\‘v'asruxo'rox. March 12th, 1376.
liuxu Gazarrs :~— The Belknap scandal
still monopolizcs public attention. A vote
was taken on the admission of Piuchback to
a seat in the Senate and lost by two votes.
This, in ordinary times, would have produced
wide-spread excitement, but now, it was
but a ' passing ripple. A vote admit-
ting another State to the Federal Union
also passed the Senate, but all interest in that
important event was speedily brushcduway
that all nright discuss the War Secretary’s
case. In the Capitol and out, it and its con—
i'tlllllltllll themes are all absorbing. In my
lasl'l gave some account of the case as for-
nished me by a General ill the Army. 1 now
have the story as it is understood at the White
House, and as is, no doubt, substantially the
whole truth. It varies from our last week's
narrative in the one important particular re—
garding Gen. llclknap’s knowledge and re-_
sponsibility._ Our latest version isus follows:
The witness Marsh supposing that Belknap
knew the secret history of the matter went to
him and informed the Secretary of his desire
to leave at once for Europe, saying that if he.
went before. the committee of the House it
would rttirr them both. To Marsh’s astonish-
ment the Secretary insisted that-he should not
abscoud. -IIc implored him to go immedi-
air-1y before the Committee and tell the whole
story, as only by so doing could he be vindi-
cated. Marsh had sent. money tolrim by bills
and drafts, Belknap had openly receipted for
the one and endorsed the other and passed
the receipts to his bank account. Marsh, al-
though surprised at Belknaps unguarded con-
duct, had never for a moment suspected he
did not fully know Of the arrangement with
his wife. So, very. reluctantly, he went up
and told his full story. Then Gen. Bclknap
followed, and for the first time was made
aware of the truth of the matter. His Wife
had told him that Mr. Marsh was Trustee of
her first husband’s estate, and his remittances
-were the proceeds of her own property as ad-
ministered by Marsh. Finding he had been
the victim of a conspiracy and the dupe of
both a dead and living wife, the poor man
broke completely down and told the Commit-
tee if they would spare his family from dis-
honor he would confess to anything. On his
return home, and informing his wife Of
Marsh’s testimony and the startling disclosure
of her deception, the frantic woman insisted
that she would rush before the Committee and
confess her crime and duplicity, and assume
the entire responsibility which belonged to
her. The disgraced Secretary forbade this,
saying it was too late, and Ire should stand by
the responsibility he had voluntarily assumed
for her protection. This is the story as it is
understood by the President and his Cabinet,
and as will be proven to be true we are quite
confident, if ever the case is brought to a le-
gal sifting of the facts. Mrs. Belknap has re-
portcd’this several times to her most intimate
friends, and asscverates its truth in the urost
solemn manner. A decided change has taken
place in public feeling toward the unhappy
Secretary. From contempt and scorn and
.1l"meansted...exscettitnunvss‘arcrrnrt§ét3€
it. will also be remembered that we compli-
mented the Democracy, in our last, in view
of their apparently sincere and decent feeling
of reprobation of the national disgrace, rath:
er than partisan exultation over the fall'of a
political opponent. Truth compels us ' to
qualify this statement, also. It is humilia—
ting to plead such a necessity, nevertheless,
so it is. So long as a Republican only stood
in the pillory, very little angry partisan feel-
ing was exhibited by them. But as soon as
subsequent developments cast. suspicious 0di-
tun upon Democratic leaders, these meek
doves stopped their cooing and howled as fe-
roeionsly as a kennel of tigers. It is the old
Mango Park story over again. The hunting
of tigers in the jungles of India is a. most en-
tertaining sport until the tigers turn and be-
gin to lumt you I Then the pastime though
no less exhilerating, is much less agreeable
and protnotive of good temper. It turns out
that ;Mr. Marsh in his quernlous confession
before the Committee uncovered the Hon.
