Editorial Letter.
There has been no mineral wealth as yet
developed inthc vicinity of Cheyenne, al-
though many large mining corporations
have been organized here and the money
capital supplied from this point. In no one
feature, did this enormous two year crty so
excite our wonder as in its Jewelry stores.
With the exception of Ball 86' Black and
Tiffany, we have never seen so large and so
costly stocks of diamonds and other precrous
stones,‘witll gold jewéls and watches far
more costly than any found in the largest
New England cities. As the dealers seem
“ well to do" it is evident the sturdy miner
who has made his “ pile" at White Pine and
elsewhere is ready to invest liberally in pon-
derous watches, and vest chains, for himself,
and brooches and diamondsfior the wife and
daughters at home. At all events this jew-
elry feature is a speciality in this exotic
clime. Little is done in the way of farming.
The soil looks sterile and forbidding, yet the
dry and stunted grass shoots must be very
nutritious, as large herds Of cattle are seen
grazing on all sides, and all of them sleek
and fat. Indeed, grazing of cattle seems the
speciality of the husbandman in this section,
and is no doubt largely remunerative. Good
vegetables are raised, but at the cost of con-
stant irrigation. Forts D. A. Russell, Lara-
mie, Fotterman, Casper, Reno, Phil Kearney,
and C. F. Smith are supplied from Chey'enne,
and garrisoned by a few companies of the
“boys in blue," who eke out their time in
gazing at the passing trains, drilling and
terrilying Mr. “ Lo" the poor Indian, whose
untutored mind has learned a wholesome
dread of the soldier and who commits his
thefts and depredations as far distant from
the forts as possible. The Denver stage
route terminates here and the Denver Rail-
road is soon to be among the things com-
pleted: The Kansas Pacific is also rapidly
stretching its iron fingers up to this point to
form a junction with the Union Pacific.
The next station of importance is Sher-t
man, named in honor of the plucky general.
It is 8,235 feet above the sea, 550 miles from
Omaha, and about 1,400 from San Francis-
co. Here we notice the first snow fences,
although we are assured by a native that it
never falls to a depth of over three inches.
However, the altitude is so great, and the
atmosphere so dry that it rolls and drills
like particles of finest sand and soon fills
any crevice, ravine or cut.
From the mountain gorges flow number-
less streams, all abounding with trout.
while the air is constantly flecked with
duck and other game. Antelope in great
numbers scamper across the plain on the
approach of the locomotive, to the infinite
enjoyment of the juveniles of the party.
We presume we must have seen 2000 of
these nimble little creatures. Hunters re-
poTt plenty of large deer, elk, bear, grouse,
sage hens, quails and duck, to the feathery
part, of which, in great number, we can op-
tically attest.
Fr'om Sherman to Rowliags, our course
winds among the Rocky Mountains & Black
Hills, the mountain scenery being dotted
here and there with snow-patches, and
shining like burnished silver, in th, sun.
'Soon we cross Dale Creek where we en-
counter the first trestle bridge of any consid-
erable magnitude. This one is 600 feet long
and 120 high, spanning the creek and gorge
from bluff to bluff. Several of our party
forsook the cars and walked across on a
plank, underneath the locomotive, (which
went creaking overhead) and yet 100 feet in
air. The timbers of the bridge are so inter-
laced as to render the bridge quite strong
although it has a very stilty and eiherial
look to nervous people. At the time the
road reached this point, it is said, nearly
1000 residents were domiciled here, but now
there is but a single little cabin left, although
the pretty little stream and green valley
stretching away out of. sight below and be-
yond, would seem to invite settlement. The
most striking and indeed’ most exhilarating
thing connected. with this region is the
strange and sudden difficulty you find your
own respiratory organs struggling with. As
a sample: while at Sherman, we left the
train and started on a run for the “ Summit
House” some ten rods distant and on the
apex of the heighth. We had not pro-
ceeded three rods when we found our lungs
in a state of collapse, and it was after a halt
of several minutes that we could catch
breath to proceed. The air is so clear and
rarefied at this great elevation that one’s
lungs have to be acclimated before he can
indulge in much hard breathing. The resi-
dents, we are told, get accustomed to it, and
aside from this inconvenience, it sends a
wave of renewed lite and youthful exhilera-
tion all through cne’s system. It stimulates
the vital powers like champagne and we
are curious to know what its effects would
be upon consumptives.
Who severe storm of October 3d and
4th.extended over a large part of the coun-
try, and the damage. done by freshets was
immense. All through New England and
the Middle States the rushing waters carried
destruction to dams, bridges, Manufactories,
&c., and in a number of places lives were
lost.
At Greenwich, two miles north of Port
Chester, the draw of the Iron Bolt Works of
~Messrs. Russell, Birdsell & Ward, gave way,

dozen other workmen. The precuniary
damage is estimated at $100,000.

