HISTORY OF THE
GREAT REBELLION !
THE late rebellion stands out peculiar and
extraordinary in human events; and the
magnificent scale upon which the war has
oeen conducted,constitute it one of the grand
est and most brilliant chapters of the world's
histoy Ir.
Mr. Headley, of all writers, is perhaps best
qualified to portray the the stupendous feat
ures of the mighty contest. His previous
works on less momentous themes have placed
him in the first position, as a graphic and pow
erfai deleniatar of war scenes and characters,
and the magnitude and grandeur of the pres
ent subject, impart to his pen the fire and vi
gor of a yet more exacted inspiration, and fur
nish ample scope for the highest exhibition of
his peculiar genius for military description.
Under his powerful pen the stirring scenes of
the War pass in review with the vividniss and
distinctness of a present and living reality;
while his great talent for condensation ena
bles him to embody everything of importance
in a compass just suited to the public want.
From no other source can so clear and com
prehensive an impression of the grand march
of events be obtained, so easily and agreeably
as from Mr. Headley's work.
Other histories have been issued before
Grant's Report and other official documents
were submitted to the government, and there
fore unreliable. Mr. Headley has delayed the
completion of this till those documents so es
sential to euthenticity and correctness could
be obtained.
The second volume, completing this work,
will be issued it March, 1t366. Agents wan

A new artiale in this market, and far supetior
to any other in use. A few reasons why :
First.—They are free from twine, which is
affected by the lime, and liable to rot, caus
ing the falling out of the bristles.
Second.—The bristles are inserted in the
wood, or body of the brush, when green, which
when dry, causes them to be held firmly in
their place ; any subsequent soaking or shrink
age fails to affect them.
Third.—They are made of Bristles exclusive
ly ; many _kinds being composed, in part, of
whalthope.
Fourih.—They contain more bristles for the
size, and are as cheap as the ordinary, kind.