Geo. II. Pendldmz in practices not altogether
clean and clean. Nor is this all. It seems
the three Democratic members of the Investi-
gating Committee had a. secret examination of
Marsh on Monday, and got his story, un—
known to the two Republican members there-
of. This is not all. As soon as Marsh had
given his testimony before the full Commit-
tee on its regular day of meeting, he was re-
kased, and to all intents and purposes hurried
out Of the city by Iliester Clymer the Dem.
oeratic Chaimran of the Committee? Mr. C.
went so far as to go with the, witness and
show him how and whereto draw his fees,
that he might leave in the first train. He
even proffered, it i's said, to draw the fees and
send them to him by mail, if it should'pre—
vent his departing in the first train. The wit-
ness did so depart, and as Mr. Lincoln
would say, no old woman ever “shood” her
ducks across a pond with more energy than
('1 ymer displayed in gettin rid of Marsh.
The reader knows with what flourish of
trumpets the impeachment was prepared ;
the solemn gravity with which the Senate
was duly notified ; the spirit with which the
President and Cabinet,-and our Republican
friends in Congress insisted that . ”Belknap
should be criminally prosecuted. With sound
and fur ', and just indignation all these things
were set in order of execution! But 10!
when the; test. is to be made, both impeach-
ment arid criminal prosecution fall to the
groundkpecause there is no witnegs to prove
the crime. And why, forsooth, the Demo-
cratic members of the Committee had re-
leased him and hurried him away. Mr. Bass
one of the Republican members of that Com-
mittee, on Friday evening told the House the
full story of the transaction. We would do
our opp'dnents no injustice, but we predict
the bottom Of this unsavory affair has not
yet been reached. Either there was a secret
and corrupt motive in thus hurrying away
the witness. Marsh, or—else believing they
had such a crushing weight to put upon their
Republican adversariesas to insure their over-
throw—they lost their heads and enacted a
performance little removed from downright
idiocy. The ill-temper and exasperation cx~
hibited by the. Democratic members of that
(“cunnittcc wheneverthc subject is alluded
to. has also a most unfavorable look.
The “’ashington Star, a neutral paper of
Democratic proclivitics, has the following
concerning the Pcndlcton scandal:
“Mr. I’endlctou reported this morning to
the committee to give testimony in the mat
ter affectinghis'intcgrity, it; connection with
the payment of the war claim of the Ken—
tucky Central _ Railroad Company by cx-Scc-
rotary Belknap. Tire committee declined to
hear him until Monday. Meanwhile it is
hinted around the Capitol that he proposes to
privately rehearse his testimony to the demo-
cratic members, so that they may know just
what and what not to ask him, when on the
stand."
The Washington correspondent. of the N.
Y. Herald, M r. Nordhofl', and Gen. Boynton,
of the Cincinnati Gazette insist that. there is
a big cat in this Pentllcfoutwal-bag.
e- «an.
jg€"!:'—::= {12“.
Atthc beginning of‘ the present session,
we asked an open and frank Democratic
member of the House what they were going
to do about our Republican member King,
who was implicated inithe Pacific Mail scan-
dal. ‘tlf’tlrey take my advice,” said he,
“they will do nothing. we carted of! more
heat the Republicans in any such games as
that." And if we do not very greatly mis-
take, the present case Of the disgraceful ex-
posure Of a Republican will be more than
balanced from 'the other side. '
' Another caucus of the Democrats of the
House was held last night to see if any pos-
sible harmony could be manufactured upon
the financial question. It adjourned without
result, as all others have done, and only made
the necessity all the more apparent of keep-"
ing public attention absorbed by their irfchtl-
gations so as to appease the people’s clamor
for practiCal legislation on the financial inter-
ests of the country. Nothing looking
towards beneficial legislation is to be expected
until after all possibilities for manufacturing
campaign material for New Hampshire and
Connecticut are at an end. It is stated the
Marsh and Bellmap matter was held back
three weeks in order totexplode it at just the
right time for its discouraging effect upon the
Republicans of New Hampshire. Every con-
ceivable kind Of a drag-net. has been thrown
out, and all sorts Of slanders concocted in
hopes to, entrap Postmaster-Gen. Jewel], in
the hope that thereby the election in our own
State may be carried overwhelmingly against
us. Thus far their success has been most
melancholy. Thousands of dollars of the
péflrle’s money have been spent in the effort,
‘but our Mr. Jewell, as a corruptionist, don’t
pan out for them worth a cent. Every vil-
lain and drunken bummer who has been dis-
charged in disgracefrom that Ofilce has been
pumped dry by the special committee inves-
tigating that departtnent. The clerk of their
committee is a convicted drunkurd, gambler,
and defaulter, and yet he finds coveted afiili—
ation with these honorable gentlemen, who
hope to smut and besmear an honored name,
for a contemptible partisan advantage.