very great. At Birmingham, the large Hou-

again badly damaged, some seventy feet of
it being carried away, and the balance will

[13" There is nothing new in reference to
the Bank robbery, which can give a clue to
to the robbers or the property. On Thurs-
day lagt, Mr. Wm. P. Burrall, President of
the Hartford & Springfield Railroad, sent
down a package which was found in one of
the car racks on the through Boston train,
containing $25 of the old State Bills of the
Bank, a few private papers of Mr. Craufurd,
the cashier, and several certificates of local
stocks, of no negotiable value. The suppo-
sition is that these papers, which were
wrapped in a copy of the N. Y. Herald,
were thus placed in the cars as a blind to
mislead as to the direction taken by the
thieves. The most energetic efforts are be-
ing made, however, to capture the thieves
and regain the stolen property. We hope

The J‘flcthodist Episcopal churches of the
511119 of Connecticut are to have a conven-
tion in New Haven in the First M. E. Church
ecumencing Wednesday, Nov. 17th, at ten
o'clock, a. m., and continuing until the close
of the evening session, Thursday the 18th.
The following are among the subjects pre-
sented by the Committee for discussion:
“ The past and present influence and nu-
merical state of Methodism in Connecticut ;”
“ The increase and qualifications of the
Ministry ;” “Our Sunday Schools, their
present condition, and how they may be
impl‘oved;” “The duty of the church rc-
gardiug the Divorce Laws of this State;”
“ The Cause of Temperance, Family Re-
ligion and our Sociiseligious services,”
and a variety of other subjects naturally
suggested by such a Convention.
One marked feature of the occasion is to
be an “Old-fashioned Love Feast,” to be
held on Thursday morning from 8% to 10
o’clock, for the representative Methodism of
Connecticut.
The Convention is to be “composed of
the preacher in charge and two delegates“
or their alternates, front each Methodist
Church in the State," the delegates to be ap-
pointed by a meeting of the members, or
officiary of each church.
There being about one hundred and sixty
Methodist preachers stationed in the State,
the Convention will number very nearly five
hundred members.
Bishops Simpson and Jones, and Presi-
dent Cummings and Prof. Newhall of the
Wesleyan University, have been invited to
address the Convention, and other eminent
speakers will also speak upcn assigned
topics. ,
Such a Convention will promote good for
the cause of Christ. The subject of dieorcc
needs strong and immediate discussion from
the moral side. The temperance cause will
here receive a new impulse, for in this as
well as in every other reform, action as well
as ,‘ judgment must begin at the house of
God.” May we not believe that virtue and
temperance and brotherly love will be pro-
moted greatly by this the first Convention
in the State of “the people called Meth-
odists!” '
Mnssns. EDI'rons :—On Monday morning,
Sept. 27th, it was my privilege to visit, the
neighboring town of Darien. The semi-an-
nual meeting of the Fourth Presbytery of
New York, was held in the Presbyterian
church, of which Rev. J. W. Coleman is
Pastor. This Presbytery consists of some
of the most distinguished pastors in the city
of New York, viz: the Revd. 'Drs. Adams,
Prentiss, Crosby, Hastings, Payson, Wilson
and others. These gentlemen arriving at
Noroton, were welcomed by the Pastor and
Elders, and conveyed in carriages to the
church,where the Preysbytery proceeded at
once to business. Rev. Dr. Crosby was
elected moderator, Revs. Messrs. Stebbens
and Wilson temporary clerks, and Rev. Dr.
Spaulding rc-clected stated clerk; and flom
that moment the business was transacted
with rapidity and thoroughness. - If you had
been present, as one subject after another
was introduced, canvassed and disposed of,
you weuld have confiluded they were men of
earnestness and experience. Their unanim-
ity of views and feelings gave dispatch to
their counsels. Beyond the ordinary Pres-
byterial business, there was nothing to ex-
cite‘special attention. '
The question of Reunion had been con-
sidered at a previous meeting, and now,
nothing remained but the vote. This ques-
tion was put and decided affirmatively.
About one o’clock the' Presbytery ad-
journed, and by invitation proceeded to the
beautiful mansion of F. W. Bruggerholl',
Esq.,where they received a hearty welcome
and sat down to a most excellent dinner.
Having discussed the merits of the refresh-
ments, so amply provided, their apprecia-
tion was handsomely expressed by the mod-
erator, and a vote of thanks given to the
host and his wife. .
After an hour‘ of pleasant conversation,
most of the members returned to the City.
It, however, was my pleasure to remain and
visit Fitch’s Home for Soldiers’ children, in
company with Revs. Messrs. Coleman and
Lindslcy, formerly of Southport. After ad-
dressing the children and listening to their
sweet songs, we were conducted by Miss
Davis, the efficient Principal, through the
extensive library and beautiful and costly
picture gallery. I understand thata cata-
logue is in course of preparation, and that
the library will soon be open to the public.

