WHERE IS THE TROUBLE? 11V Jl-NNV HKADFORD. ••John," asked Emily Moore of her broth- j or, "do you think Mrs. Wilmot is ever j happy r "Ves," lie replied, after a moment’s liesi-! tation, "1 think she is often happy in being 1 very miserable." Emily looked up with a smile, saying, "Very good 1 believe you are rightbut little Carrie, who stood leaning on her eliair, exclaimed, “Happy in being miser able Why John, what do you mean I thought people hated to be miserable.’’ “So it is generally supposed," he re marked, and went on with his reading. “What does lie mean?” asked Carrie, turning to her sister. “Go get him to tell you," said Emily. “l)o please tell me, John, do you think Mrs. Wilmot likes to be so sorrowful I thought site couldn’t help it." The young man closed his book, and putting his arm about his sister, as she stood beside him, returned a quiet smile to her earnest, puzzled gaze. You don't think there is much fun‘in being unhappy, do you said he. “No, I aui sure I don’t, and I did not know that anybody did i can’t understand you.” “\Y ell, my little maul, you will lind a great many curions things in this world of oui's, somewhat hard to understand. You see Mrs. Wilmot has liad trials, and has had to sutler severely, but now she has got into tlie way of it she likes it. She is best pleased with herself when *she feels that she is perfectly wretched, and she is best pleased with other people when thev concede to her that she is the most afflicted, disconsolate, and inconsolable of women.” ••1 should think she would like me, then,” said Carrie, “for 1 do think so; it almost always makes me cry to hear her talk about her troubles." “Did you ever hear her talk of any thing else?" asked John. “But you know,” exposufated the sympa thizing little girl, “she says it makes her feel better to unburden her mind. Wasn't that what she said?” “Yes, and do you know the reason, my dear? She has unburdened her mind again and again, and everybody understands her grievances and sorrows, and is ready to pity and help her as much as niay be; so, where i- the use of telling it all over again. a> she has just been doing here? Why, do you think it makes her feel better, Carrie? She likes to set forth tier griefs in order, so that she can see them; there is no dan ger she might lose some of them if she did not count them over in this way; she might forget she hod a burden on her mind if she did not take pains to show it. and weigh it, and gird it on anew pretty often. She feels better, not because she thinks herself any more happy, but be cause she has reassured herself that sin* has cause for being remarkably unhappy.” “She is welcome to be unhappy, then, if she wants to be,” cried Carrie v\ ith some spirit. “1 wouldn't try to comfort Jier again, Emily.” “She did not seem to think my comfort worth much,'' observed Emily. did,” returned her young sister. “When you showed her how many pleas ant tilings she has left, and how kind her brother has been to her, and talked to her so sweetly about Cod's being willing to love her and take care ot her. 1 thought it wasn't so bad after all, and 1 was dread fully disappointed w hen -lie shook her head so mournfully; “You are very kind. Mi-- Moore, but you cannot console me," she said. “And why Because -lie didn't wish to be consoled, she ‘refused to he comforted.' The little girl mounted herself on the arm of her brother's easy chair, and leaning on his shoulder, sat looking thoughtfully out at the window. In a few moments she returned to the conversation, saying, “1 don't really see how it is," alter all. it does hot seem as though any one could actually wish to be unhappy. Is there anybody else like Mrs. Wilmot?" "1 remember seeing a certain young girl in #ars not longer ago than last Tuesday, who enjoyed them so much that she was near being vexed with an unfor tunate brother of hers, who happened to make her laugh, and so spoiled her cry," replied John. Carrie smiled and poilted at this home t hurst. “Explain to her a little, John, do," said Emily. “My dear Caroline, commenced the brother very gravely, "no doubt you are already aware that -life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' are among ‘the in alienable rights of man,' but you may not et ha\ e observed that people often die because they have not resolution enough to live—to give tip the indulgences which are destroying them, and make the exer tion w liich might secure health they suffer themselves to lie slaves of men and devils, of bad habits and bad passions, because they have not the courage and determina tion to break their chains: and in like manner they frequently choose to be mis erable, rather than to make the saorilioe and the effort necessary in order to