The same is to bosaid concerning the cf-
forts made on the truck of Secretary Robeson.
The most reckless and indecent conspiracies,
subterfugas, and lies, are concocted to entrap
the Naval Secretary. No one can or Ought to
complain of any honest investigation of a
public officer, but many of the modes of di-
rectly suborning perjury adopted by our
Democratic investigators are simply brutal
and devilish. These zealous partisans will
be confronted before the people, with the
g and loathsome catalogue Of their own
public plunderings. Last week, a clerk of a
Naval contractor was subpcrnaed, and when
questioned concerning his employer’s busi-
ness he declined to answer. Thereof: the
committee went wild and the‘most terrible
stories were put on the market implicating
Secretary Robeson and SenatOr Cattell in
most criminal practices. The innocent clerk
felt it would be dishonorable for him to testi-
fy to anything about his employer’s business,
but when informed by them he could reveal
all he knew and answer fully any question
put to him by the committee, he did so, and
had nothing in the world to tell. But he
was a witness against RobesOn and so he
must be paraded before the Bar of the House,
simply to make a show of him aud,then dis-
charge the poor fellow. The farce was duly
played and the frightened youth, the moment
he was stood up before the Speaker by the
Sergeant—at-Arms, fell .to the floor and .rolled
about in a horrible epileptic fit. We have
seen many of th ,errlble visitations, but
never saw so sic g a sight as that poor
boywrithing in agony on the floor of the
House, and all for no other cause titan to
make a heartless exhibit of Democratic bra-
va'do in the exercise of its mock authority.
On Friday came the Hon. ex—Sec.‘ of Navy
Welles, Hon. \Vm. stOn, ex- t. Sec. of
Navy, and Edgar T. “relies, ex- , ef Clerk
of the Navy, under the Lincoln administra-
tion, all to testify to any posssible thing
they might know of or have heard of con-
cerning Mr. Rebecca’s administration of that
department. The committee have had their
if even the honest democrats Of the natiOri
cbuld come down here and see what pusilani-
mous pigmies in intellect, capacity and moat
worth that party has installed in Congress to
insult a patient peopl ' 'th senseless trifling,
we believe they won] be tempted to drive
them into the Potomac. '
Congressman Seelye made a clear, able and
compact speech on the financial question,
yesterday ; but the Democratic majority of
the House is so irreconcilably divided on the
question that nothing will probably be en-
acted at this session promising any relief to a
suffering people. 1
The Senate confirmed John Tweedy as
Postmaster at Danbury, Thursday evening.‘
’ The House, the same day, ‘ eated the ap-
plication of A. B. Wilson of Waterbury, for
an extention by Congress of his four motion
feed for sewing machines. The debate and
report developed the grangers’ antipathy to
patcrlts to an unusual degree. In the opinion
of the average Democratic Congressman, an
invention is a phblic enemy to be suppressed.