We take pleasure. in copying the follow-
ing deserved tribute to the above firmfrom
Schenectady Daily Union of Oct. 5th. The
editor evidently- possesses a familiar and in-
timate knowledge of what he is writing
about. We can only add that all through
the West, from Omaha to Buffalo, where we
chanced to meet prominent men, on our
homeward trip, there seemed one universal
feeling of gratitude to Mr. Lockwood’s
House for saving the great railroad interests
from destruction, and of deepest regret and
sympathy over the misfortunes that now
cripple his usefulness to the world of busi-
ness: .
Locxwoon &; Co.—, Amid the stirring
scenes incident to Wall street during the
past week, the suspension of the long estab-
lished house of Lockwood & 00., arrested
marked attention and excited universal sym-
pathy. Nearly thirty years have passed
since chrand Lockwood and Sydney C.
Genin formed the copartnership of Genin &
Lockwood, and became identified with
transactions in stocks. The house continu-
cd for several years to increase in strength
and confidence until the retirement of Mr.
Genin induced a change of ' title, and the
firm of Lockwood & 00. came into existence
with Le rand Lockwood as senior, and Al-
fred Lociwood, Albert S. Waite and James
M. Hartshorne as junior partners. At this
period the general development of the rail-
way interests of the West increased the vol-
ume of securities finding market and ex-
change in New York, and the business of
the new firm guided by the ability and fore-
sight of its founder, assumed a character
which brought it into rank with the most
responsible and prominent houses.
From 1856 to 1800 its identification with
the Michigan Southern railroad, just cxtrlé
catcd from embarrassment by the skill and
energy of the late Henry Keep, will be well
remembered; during t is period also, its
transactions in the shares of the Galena,
Burlington and Quincy, Rock Island and
other leading railways, far exceeded those of
any other house in the street. increasing its
power in financial circles, and its reputation
for responsibility and integrity among all
classes of monied men.
On the retirement of Alfred Lockwood
and J. M. Hartsborne, and the death of Mr.
Waite, the firm name remained the same,
but Messrs. E. S. Munroe and L. I. Van Bos-
kerck, members of the Stock Board, and Mr.
James H. Benedict were admitted as part-
ners, and by them, for a time, during the ab-
sence of the senior partner in Europe, the
affairs of the house were conducted. 'The
suspension of specie payments by the Banks,
and the panic in stocks prior to the outbreak
of the rebellion,found the house prepared to
withstand every shock, and participate with
increased energy in the exciting transac-
tions attendant upon the'lntroduction of pa-
per notes by the Government, the increased
premium on gold and the inflation of prices
in the speculative stocks of the period. Its
prominence and stibility during the war,
and its large subscriptions to National loans
established its position as the leading stock
house of the country, and thereafter its busi-
ness assumed the additional character of a
private banking firm, receiving deposits
which amounted to millions, and addressing
its patrons in all parts of the Union.
The interest and association of the senior
partner in the railway enterprises of the
West is well known, and everywhere sy-
nonymous with energy and ability. He was
the principal promoter of the Danbury and
Norwalk Railroad, and is intimately con-
nected with local improvements in the town
of Norwalk, his birth place, and the home
of his family. ‘ The events which have caus-
ed the suspension of the house are too famil-
iar to be repeated here; the blow under
which it staggered to its fall, imperiled the
financial interest of the whole land, and
wrecked fortunes from New York to San
Francisco. ,
In this long period of more than a quarter
of a century of active engagement in the
most t ing of all occupations, the conduct
of Mr. ockwood has been remarkable for
its uniform kindness, consideration and lib-
erality; the possession of fortune enabled
him to enlarge the sphere of his private ben-
efactions, and his fidelity to principle in his
business relations, has secured for him uni-
versal confidence. When such a man is
prostrated, there.is but one expression, that
of the most sincere sympathy and regret.
We do not believe that he will be long kept
down, or that a life-time of honorable cxcr-
tion will be wholly forgotten.