be happy. I.et it- take, for example, the last ease referred to; Carrie wishes to go to the concert; she consults her mother about it, and tiuds her of the opinion that it isn't j best for her to go; Carrie appeals to the higher tribunal: her father says, ‘No, m\ dear,' and she very well knows that settles the question. Now, if happiness is the j tiling the dear child most wants, wembdit 1 suppose that when the fact is plain tEat I -he cannot have it in the way of music, -he will straightway try thene'xt best way. j Here are book-, pictures, cousin Dick with] hi- puzzles, and mother with her pretty I stones; which Carrie will none of them, i she w ill not even eat her supper, but re-1 tires to lament her hard fate, and atllict j her soul, and when John penetrates to her I grovvlerv, she heartily wishes he would! li t her alone, to be ju.-t as wretched as she 1 pleases, to have a good time feeling lies-1 peratoly. She feels an emotion of rndig nation both at him and at the -mile which despite herself discomposes her rueful little1 isage past recovery. 1 am not sure that she has forgiven us yet that we did not give her a chance to be miserable how is it, sis?” “Well, I did want to go dreadfully,” said Carrie, coloring slightly. “Yes, dear, I know you did, and it was a sore disappointment to you that you were denied, and your feeling was that if yon couldn t have that pleasure, you wouldn’t have any. The trouble is the same with the rest of irt; that if we can not have happiness in our own way, we will not have it at all. So we willingly cling to our disappointments, and pet and hug them, and push away all the joys which come near. Remember, Carrie, that this is all wrong.” “Why,” she replied, laughing, “if peo ple enjoy crying and grieving, I should think they might have tnejpleasure.” “No they must not. The ‘luxury of sorrow’ is a luxury which nobody can afford.” “But you would not say, John, that we ought never to be sad?” said Emily. ‘('ertainly not,” he replied. One might as well be a rook or a monkey as to be in sensible to grief; kut I do say that we ought never to indulge a habit of sadness, and that we have no right to be unhappy.” “What if we can’t help it urged Carrie. "W e can. We always cheat ourselves when we say that we cannot help being unhappy. It often costs a sacrifice, a great, sometimes a terrible sacrifice, of will, of pride, of ease, but it can be made, and it ought to be. My poor, dear Carrie how little you know of the life before you, and its trials, of the hundred gates for sorrow to come in upon you,” he exclaimed with much emotion, putting his arm about the little girl, and drawing her to him. lie kissed her tenderly, and went on, ‘but you can learn now the lesson which will bear you through them all, and make you happy in the midst of them. Learn to trust a better wisdom than yours, so as to give up to it your own will and your own way. Learn resolutely and cheerfully to say what is true, and do what is right, and suffering will never hurt you.” “Don’t you think little girls have any trials, John?” mui'i'u i uo; ami uus is toe very thing l would make you understand, that it' vou hear your child-trials well, you will bear your woman-trials well. If you had loved and trusted fatheraml mother enough to submit your will to theirs, you would have shown them that you could be happy in giving up a great pleasure, since they denied it: If Mrs. Wilmot loved and trusted God, she wonld show Him that she can be happy in giving up all the dear comforts of her life, since He takes them away. Believe me now, will you, Carrie?" “Why, yes, John, I always believe what you say." “Well, then, you need not be unhappy all your life, if you find yourself so, bie sure there is something wrong, and set yourself with full purpose of heart to make it right." Carrie sat silent a moment and then turned toward him with the manner of one who asks an unanswerable question, say-, “Don't you think I ought to be unhappy when I have done wrong “i ou ought to be so thoroughly sorry as at once to repent and be forgiven; then there would be no room, no time to be un. happy.” 1 “Wouldn’t I be sorry after I was for-' given?” “Sorry, yes, but you would not havt» that uncomfortable, that tormenting feel ing. which you know comes after a bad act. The worse it seemed to you the more-' you would love the merciful God who for gave it, and the dear Saviour tor whose -ake it was forgiven. When one’s heart, is full of love and gratitude, there is no place for misery. Do you remember breaking that porcelain vase last summer “Yes, and 1 blamed myself a great deal more, ami felt a great deal worse because mother was so kind to me about it.” You felt a great deal worse, and yet I* never saw you look more perfectly happy' than you did when you threw your arms around her neck, with your eyes full of tears, and said, ‘how good you are to for-' give such a careless little Carrie.’ Peni tence isn't the thing to make us wretched, lint mother calls you, and you must go for this time. You do not want to go? Then now is a good time to try your new lesson. If you find yourself unhappy when you get into the nursery, helping mother, just look into your heart aud see what the trouble is-see if it is not because you love Carrie Moore so much better than anybody else.—Tlie Congregmionalist. A DEAD MAN MADE TO SION HIS W1U. An interesting will ease, which has been pending in the courts of Franklin county for years past, riv als in its nature anything of the sort possibly ever heard of in the history of the present age. The circum stances. as gathered from one of the attor neys engaged for the defense (outside of the court-room) are as follows; Some years ago there lived in the town of Wash ington an old bachelor, who possessed a considerable amount of property, and had no relatives save one, who, it is said, was needy. The bachelor was taken quite ill, and was advised to make his will, which he did, bequeathing all his estate to the children ot a friend. The nejvs became generally known in the town of the man ner in which the testator had disposed of his property, leaving no consideration to his relative. While the man still lingered on ins bed of sickness it was made up among some of the friends of the relative that three of them should visit the sick man and advise him to make a second will, with provisions for the relief of his kins man. Consent being given, the parties, who, it is said, were all in liquor, and who had uo personal interest in the matter save the good feeling they entertained for the neglected friend, appointed one of their number to write. The table was drawn up close to the itedside of the sick man, who, as well as ho could, dictated the na ture of his bequest. Before the conclusion and signing of the wil' .re man died; one of the party Jkmarked to the scribe “that it was useless to goon as the man was dead.” However, after its conclusion, the dead man w a» lifted up in a sitting posture

Mid held, the pen was placed between-hL lingers and mode to trace his name, attei which the question was asked, “Do you acknowledge this to be your signature and last will?” Tlie d«wi man, by the aid of those who held him tip, nodded assent. The body was then quietly laid down, and the individuals signed their respective names as witnesses to the instrument. The trio who witnessed the will are now all dead, and the seeming trouble now i the proper construction ot the w ill, which, under the circumstances, and under the influence of an intoxicated brain, the scribe somewhat blended in meaning.—Si.

The rebellion in the Winnipeg or Rett River country, which it was supposed or der, as no doubt many of his followers did. The country is a fine one though in t wild condition generally, abounding in rich mines, rivers and lakes, with a pro ductive soil, and will be when settled and cultivated the seat of a large population »nd trade which must find support through bonnexiou with the people south of the boundary. In thp .States will be their markets,-am I through them the) must Seek a passage to the rest of the world. The settlers realize this if the Governor does not, and aim to shape their destiny according!'-. But the British government is probably as well aware of the facts in the case as its rebellious subjects, anti it also knows —ami here i- the difficulty—that if it gives up the Winnipeg colony it must also aban don a railroad to the Pacific to connect its possessions on the east anil west, uml when tins is given up it must yield all ex pectations of holding those possessions or preventing them seeking annexation to the United States. Already British 'Co lumbia on the west is knocking at the •loor and asking to be received into the Union. Nova Scotia on the east is evi dently coming to the conclusion that her true destiny is annexation, ami the Winni peg* are in arms to fight for it. Here is matter then for the grave consideration ol «>ur British cousins. If they crush the rebels tiie principle that prompts annexa tion will still live. That they cannot de stroy, for it U in accorilauce wii.li the inexorable laws that lead all communities to seek their highest interests. It has manifested itself at both ends of the line as well as die middle, and if the Dominion bolds mil against it any time site will find jt a costly job. A epeeial despatch to the New York Pont, saya there i.