, from
Washington, on Monday, has created a good deal
of surmise as to their mission here. After visiting
the quartermaster's department and the arsenal, in
this city, Mr. Odell went to New York, but Mr. C -
Tea remains prosecuting his investigations. These
gentlemen are a portion of the joint Committee of the
two Houses on the War, and were deputed to come
over here and examine the condition of the quar
termaster's department in this city, with a special
view to ascertain the amount of goods on hand, and !
not the quality of the goods delivered. That is a
matter for the inspectors themselves. i
THE CITY.
ADDITIONAL CITY NEWS ON SECOND PAGE
THE DEFENCES OF THE CITY—TILE HOME
aumcn.—The operations of the Committee of De
fence, during the past year, will, in rill probability,
be communicated to Councils by Mayor floury to
day, in connection with his message.
The matter of the Delaware defences is now be
fore the Military Committee of the House, who
have appointed a sub-committee of the delegation
from Pennsylvania. The latter committee are to
consider the whole subject of the lake and sea-coast
defences, and obtain all the necessary data, plans,
etc. They have been in consultation with the bu
reaus at Washington, anti will probably report the
result of their deliberations at an early date. (The
word " probably," in the last sentence, is to be
understood as implying necessity, as the subject. is
one of infinite importance, and cannot safely be de
layed.)
Tho various companies composing the Home
Guard still continue their drills at their several ar
mories. The weather has rendered all public displays
of their proficiency impossible, except ata disadvant
age. A number of the organizations continue to re
ceive accessions to their ranks, and the interest first
n inn ir o de t i in th e movement is as full of animus as
Over.
About two thousand of the guards have gone into
active service, in various grades from colonels down
to lieutenants. In this view the department is a
valuable preparatory school of instruction, almost
equal to a state military academy.
We regret that our Home Guards are armed in a
highly incongruous style. Some time since, it will
be recollected, General Pleasonton made applica
tion to the Secretary of War for the loan of 5,000
muskets. The application was granted, and the re
quired number of weapons were placed at the dis
posal of the department, being forwarded to the
Frankford Arsenal. But ;3,SQO of the arms were
used, On the oth of October, the chief of the Bu
reau of Ordnance informed General Pleasonton
that the arms were required by the Government,
and they were accordingly returned to the ar
senal.
It hence became necessary to purchase other
arms. After strenuous efforts to that end, extend
ing to Canada, and to some of the European States,
a motley collection of weaponsiwas secured, em
bracing muskets rifled and muskets smooth-bored,
sabre bayonets and bayonets plain. The effect of
this condition of armament will not present itself in
a serious light unless the men should be called into
active service, when confusion in the preparation of
the ammunition must inevitably result.
The reconnoissance of the southeastern section of
the State by Colonel Eakeu, Strickland Kneass,
and others, some months since, which extended
westward to the Susquehanna, is likely to prove of
value, and certainly to prove interesting. The
topographical maps are now being prepared in the
office of the City Surveyor and will be published
as soon as possible.
NAVAL MATTER - S.—The Miami sailed from
the navy yard between ten and eleven o'clock yes
terday morning. Previous to her departure a va
luable library was presented to her crew by the
Episcopal Board of Publication, Mr. William M.
Welles, sailing master, acquitting himself creditably
as spokesman on the OCIMSIOII.
The Rhode island will sail on Monday next, it is
believed.
THE UNITED STATES SLOOP-OP-WAR TITS(7ARORA
As the United States sloop-of-war Tuscarora is
in a fair way to earn distinction, (having, at last
accounts, the rebel steamer israskrille under her
espionage, at Southampton, with an evident inten
tion,) we have taken the trouble of preparing the
following sketch of her :
During the extra session of Congress, it will be
recollected that that body authorized the Navy
Department to have seven sloops-of-war construct.
ed as speedily as possible, in view of the unsettled
condition of national affairs at that moment.
The construction of two of the gunboats was
awarded to Philadelphia, and the first of these—
the Tuscarora—was commenced on the 27th of
June, 1861. In about five months thereafter she
was entirely finished, with the exception of her
armament, which she proceeded to New York to
complete. For so large and powerful a vessel, this
rapidity of execution was believed to be without
precedent.