Gov. English and Representative Barnum
left Friday for Connecticut. Mr. Barnum
was called home bya telegram from Dr. Hub-
bard announcing the dangerous illness of his
aged ,mother, at Lime Rock. Mr. Barnum’s

Fran—About 11 o‘clock, on Friday night
last, flames were seen issuing from a house
owned by Roswell A. Raymond, Down
Town, and occupied by Mr. Francis Hawley.
The building was entirely consumed with all
its contents. Mr. and Mrs. Hawley Were in
Southport, and returned next morning to find
their home in ruins. The fire was undoubted-
ly incendiary, and it is possible that firehouse
had been robbed. Mr. and Mrs. liawley lose
$25 in money, their sewing machine, their
pictures, silver ware, all their household fur-
niture, and in fact everything they possessed.
It is a very sad case, and we are glad to hear
that a subscription paper is to be circulated
for their relief. We are assured that they
are very worthy people, and trust our citizens
will help them out in their extremity. Per-

Found Dead.
On Sunday morning last, about 85 o’clock,
Mr. Sylvester Smith discovered the body of
Mr. Robert Geddes lying under the 'Danbury
& Norwalk Railroad bridge, just above River-
side Foundry. He was lying flee dewnward
in the water, with one leg out of water, on
the center stone pier, dead. A jury Was
summoned, and a verdict rendered as follows:
vnanrcr.
Nonwam, Maarch 12th, 1876.
The undersigned jurors being duly empow-
ered and sworn to inquire into the cause and
manner of the death of Robert Geddes, whose
death was, sudden and untimely, and the
cause and manner of which was unknown,
having viewed the body Of said deceased and
considered the evidence given to us, do on
our oaths say, that said Robert Geddes came
to his death by falling through the railroad
bridge, by cause unknown to us, whereof we
subscribe our names.

Mr. chdes was employed at the Union
Factory, and had recently moved to one of
the houses just above the bridge. There was
a mark upon his forehead, probably caused
by striking one of the timbers in his fall. It
.is sumrised by some that he was on the bridge
when the night train came down, about 9
o’clock, and stepped one side to escape it, and
fell between the timbers in so doing. The
jury recommend the Railroad company to
construct a foot bridge outside of the present
structure, as a means of preventing similar
accidents in the future.

Our city fathers lind’u yerv lonely,-"quiet_.
meeting, last week on Monday night. '-At. its
Opening,.a bare quorum was present, and
only one lobby member.. The monotony,.
however, was enlivened by the joviality of
the Fire Boys in the adjoining room, who in
their mirthful play‘un‘d lamb-like freaks burst
open the door leading into the Council
room, and let their “Dog of war” loose upon
the sage and solemn councilmen. His
dogship did not greatly relish the company,
or else Ire (lid not approve of the minutes
which the city clerk was reading, as Ire soon,
with a bow, wow, withdrew. The routine
business being accomplished, the matter
of widening, grading, Std, Of South Main
street, was-taken up, and» the report of the
committee to assess damages and benefits--
accepted by a majority vote, only.- R. II.

or the unexpired ‘crm of N. Taylor, re,-
signed. Ilon. Tahuago Baker was elected
Street Commissioner over his competitors
Mr. Dibble and Mr. Blank. It is hoped that
our new street commissioner will not fail to
fully enforce the votes of the council, or' the.
ordinances, and have side-walks laid, where
needed, but not attempt to do it as some have
done heretofore, before the street has been
graded, and in one instance, before a survey
of the street was made. .