-a good deal of doubt as l«> who wilt be appointed as die successor 4tf Edwin M. Mautou on die Supreme Jteuch. It is believed, however, that the President will make tie- selection from J’lmnsvhania. The friends of Judge Strong say that he can have tin- place if Jie wants it, but his inclination is to suc 4 .tlier men. and to keep his bodv under “:.ii almost saintlv vigor. When 1 first km w him In* was n I ready an in valid. ami a uujeet of snlieitude to Ins family and his jiliv. *jun. although he repelled sym pathy, and e en seemed annoyed at inquiries about his health—a pretty sure sign of a con sciousness that all is not right. He worked when he could not eat, and his invalid hours seemed equal to other men's best; for he lived from his soul, and not from his body. It was the 'aliquid immeneum injinit unique' ill him which supplied all that physical strength or exhausted nerves or a weary brain denied. “Just so long ns the country and the cause required him lie was equal to anything and everything, and postponed sickness, weari ness, and almost self-consideration of any kind to the hour when he would not be missed. To his pure hands, up to the arm-pits in the national wealth, there did not stick traitor ously one piece of silver. Nobody not too black tu receive a new stain has dared to hint a suspicion of his integrity. Oh, liow great, how fortunate the lot which that noble patriot has enjoyed and supported! While mere military glory may decline or suffer deduc tions from the sober estimates of history, who does not know and feet that Mr. Stanton’s fame has only begun to glow, and that rays, beautiful and warm ns they are. which with in one week, have been shinning in concen trated splendor about his bur and hardly closed grave, will gather in history into a sun that will fill distant ages and climes with the perfume and the glory of his deeds and his name. If. like another Klijnh, he had as cended in a chariot of fiainc, it would have fitly symbolized his career; for he guided the burning wheels of the national wrath, or ganized its fury, inspiritol its course, wit nessed its victory, declined it- rewards, and almost shrunk from its honors: ami because wo could not pay bint for all this. God took him to His own keeping, and may be trusted to requite our hopeless debt.

The President of the Cuban Junta in New York publishes an indignant card denying that the Junta of which he is President lias issued a circular advising the Cubans to lay down their arms. President Grant is firmly persuaded that the lease and ultimate purchase of the Bay of Samana as a naval outpost, will be of gToat aational importance to the United States. A message embodying bis views, and accompa nied by several important documents, will be presented to Congress after the recess, and there are indications that the necessary appro priations will he made. Secretary Boutwell promptly announces his financial programme for the coining month, so that business men may govern themselves ac cordingly. He has dirt eted the Sul,-Treasurer at New York to continue the sale of one mil lion of gold and the purchase of one million of bonds on alternate weeks through the month of January on account of the sinking fund also to sell one million of gold and pur chase two millions of bonds on the alternate weeks for the special funds. This will secure the sale of four millions of gold and the pur chase of six millions of bonds. The Quebec Mercury says that yesterday (Jan.. 1) an important act passed at the last session of the Dominion Parliament, with the view of preventing Canada being made, an asylum for thieves and swindlers, went into operation. This act provides that if any per son takes into Canada, or has in his possess ion therein, any property stolen, or obtained by fraud or false pretences, in any* other country, in such manner that the stealing or obtaining in such manner in Canada would be a felony or misdemeanor, then the taking of such property there, or having it in possession with a knowledge of its being unlawfully ob tained. shall be an offence of the same nature and punishable in the same manner as if the stealing or unlawful obtainance bad taken place in Canada. It is now claimed that the recent motion made in the Tennessee Legislature for the sale of General Thomas’s portrait was a joke. Somebody had introduced a resolution for having a portrait of General Jackson placed in the Capitol, ami in rebuke to the extrava gance which would buy pictures when the State 'treasury was bankrupt, a Mr. Hinkle moved that the portraits of General Thomas and Senator Brownluw be disposed of. The mover and four of the eight men who voted for it were officers in the Union army, and they have written to Gen. Thomas, explaining their action in the matter and dis claiming any thought of disrespect