C ONSUMPTIVES,
READ WHAT DR. SCHEIYCK IS DOING
I=l
DR. I. H. SCHENCK
DEAR Sin :—I feel it a duty I owe to you,
and to all who are suffering under the diseases
known as Consumption and Liver Complaint,
to let them know.wbat great benefits I have
received from your Pulmonic Syrup and Sea
weed Tonic in so short a time. By the bless
ing of God it has cured me thus far.
Dr. Schenck, I will now make my state
ment to you, as follows :—About eighteen
months ago I was attacked with a severe
cough, and it settled on my lungs ; I could
not retain anything I ate, and suffered with
eveninglevers and night sweats. I was very
much reduced. The whites of my eyes were
very yellow ; likewise my skin ; my appetite
all gone, and unable to digest what I did eat;
bowels swollen, irregular and costive. I was
very low spirited, and had such violent spells
of coughing when I lay down at night and
I
when arose•in the morning that they would
last one or two hours.
I then would be nearly exhausted, and was
entirely unable to lie on my left side. I can
not describe my wretched suffering as I would
wish to do. Every organ in my body was dis
eased or deranged. Such was my situation at
t.his time, and I was confined to my bed from
the last of February, 1862, -to June 1862, not
able to sit up. I had the best of medical at
tendance the whole of the time. My cough
was so very bad that it racked me very much.
I at this time raised a large quantity of thick,
Yellow, offensive matter, sometimes with blood
and it was generally accompanied by nausea,
and a furred and thick coated tongue. At the
time of coughing so badly I would have sharp,
shooting pains in my left side and heart,
night sweats,-and soreness all through my
whole chest; had much inward fever, pain in
my back and under my shoulder blades and in
the small of my back, and at times so severe
that it would throw me into spasms. Now
my physician gave me up to die. Others I had,
and the best of them, but they could do noth
ing for me, and at that time I was nothing
but skin and bone. I.then was in the western
part of Missouri. In June - last we left there
for the East, and in August last we. came to
New York, and I was so reduce t that I could
only walk a little with my husband's help.
Alter I had been here a short time the salt wa
ter breeze made me feel much better for a
time and then I had again to call a physician
for aid. We had four of the best physicians
of New York on the diseases of the lungs, and
doctors of all kinds, but of no avail. They
said I was past cure, and that my lungs were
too far gone for any one to cure me. But at
this time I was on my feet about the house,
not able to do much of anything. In Novem
ber last I grew worst, and the consumption
diarrhea set in and lasted about eight weeks.
We had tried all and everything. that' I could
grasp at like a dying person for my disease—
consumption and liver complaint—but of no
avail.
In January, 1863, I was brought down
again on my bed, and was not expected to
live the night out. My husband stayed at my
side, and other friends, and they all gave me
up to die. At this time every one who saw
me did not think I would ever leave my bed
a living woman. The first night I was at
tacked with spasms, and was deranged most
of the time. A friend, Mrs. Harris, came to
see me the last of the week, and brought the
Sunday Mercury. In it was an account of a
great cure performed by Dr. Schenck. She
read it to me, and it was so much like my
disease that I asked my husband to go and
see him for me. At this time I had given up
all hopes of ever getting well again, and made
my peace with God, to be ready whenever he
called for me.
On the 27th of January, 1863, my husband
called on Dr. Schenck, 32 Bond street, New
York, and stated to him my case, with -a re—
quest for him to call and see me, which he
did, and examined me with the respirometer.
When he was about to go I asked him if he
could cure me 3 His reply was : "I cannot
tell, both lungs are diseased, and the bronchi
al tubes are affected on both sides." And yet
he seemed to think there were lungs enough
left to effect a cure if the diarrhea could be
stopped. He said in order to do this, he would
have to gore me Mandrake Pills in small
doses at first, to carry off the morbid matter,
and then, with astringents, he hoped to check
it, which he did, but the constant coughing,
night sweats, and diarrhea had prostrated me
so that he was afraid my vital powers were
too much prostrated ever to rally, and yet he
seemed to think if I could live to get enough
Pulmonic Syrup through my system to cause
expectoration there were lungs enough left
for me to recover. He wished me to try the
Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic at once,
saying it would do me no harm, if it did me
no good. The first week it seemed to give
me strength, so that on Sunday after I sat up
in bed and ate hearty far a sick woman ; but
the next week I lost all hope and wished my
husband net to give me any more medicine.
but the doctor had warned him of this, and
when the medicine was clearing out the sys
tem it made them feel somewhat restless, and
to persevere ; and he insisted on my taking
it ; and now I feel the benefit of it. For after
eight days I began to gain my strength, and,
with the exception of a cold that put me baek
some, I have been gaining strength of body,
my cough is going away, and all my pains ar,
gone ; no soreness of the body, my bowels are
regular, and my breath is sweet, and I thank
God that I am now going about, and sew and
read as well as ever I could. I have taken
sixteen bottles of the medicine, eight of each.
I now have a good appetite and rest well at
night ; my cough does not trouble me in gett-.
ing up orlying dowu. I would here say to
the afflicted with consumption or liver com
plaint, that Dr. Schenck is no humbug You
can rely on what he says. Delay not ; it is
dangerous to trifle with these diseases. If
you would be cured, go at once ; and any one
wishing to know the facts as herein stated
can call at my residence, 117 West Houston
street, New York city.

N EW SKIRT FOR 1866 1
Do Ghet iiibeiltion of ilie age, In
HOOP SKIRTS.
J. W. BRADLEY'S
New Patent Duplex Elliptic (or double)
Spring Skirt.
THIS Invention consists of Duplex (or two)
Elliptic pure refined steel springs, ingeniously
braided tightly and firmly together, edge to
edge, making the toughest, most flexible, elas
tic and durable spring ever used. They sel
dom bend or break, like the single springs,
and consequently preserve their perfect and
beautiful shape more than twice as long as
any single spring skirt that ever has or can be
made.
The wonderful flexibility and great comfort
and pleasure to any lady wearing the Duplex
Elliptic skirt will be experienced particularly
in all' crowded Assemblies, Operas, carriages,
railroad cars, church pews, arm chairs, for
promenade and house dress, as the skirt can
be folded when in use to occupy a small place
as easily and conveniently as a silk or muslin
dress.
A lady having enjoyed the pleasure, com
fort and great convenience of wearing the du
plex elliptic steel spring skirt for a single day
will never afterwards willingly dispense with
their use. For children, Misses, and young
lathes they ar superier to all others.
The hoops are covered with 2 ply double
twisted thread and will wear twice as long as
the single yarn covering which is used on all
Single steel hoop skirts. The three bottom
rods on every Skirt are also double steel, and
twice or double covered to prevent the cover
ing from wearing off the rods when dragging
down stairs, stone steps, &c., &c., which they
ate constantly subject to when in use.
All are made of the new and eegant corded
tapes, and are the best quality inl every part
giving to the wearer the most graceful and
perfect shape possible, and are unquestionably
the lightest, most desirable, comfortable and
economical Skirt ever made.