The Teeseurora it almost identical with the
lryolurng, built here in 1859, and by the same
constructors. The hull is in length ongun
deck
209 feet 9 inches, extreme beam 33 feet, depth of
hold 15 feet 10 inches, displacement 1,475 tons at
load draft of 13 feet, tonnage 997. She is bark
rigged, spreads 9,800 square feet of canvas, is armed
Ivith eleven-inch pivot guns, rifled, and a battery
of 32-pounders. Her machinery is s 'c . if 1,000 horse
power, by Merrick .k Sons, of this city, consisting
of two horizontal direct-acting engines ; cylinders
fifty inches diameter, thirty inches stroke; four
bladed propeller, twelve feet nine inches diameter,
of brass. Three boilers, having in all fifty feet of
frontage, fourteen fuLnaces, and eight thousand
square feet of ImatingTurface. The engines have
surface condensers, returning fresh water to the
boilers. The whole machinery is of the most sub
stantial character, and highly finished. The Tus
carora was the first of her class at sea, being at
least six weeks in advance of any of the four or
dered at the same time in Kittery, Boston, and
New York.
THE NEW SIDE-WIIEEL STEAMEII.—The ar
mament of the new side-wheel steamer Miami
consists of eleven.inch shell gun, pivot; one eighty.
pounder Dahlgren rifle gun - , pivot, and a broadside
battery of four twenty-four-pound howitzers ; she
draws but six feet of water. Her officers are as
follows :
Lieutenant commanding, A. D. Harrell.
Acting lieutenant—Hobert Townsend.
Assistant surgeon—David Kindleberger.
Acting assistant paymaster-William H. Sills.
Acting masters—William N. Welles, William M.
Mason, and Milford Rogers.
Acting masters' mates—John Quilled°, William
H. Harrison, John Lear, and Robert . Roundtree.
Third assistant engineers-• Guy Sampson, Henry
D. Heiser.
Captain's clerk—William M. Fay.
She was got ready for sea on Tuesday, in great
hurry, in consequence of orders received from Sec.
Welles to that effect. It was expected that she
would sail yesterday.
EllinSenn OL MATTERS.—The special com
mittee, consisting of Messrs. Fletcher, Holland,
Reed, Stull, and Rittenhouse, appointed by the
Board of School Controllers to investigate certain :
charges made against Professor Maguire, the prin
cipal, by Professors Vogdes and Girard, resigned,
hold their sessions at the High School building,
Bread and Green streets. The committee meet in•
the afternoons, after school hours, and are still en
gaged in this arduous and disagreeable duty. All
the professors of the school, and numerous others,
are to be examined. During the examination Pro
fessors Maguire, Vogdes, and Girard are present,
and the proceedings thus far have been kept strictly
private. All the evidence elicited will be pub
lished in pamphlet form, and will be quite a, lengthy
document. The report will tend to show the con
dition of the High School when Professor Maguire
was placed at its head, and the state of affairs at
the present time, and will probably be presented
to the Board at their next stated meeting, and
action will bo taken on it immediately. We are
unable to say whether the report will sustain the
charges made or not.
rag examination of candidates for admission into
the High School will commence on Monday. The
admission and rejection of applicants will take place
on the 11th inst. About 120 pupils will be admitted.
The examination - of the pupils of the institution is
over, and a new term, the forty-eighth, has already
been commenced. The commencement exercises
will take place 014 the Nth inst,, when the degree
of bachelor of arts will be conferred on twenty
four young gentlemen. The valedictory address
will be delivered by Lewis A. Kershaw ; salutatory
• address by Joseph C. Murphy ; and historical and
scientific addresses by George N. Watson and Al
bert F. Haehstadter. Of the partial courses there
will be about the usual number of gr,aduates. The
address in the evening, before the Alumni Associa
tion, will be delivered by Stephen Benton, Esq. 4
The examination of applicants to fill the vacant
professorships has been completed, but the candi
dates have not yet been apprised of their averages.
The Board of Examiners will report to the Board
of Controllers, who will, of course, elect the per
sons who have attained the highest averages and
passed the most critical examination.
The examination of applicants for admission into
the Girls' High or Norman School will also com
mence on Monday next. The examination of the
pupils of the school has been concluded, - and the
commencement exercises will take place to-morrow
morning. The number of graduates is thirty-nine,
which is the highest number yet reached—at the
last term there being thirty-one.
THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.—The num
ber of freight trains passing through the city has
been sensibly diminished since. the opening of the
branch road which connects the main line of the
Perinbylvaisia Railroad with the Delaware termi
nus, at the foot of Washington street. The depot,
at the foot of Washington street, has not yet been
completed, and a considerable portionof the freight
carried to the Delaware front of the city will con
tinue to pass over the Market, Third, and Dock
streets Railroad until the new terminus is in com
plete working order. This will be accomplished
within a few weeks, and the central part of the
city will be freed from the annoyances inseparable
from the passage of heavy freight cars through it.
In a very short time all the freight intended for
foreign pelts will pass over the Washington-street
route to the Delaware. The city freight trade will
continue to go as usual to Juniper and Market
streets, while freights trains will run to the Ames
of forwarding merchants and heavy provision deal
ers on Market street, west of Eighth.
In addition to the regular and nature increase
of trade on the road, the obstruction of the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad by the rebels has thrown
upon our Central road most of the trade, which for
merly went to Baltimore. There are heavy accu
mulations of freight, principally coal oit ; lying at
Wheeling awaiting transportation on the Pennsyl
vania Railroad. The completion of the Sunbury
and Erie Railroad will bring a still further increase
to the trade of the road and the Delaware terminus,
and the line leading to it has not been completed a
day too soon for the interests of the company, the
City, and the State.
TILE ANNtAL APPROPRIATIONS.—III con
sequence of 'the delay in the organization of the
new City Councils, caused by the contested seats,
none of the annual appropriation bills have been
passed, and the result.is that the school teachers,
police officers, and other egiployees of the city will
ho unable to receive any pay for at /945% a month
yet. A small appropriation has been made for the
removal of ashes, and this is about the only work
now being done by the city. The snow and ice
have not been removed from the pavements in front
of the city property for the past three or four
storms, and the streets and gutters generally are in
a very filthy condition.
THE FIRE IN PRUNE STREET, above Fourth,
yesterday morning, was not extensive in its char
acter, having broken out in the boarding-house of
Mrs. Burns. A barrel of kindling wood in the
cellar took fire by some means, as yet unknown.
The burning material was located immediately un
der the gas meter, and the heat melted off' some of
the screws. An explosion ensued, and all the com
bustibles in the cellar were at once set in a blaze.
A dense smoke was created, and the State House
bell was rung . but the flames were extinguished
by the Good Intent Hose Company, after having
burned a large hole through the first floor.
GOLD FR OM NOVA SCOTIA--The first sample
of gold from the new diggings in Nova Scotia has
been received and assayed at the Mint. Its ap
pearance in the natural state is that of small flat
tened grains, similar to the California gold. There
was a loss of about eight per cent. in melting. The
fineness proved to be 898 thousandths, making the
value about $17.10 to the ounce of native grains, or
$18.56 in the bar : after melting.

ANOTHER RECENT CURE OF
CONSUMPTION AND BLEEDING or TILE
LUNGS BY SUIIENCR.'S ruLmoNic SYRUP.
PHILADELPHIA, I'A., January 2,1862.
P. J. H. Sc HaNeti—Dear Sir: As you have cured my
wife of a well-marked consumption, when she was, as it
were, in the very jaws of death, justice to yourself. ass
well as duty to my fellow main, impels mo to address you
this letter, and detail the condition of my wife and
very remarkable effects of your medicines in her case.
More than three years ago, she was taken with a copious
bleeding from the lungs, attended with a very bad
cough, loss of appetite, pain between her shoulders,
headache, cold feet and a gradual decline of her physical
powers.
I called in our family physician, who is regarded+as one
of the faded practitioners in this city. He continued to
attend ht r for a long Vino, and during that time she had
several attacks of hem-Outgo from the lunge, which
Ina Ic her very weak and brought her nigh the grave. It
was when I felt that her chances for life were very bad,
that Mrs. "Edward French, of Moorestown, Now Jersey,
who had been mired of Consumption and Bleeding from
the Lungs, and who knew Or. Schenck when ho had
Consumption and came near dYingi and knew he was
cured with his celebrated medicines, sent word to her by
all means to apply to Dr. Schenck, as he would be sure
to cure her. At this time my wife was very bad. She
was much reduced in flesh and strength, had no appetite,
a very bad cough, which was so distressing as nearly to
deprive her of sleep. She had a pain and distress in her,
lungs, and it was evident to us all that she was far gone
with consumption; in tile afternoons she would have
fever and creeping chills, mid at night free-sweats
After Dr. Schenck lout given her an examination with
his Respirometer, he pointed out to my wife the part of
her lungs that was badly diseased. She had little con
fidence at this tune in any remedies, as she hail used
nearly everything in medicine without the least benefit,
while her disease was progressing to the destruction of
the vitals, and would doubtless soon terminate in deaftr.