seems that this vessel put into Wilmington,
after the late gale, “in distress,” and before
she could get a supply of coal was seized
by the authorities for violation of the neu-
trality laws. Her oilicerti are confident that
she will soon be released. The Cuba is de-
scribed as a fine craft of great speed, and
during the late war was a noted blockade
runner, and was finally captured under the
name of the “ Lady Slot-ling.” She has an
armament of some six guns and is manned

formances under. the the tent were of about
average merit. The baby elephant was
“ small of his size,” and “ Empress” was
really a monster; the camels had their backs
up, and the monkeys were as funny as mon-
keys always are; the children of the desert
were dark and noisy,and splendid gymnasts.
The attendance was large.

been expected for some days, died at an ear-
ly hour Friday morning, at his residence,
oncord, New Hampshire. He was born in
1804, entered Bowdoin College, and after
graduation, studied law, and. commenced
. the practice of his profession atHillsborough
his native place. He early took an interest
in politics, and was twice elected a repre-
sentaive to the Legislature of hisState,being
chosen Speaker of the House in his second
term. At the age of twenty-nine he was
elected to Congress, and was successively re-
elected till 1837, when he was elected to the
Senate. He resigned before the end of his
term, and resumed the practice of his pro-
fession. On the breaking out of the Mexi-
can War he enlisted as a private in a New
England regiment, but was commissioned as
Colonel, and afterward as Brigadier General
by President Polk. At the conclusion of the
war he returned to his native State, and
lived in retirement till 1852, when he receiv-
ed the democratic nomination for President,
and was elected, defeating General Scott._—

The above initials appearing occasionally
in your Gazette, has excited considerable en;
quiry regarding their import; and the ques'-'
tions are frequently asked,—What is it?
Where is it? Who is it ?
And it is for the purpose of gratifying this
laudable curiosity, as well as .to acquaint
your readers with the nature of the society,
that I have undertaken the pleasaht task of
an csposc.
My first duty, then, is to disrobc the mys-
tical, and to clothe with simplicity my title,
viz: I. O. of G. T., which signifies, “ Inde-
nendent Order of Good Templars,” an or-
ganization the aim of which is to ameliorate
the condition of fallen humanity, principal-
ly, though not‘ exclusively, those who have
been felled by that dread monster, Intem-
perancc. -
As an Order it is growing rapidly, alrea-
dy numbering in the U. S.,trom two to three
hundred thousand members. It is similar
to other secret societies in that it has its
signs, counter-signs, passwords, grips and
signals whereby members, though strangers,
are recognised. It differs from most degree
societies by inviting ladies to the order, and
to certain positions in the order. The effect
of this difference is felt to be very dctiimen-
ful to our increase, as many scout the idea of
a secret organization that admits women.
We have, however, learned by experience,
that the influence of the ladies has done
much toward forming the character of the
gorganization. Their admission has saved
the initiatory and the degree ceremonies
from all those unpleasant features that we
unbappily find associated with most secret
ceremonies; and in their stead we have a
refined simplicity which truly amounts to
sublimity. A pastor of one of our churches
after passing through the initiatory ceremo-
nies the other evening,- madc use of the fol-
lowing words: “ I have been connected
with almost every secret body in the United
States, but I have never before found in any
ceremony such beauty of expression, such
manliness of character, or such solemn oaths
as I have witnessed this evening.
This is the experience of many ; and what
is true of our initiation is doubly true of our
degree ceremonies, which are said to be the
most beauitfully worded of any secret cere~
monies. Thus you have briefly, what the
G. T. Lodge is, and you will not any longer
be compelled to call it by that ill-omened ti-
tle, “ What is it i” , ‘
mun rs rr?
The Lodge room is over the store of
Messrs. Comstock Bros, at South Norwalk.
As yet the Lodge has not met there, the
room having been hired from the first of the
present month. For the room and new fur-
niture, we are indebted to the contributions
of kind friends, who have been exceedingly
liberal in aiding the enterprise.
wno 1s 11‘?
This question .wculd be more properly
put, Who are they? if it was not for the uni-
ty of sentiment with which they moved, and
although it would not be politic to say much
now, this much may be said in answer to the.
many who have asked, who is it? so often
for a day or two past, and listened in vain
for answer. Say it is the Independent Or-
der of Good Templars. They move as unit
against jutcmperance, by ballot, by influ-
ence, by money, and all they ask from the
enemies of morals is, “fair play and no fa-
vor.” And now, trusting t as the pub-
lic know more of the order, they will give to
it their sympathy and influence.