Another week has passed, remarkable for
its quiet and freedom from unusual noise
and confusion, and for its pleasant days and -
moonlight nights, which lras been a great
favor to the large numbers who have attend-
ed the religious services in the various
churches. The remark is often made “how
uuiet it is”'and it may well be asked, as nev-
er before has there been such universal at-
tention given to the truths of the Bible, as
explained and enforced by 'the ministers of
,the city churches, or their aids, afternoons
and evenings, throngs have been present. at
the various services. The religious feehng
has grown more intense day by day, and the
majority of the community are deeply inr-
pressed with tt‘uth. The club room, coun-
eil room, gaming table and saloons have
been almost deserted. Members Of churches
have made a great sacrifice of time and
effort, in endeavoring to sustain the meetings
and are greatly rejoiced to know that ‘many
are sacrificing pride and prejudice and have
come out boldly and yet humbly, acknowl-
edging their love to Christ, and of this num-
ber are many of the prominent men of our
community; others who are still enquiring
have not yet come out and acknowledged
their conversion, but the fact that men so
prominent, in the community should, become
interested in religion, and avow their faith
in Christ, i311 happy omen, and a remarkable
fact, and should be a cause of heurtfelt joy
to all Great good will result from the conver-
sion of such men, if their conversion proves
to be sincere. '
run uxxox .wranxoox rnhvnn MEETING
has been continued daily at the Congregation-
al church; and on Saturday was full. Rev.
Mr. Hamilton, and several of the brothers
and sisters of the Borough ' churches were.
present, taking an active part in the exerci-
ses. Mr. G. P. Adams, of the Methodist
church, directed thehervices.
run Marnonrsr cnuacn
was filled to overflowing on Sunday morning
and evening, to hear Dr. Pearn, and welcome
him back to his scene of labor, where so
many were deeply impressed with . their sin-
fulness. The services were exceedingly
interesting and impressive and at the close
of the evening service, many expressed a
wish for prayer on 'their behalf, by going
forward to the altar; among them one, a
young man, who had told his mother he
never would do such an act. But a mother’s
prayers, and the strivings of the spirit
prevailed. ' . '
"Rev. Mr. Taylor continues to‘labor unaided
by any except his church officers and laymen.
Here is also a (Irecious work of grace pro-
gressing, the result of earnest prayer and la-
bor. Sabbath morning the rite of baptism
was administered to many 'convcrts, In the
afternoon a prayer meeting was held, and
largely attended, not only by enquircrs but
by others who told of the wonderful work of
redeeming grace which wfi going on in the
hearts of men. Mr. Taylor certainly bears
up under his great responsibilities and labors
and is being richly rer 'arded by accessions to
his church. ’ —.
Tun obnoamarroxat. cuuac’n,
owing to the union services being held there,
has received more notice. Every evening
during the past week preaching services have
been held, at which Dr. Holbrook has preach-
ed. Other meetings aside from the regular-
1y appointed meetings, have been held, and
participated in by. members of all the churchés
and cgngregations, at which Dr. H. also aided
in the services. OnSabbath morning his dis-
.course was founded on the text “ The Har-
vest is past, the summer is ended and we
are not saved.” At three p. m. a prayer and
praise meeting was held, when the . new con-
verts were requested to give the reasons of
their hope of eternal life through. Christ.
One said Christ appeared nearer and dearer
every diry; another that he was an old sinner
but a young soldier, and alluding to the mor-
ning sermon, said, one in a thousand only are
converted at the the age of sixty, I am that
one. Other testimony was given by both old
and young, some melting down under the joy
which they experienced in the new life. The
. services were continued in the evening, con-
ducted by Dr..Holbrook and Mr. Dunning.
The sermon by Dr. H. was frb’m the words,
“My spirit shall not always strive with man’,
a semen impressive and pungent. At the
close another opportunity was given to any to
manifest a desire. for prayers, and was re-
spondcd to by about forty, many of whom
expresseda hppe that they had found the
Saviour, and had been led in the right. path at
last.
A most remarkable fact is noticed as the
result of this deep interest. It is ufiecting
thinking men, and the result is the drawing in
from all classes, the merchant, mechanic,
lawyers, editors, doctors, artisans, laborers.
Men, women, adults and children, are: com-
ing to a saving knOwledge of Christ, and it
will be only too happy a circumstance if all
are so affected by the ,spirits blessed influence
as to huslf‘ the. voice of slander 'and malice.