She commenced using the Pulmonic Syrup, Mandrake
Tills and Bea Weed Tonic, nod continued to use them
about a month, seeing Dr. Schenck ones a week, when
she experienced a marked improvement. There was tills
difference in the efforts of these medicinesfrun all others.
Instead of drying up the secretions and matter, as the
other medicines had done, they seemed to ripen the mat•
ter and expel it in the form of expectoration, which was
very copious, at the seine time the secretions were re
stored to their natural and healthy condition, and the
bleed began again to circulate naturally.
The medicines were continued a long Um. as the die.
case was well seated, and obstinately resisted the action
of the medicines. At length the matter began to ripen,
and the cough became loose, and a free discharge of mat
ter occurred right from the spot
where my wife felt that
her lunge were diseased. Her appetite and digestion im
proved, and else enjoyed what site had long been a strang
er to, sweet and refreshing sleep. The medicines con
tinued to act upon her blood and purified it, and after
fear or five mouths she had regained her strength, and
felt that her system was purified from all disease. She
is now well and hearty and able to attend to the duties
of her family, and cannot speak in terms of too great
praise of the virtues of your medicines. She is desirous
everybody shall know what they have done for her, and
will be glad to direct any one to the remedies that will
cure that fell destroyer of the human race, Consumption.
I reside at 'llol' Cherry etreet r arid Mrs. Lansing or myself
will be very happy to have any one call on us, at our re•
sidence, and hear for themselves of the great virtues of
your very valuable medicines.
lours, truly, G. W. LANNING.

ADECIDED CASE OF CONSUMP
TION CURED BY SCRENCII'S PULHONIC
SYRUP.
As it is doubted by many that Consumption is ever
cured, in order to remove such doubts, the reader will
listen to the following plain statement of facts: In the
fall of 1860 I contracted a heavy cold, which produced a
dry, hacking cough, attended With headache, loss of ap
petite, constipation, and an increasing debility. I placed
myself under the care of an eminent physician of this
city, and remained under his care several months, and
followed the directions strictly, but kept getting weaker
and worse all the time. I lost in three or four months
twenty-eight pounds of flesh. I was exceedingly 'eoble,
bad a very bad cough ani pain in my chest, hectic fever,
and copious night-sweats. About this time I was taken
with an excessive bleeding from the lungs, and raised
nearly a quart of blood. In this alarming condition I
felt I must die soon if I was not speedily helped, and
many of my friends thought there was not much hope for
Me. I procured some of Dr. SCHENCK'S PIILMONIC
SYRUP, which seemed to agree with me. I then sent
for Dr. Schenck, wan came over to my residence; in
Mantua, and examined my lunge carefully with his Re
spirometer, and found my right lung verrinuch diseased,
and my other lung in an ulcerated condition. He pre
scribed, in addition to his Syrup, the free use of his
MANDRAKE PILLS AHD SEAWEED TON/C. I de
termined to give his medicines a fair trial, as I felt that if
ho could not cure me, no one else could. It was not long
before I felt hie medicines were doing me good. I found my
appetite and strength improving, and, best of all, the
Pulmonic Syrup seemed to ripen the matter in my lungs,
and, for days, I would sometimes bring up a quart of
matter and corruption. I continued using the medicines
for tl reo or four months, until all the matter was ex
pelled from my lungs, and they were entirely healed and
sound. I regained my flesh and strength, and am well
and hearty to-day, and able to attend to my business as
usual. I have recommended Dr. Schenck's medicines to
many of my friends who were complaining, always with
benefit. I am satisfied I had the Consumption, and was
entirely cured by Dr. Schenck; and I am fully per
suaded that, if the consumptive would persevere in the
use of his medicines, and follow strictly the directions,•
the majority of them would be cured.
I am doing business at the If. W. corner of Seventh
and Cherry streets, and will be very happy to give any
information I can to all who will call on me.
JOSEPH B. HAINES.
Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 27th, 1861.
Dr. SCHENCK will be at his office, No. 39 N. SIXTH
Street, every Saturday, to give advice and examine lungs
with his Nespirometer. His usual charge for an exami
nation is three dollars, but on Saturday, Februb.r 7 Ist, he
will examine everybody that may come free of charge.