from the Wayne Co. Democrat of Sept. 16th,
published in Wooster, it appaers that the
Engine gave excellent satisfaction :
The new Steamer, which was to have ar-
rivcd here on the 9th, did not get here until
the 10th inst.
could not have been got here the day of the
Tournament, as it was intended to be a card
by which they intended to advet tisc through-
out thc'Statc on that da , and prove on its
merits what can be pro need from 'the Al-
lerton Iron Works,
The Engine is a perfect model of beauty;
its simplicit is a common feature in a
Steam Fire ngine; There ,othing about
what can be fixed at home, without the ex-
pense to the city of sending of to the works
to have it done. Every part is perfect, sub-
stantial and well made, as attested'by Mr.
A. McDonald, B. Barrett, and other of. our
best machinists. We can congratulate the
committee, in behalf of the city, for the
judgment shown in accepting it. It cost the
city nearly $3,000 less than the steamer
Deluge.
The Engine was built at the Allerton Iron
Works, South Norwalk, Connecticut. It
works horizontally; has two steam cylin-
ders, 6% here and 9 inch stroke; two pump
cylinders, 4 inch bore and 9 inch stroke.
The officers of the Allcrton Works, Mr.
Dudley P. Ely, President of the First Na~
tional Bank of South N orwalk, and also
President of the Allerton Works, and John
C. Stevens, Superintendent of the Works ac-
companied the Engine here. They are wor-
thy gentlemen, and made many friends
while here. Mr. Stevens run the engine
nearly all day Monday, during its trial before
the committee. In the morning at the Rail~
road pond the Engine threw, against a strong
current of wind, 279 feet by measurement,
gine. was brought out in the evening to
throw against the Steamer Deluge, a rotary
Engine built at Seneca Falls, N. Y., to test
which could throw water the fartherest
through 1000 feet of hose. The new Steam-
er thrcw about nineteen feet further than the
old one. During the trial, the new Steamer
made all the steam wanted with the furnace
door open. . It is a greot economizer in fuel;
nuns easy and without any motion. It is the
only Engine from the Allerton Works in
this State, and the Relief Company need not
be afraid to enter a contest with any steamer
in Ohio. Wooster has the “ clean sweep” of
the State in Steam Fire Engines.
Woos'rEu, Ohio, Sept. 14,1869.
We, being a committee of the common
council and Relief Fire Company, No. 4, of
Wooster, Ohio, to report on the acceptance
of a second-class Steam Fire Engine, built
b the Allerton Iron Works, South N orwalk,
(Einnecticut, report: .
The En'ine was taken out at about 8
o'clock AM, Monday ; steam was generated
in six minutes, and the engine began to
work, throwing a steady stream of water
and standing perfectly still, without any vi-
bration. The wheels were not blocked or
the engine jacked off the springs. The en-
gine worked most of the time during the
day; not a journal warmed, nor did any of
the machinery become disarran d. In the
evening, after she had. finished er playing,
she was in better condition to work than, in
the morning. The engine is very handsome-
ly finished; mounted with silver trimmings,
and is a perfect piece of mechanism.
‘In the morning, near the Railroad Depot,
she threw a stream of solid water, through
100 feet of hose 279 feet. In the evening a
second class Steam Fire Engine, (rotary)
built at Seneca Falls, New York, came out
to play with the Allerton Engine for one
hour, through 1,000 feet of hose. The Al-
lerton played throughout the hour, beating
the rotary in distance 19 feet.