Meetings are to be continued every night this
week in all the churches. .
A Temperance prayer meeting was held in
the store on the Bridge, Sunday afternoon,
with good results. Another will be held at
the same place lVedncsday evening at 7.}

Found in a Starving Condition.
On Monday morning last, Mr. \V. E.
The work (if the Commission goes on as if i
The general» clearing _up and
grading of the grounds, setting out, of trees
and shrubs, mikingwalh and general Out-
door preparations, r‘r‘ext in attraction -to the
immense buildings themselves, and there is
, fortietlr anniversarywas observed with ap-
Hris opinion that the. matter was dead spawn
’ Professor Henry A. Beers. The article is to
hardly any doubt that in another month, the
out-door work will be about completed. The
Director-General has issued an order that no
lumber or building materials shall be allowed
inside the «Ware after the first of April.
The proper r erpretation of the order is that
the various State Buildings,restaurants cxteu-
sions and other structures now being erected,
must necessarily be completed on or about
that time.
In front of the probable main entrance, op.
posite Machinery Hall, the Pennsylvania It.
R. Co. are erecting a large and commodious
and will be of the greatest convenience, for
all that a person will have to do is to take the
cars at Jersey City and go right to the very
door. At present it is about thirty minutes
ride from \Vest Philadelphia, the nearest rail-
'ro.rd terminus.
And while speaking- of the Penn. R. R.,
allow me to make a correction regarding the
fare published in your issue of the 20th nit.
Being an interested party we made inquiries
at the office of the company and was inform-
ed tlrat the return tickets were good only for
the day and the day following the date of
purchase ;. however, the reduced rate is a very
great relief, such as it is. This road has ex-
ercised an almost intolerable monopoly for
years, charging $3.25 for a ride of 90 miles,
or more than 3; cents per mile. ' The present
fare $2.75, although it is a welcome reduc-
tion, still is too high_—t.wo cents a mile for 90
miles is all that. ought to be allowed. The
new railroad, called the Bound Brook Road,
made the 'firsttrip this week. We learn the
contemplated charge to or from New York
will be $2.00. This price will probably be_
reduced during the Exhibition; the impres-
sion is that ticket‘or the round trip on both
roads, to and from New York, good for one
month, will be sold for $3.00; if such is the
case on these, and a proportionate reduction
on other roads, it will undoubtedly add great-
1y to the success of the Exhibition.
The greatest precautions have been taken
against fire, inside as well as outside Of the
buildings. Fire plugs have been set about
100 feet apart on a level with the floor in all
of the buildings, so that in case a fire should
break out, a hose can be attached in a mo-
ment. The pressure on the plugs is due to a
head of water of almost 70 feet, or 30 pounds
pressure per square inch; besides there are
two steam fire engines, one keeping steam up
all the time, three large Bubcock extinguish
err on wheels, and an innumerable quantity
of smaller Ones, two Hook &Ladder Trucks,
and a well-drilled company Of fifty men, paid
for the purpose, who practice every day.
The exhibits, irrcign and domestic, have
been comir'r'g in fast every. day this week,
more especially nglish and Belgian ex-
hibitors, whoexpect to make a very attract.-
ive display.