- Consumption.
Da. Sonssox’s Pmnoxro Srnnr for the cure of
Coughs, Colds and Consumption.
Du. Sonsnox’s Snatvnsn TONIC for the cure of Dys-
pepsia and all the debilitated Conditions of the Stem-
acn.
Du. Sonnxcx’s MAsnanx-x PILLS for Diseases of the
Liver, or to act. as a gentle l’urgativc,
All of these three medicines are often required in
curing Consumption, though the Pulmonic Syrup
alone has cured many desperate cases. The Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills assist in regulating the
Stomach and Liver, and help the Pulmonic Syrup to
digest and search through the blood vessels, by which
means some is soon effected.
These medicines are conscientiously offered to the
public as the only safe, certain and reliable remedies
for Pulmonary Consumption, and for all those mor-
bid conditions of the body which lead to that fatal
disease. Liver Complaint, and Dyspepsia are often
forerunners of Consumption, and when they mani-
fest themselves they rcquirc the most prompt atten-
tion.
The Pulmonic Syrup is a medicine which has had a
long probation before the public. Its value has been
proved by the thousands of cures it has made through
a period of more than thirty years, in all of which
time its reputation has constantly increased, and the
most obstinate skepticism can no longer doubt that
it is a remedy which may be used with confidence in
all cases which admit of a cure.
If the patient will perseveringly follow the direc-
tions which accompany each bottle, he will certainly
be cured, if his lungs are not too much wasted to
make a care possible. Even in cases supposed to be
incurable, when friends and physicians have despair-
ed, the use of this medicine has saved the life of the
patient, and restored him imperfect health.
Dr. Schcnck‘ himself was cured in precisely such
circumstances, and many others have been equally
fortunate by judiciously making a timely use of Dr.
Schenck’s remedies.
Dr. Schenck does not say that all cases of Pulmo-
nary Consumption are within the reach of medicine,
but: he emphaticly asserts, that often when patients
have the most. alarming symptoms, ,such as a violent
cough, creeping chills, night sweats, and general de-
bility, even to such a degree that they are obliged
to he in bed, and when they are given up b their
physician, they may still be cured. No medics treat-
ment can create new lungs, but when the lungs are
very badly diseased, and to some extent destroyed, a
care may be effected by Dr. Schenck’s medicines.
Also, in Scrofulous diseases these medicines are
equally efficient. Dr. Schcnck has photographs of a
number of persons who have been nearly covered
with running sores, and now all healed up. .This
shows its purifying propertiesnvhich must be done to
heal cavities in the lungs.
In the treatment of Consumption, it is of the at.-
most importancc to give vigor and a healthy tone to
the system. Hence it is necessary to strenvthen the
appetite oi the patient and improve the
Proper nourishment is required, together with such
means as will make the food easily digestible, The
articles most suitable for the diet of consumptive pa-
tients are designated in Dr. Schenck's A manacs,
which are distributed gratuitously. In general, the
most highly nutritious articles are to be preferred ; but
the digestive organs must be strengthened in order to
make either food or medicine serviceable. This res
quirement is met by the Sea Weed Tonic, and for this
pur‘pose it was ’desloned.
\ hen the digestive or ans are put in good order,
'the food has its proper e ‘ect, the system of the pa-
tient is invigorated, and‘the lungs begin to exercise
their functlons in a normal and healthy manner.
Then the healing powers of the Pulmonlc Syrup will
complete the cure. -
Pulmonary Consumption is almost always compli-
cated with Dyspepsia. and Liver Complaint. Dr.
Schenck’s Mandrake Pill are intended to remove ob-
structions from the liver and restore its healthy ac-
tion. They have all the efficacy which is ascribed to
calomel or “blue mass,” and are warranted not to
contain a particle of any mineral poison. These pills
cure the most obstinate costivcncss, sick headache,
piles, billous affections, and all other diseases which
arise from a torpld or obstructed condition of the liv-
er. One box of these pills will prove the efficacy of
the medicine. ‘
In Consumption, the Sea Weed Tonic and Man-
drake Pills arelnvalunble auxiliary medicines. They
relieve the sufferings of the patient and assist-the
Pulmonic Syrup in effecting a care. They have been
found useful in advanced stages of Consum tion,
where the lungs were almost entirely destroye , and
all symptoms, according to physicians, indicated
speedy cath. The lives of patients who were actual-
ly in a dying condltion have been preserved for
months by the use of Schenck's three test remedies.

At the Cape of Good Hope the Hottemots have lonv

from those.rude practitioners by the English and
Dutch physicians, on whose recommendation it was
employed in Europe, and has now come into general
use. It. is given chiefly in grave], chronic catarrh of
the bladder, morbid irritation of the bladder and are-
ihea for female weakness and debilltynfor prola see
and bear-in down, or prolapsus uteri, diseases 0 the

and all diseases requiring the aid of a diuretic arising

To cure these diseases we must bring into action the

To neglect them, however slight may be the attack, it
is sure to affect the bodily health and mental powers.
Our [lash and blood are sup .rted from these sources.
Persons at every period 0 life from infancy to old