P.ubly one of the most attractive places
will he the Much'urery Hall. In the middle
of the Hall stands the monstrous Co'rliss En-
gine; farther on in the Transept is the hy-
draulic Annexe, in the center of which is a
reservoir 160 feet long and 00 feet wide ; the
water in this will be from six to seven feet
deep. On further and facing the Transept
will be an- overflow thirty feet high from the
floor, fed from a tank 36 feet long, 185 feet
wide and 3s feet deep. This tank will be
supp ' d by two of Andrew’s Centrifugal
Pumps, worked by ,two one htmdred horse
power engines, capable of lifting from the
reservoir and discharging intp the tank, 30,-
000 gallons per minute each; this will give a
continuous overflow of about three inches in
depth ‘Over sill ‘of weir into the reservoir,
falling from a height of 32 feet, his will
undoubtedly be a very attracting an refresh-
ing sight durig the hot weather, and will be
kept in operation during the hours of exhibi-
tion. _ ,_ 7, ... ...-
and same depth as reservoir, for the purpose
Of supplying steam pumps and all .otlrer kinds
of hydraulic machinery, of which there will
be the greatest display that has ever yet been:
on exhibition. These pumps all have to lift
and force the water to a uniform height of
sixteen feet, discharging into the same reser'
voir; one pump is to have a suction pipe of
3 feet in diameter and 20 inch discharge, dc-
livcring over 32,000 gallons per minute, or
more in an hour than would supply-tire Bor
ough of. Norwalk, with its present consump
tion, for five days.
Tire U. S. Building and Woman’s Pavilion
have been formally turned over by the cou-
tractors and accepted by the Commission.
Horticultural Hall is still in the hands of the
contractors,,as if they were 10th to give it up.
The magnificence of the interior, exterior,
and surroundings of this building will proba-
bly excel, by far, anything of the kind in the
country. Agricultural Hall will probably be
finished in about three weeks, and will be ad-
mirably adapted for the purpose intended.
The question of keeping the exhibition
open on Sunday has been. acted upon by the
Commission, who consider it inexpedient to
do so. There is to be a strong effort made to
have this decision reversed; undoubtedly it
.would be of great pecuniary value to the Com-
mission, an Of great convenience to many
who cannot go any other day, but this is a
representative show_ of our great nation, and
we must .show to the world our spiritual
wealth as well up temporal greatness. at c.

Extract of a letter from Rev. Richard Etlcs, of
* Bolton, Mass.
I
“ For years I wash sufferer from boi 15,50 that my
life became wearisome through their frequent and
persistent rerurrence. A earnuncle, which ulti-
mately occupied a space of three or four square
inches, formed in the small of my buck.‘ During
its progress large pieces of“ decomposed flesh were
every day or two cut away; and the pr ration
and general disturbance of the system we great.
Before I had recovered from this attack two smaller
carbuncles broke out higher up, and I was again
flu-queued with a recurrence of the sufferings to
which 1 had so long been subjected. It was mm.
time that I commenced taklng the l’ulwvrax
SYRUP. I continued taking it until I had used five
bottles ; since then I have had nothing of the kind.
I attribute this improved state of my system en-
terely to the I’nuuviax SYRUP; ant It‘eel thatI
cannot express my_obligattons tort in terms too
strong. For'yeurs 1 was one of the greatest suf-
ferers. Other medicines gave are partial and tem-
porary relief; but this remarkable remedy, with a
kind of intuitive sense, went directly to the root
of the evil, and did its work with a thoroughness
worthy of its established character.”
Dr. Schenek’s Standard Rememes.

lungsare SCIIENCK’S Puuloxxc SYRUPSCIIENCKB
SEA WEED Toxrc, and Scuuxcu’s Maximum
PILLS, and, if taken before the lungs are destroy-
ed. a. speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenek, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripcns the morbid matter
in the lungs; nature throws it 011' by an easy ex-
pectoration, 101' when the phlegm or matteris ripe
a slight cough will throw it 011', the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills and Schenck‘s Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely usul to cleanse the
atrium: 'uvcr‘, removmg all Obsffitctr’ons, relax the
gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is
soon relieved. 0
Schenck’s Sea. Weed Tome is a gentle stimulant
and alterative; the alkali of which it is composed,
mixes with the food and prevents soaring. It as-
sists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a
healthy condition, so that the food and the Pulmo-
nic S) rup will make good blood; Then the lungs
heal, and the patient will surely get well if care is
taken to prevent fresh cold.