to him. These parties may be very facetious fel lows. but they were guilty of perpetrating a very poor joke by their motion, if joke it really was. Toe Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist ‘•scorns” to call the Government “our Gov ernment." and it calls upon its "fellow coun trymen," if they are “really anxious to pay a debt of vengeance,” and save themselves from continuous future calamity, to show their pluck, theirmanhood and their strategy, by “cutting off the enemy’s supplies.” Mr. John G. Walker, who has had the Chinese business in charge, says: "There is little prospect at present that •John’ will trespass on the domain of ‘Sambo’ to a serious extent. Those who have held out in hopes of procuring very cheap labor by importing it from the shores of Eastern Asia, are, I think, mistaken in their conclusion. From one end of Chinato the other, the value of labor in American California is well known and although labor in China is very cheap, able-bodied men will not engage to expatriate themselves for a series of years, except on condition of receiving such high wages as will enable them to return home in compara tive affluence. I am confident that no reli ance can be placid upon obtaining and retain ing Chinese labor lor agricultural work, ex cept at the wages of tlie country where labor is performed; ami much more is this tlie case for railroad labor." I he Savannah Utpmmi.au unintention ally pays the memory of Edwin M. stall ton a high compliment when it says: “Mr. •Stanton was a bad man. lie was the life and soul of the Federal armies during the late war, and but for his abilities and un conquerable sterness of purpose it would have closed years before it did, and with the South independent.” It is understood that the movement to raise a fund of $100,CM.M for the benetit of the family of the late Secretary Stanton is progressing very favorably, and that a large amount has already been subscribed. It is reported that Senator Chandler has subscribed $5,(XX), and that other gentle men eminent in political life have given equally large amounts.

In Bangor, on Sunday evening, a low dis sipated fellow named John Lawrence, while half-crazed with rum, discharged four shots from a six-barrel revolver at a woman named Atwood. Three of the shots took effect, one penetrating the side and will probably prove fatal. Lawrence immediately undertook to end his own life by cutting his throat with a pen-knife, but did not succeed. Mrs. Atwood is the discarded wife of a sea-captain, and has for some time been the mistress of Lawrence; it seems that she and Lawrence quarreled and with the above result. Lawrence is a single man. about 40 years sf age. The Whig speaks of him as a miserable, debauched fellow, who, naturally smart, has been dragged to the low est depths by his appetite for rum, and of late has been nearly crazy drunk most of the time. Thr Wrong Man got II. Last September a man by the name of Sidney Potter, residing in Litchfield, had 885 sent him by express directed to Gardiner, Maine. On calling at the Eastern Express office he has always been given a negative answer to his inquiries. This repeated call however led to a further investigation, and it was ascertained that the expected package had been received and delivered to a man by the same name a resident of this city. The rightful owner is now awaiting the arrival of the sender's receipt previous to making a formal demand for the missing stamps.

Lands that are overstocked not or.!} yield less food, but the animals pasturei upon them make a less yield in beef oi milk than when the stock is in proportion to the capacity of lands for producing it. Stagnant or Foul water is injurious to all animals. It causes blood poisoning, anil this leads to many febrile complaints, and is one of the great causes ot abortion in cows and other animals. A faithful following of a well selected plan of general farming will always be followed by larger profits, at the close of a long series of years, than will the fol lowing of that system which attempts to change from one speciality to another* as the prices of different products vary. Nature, in providing grass as the food for domestic animals, seemed to have de signed it for frequent dipping. Can we not, therefore, make our hay of-better quality, and at the same time give greater permanence to the crop, by cutting the grass oftener than we do To keep up the fertility of our pastures, it to evident that we must do our best to cheek the growth of such a vegetation as is rejected by stock. But it is not enough to destroy the useless and injurious plants: we must encourage the growth of the val uable ones. How shall these objects be completed It is impossible to imagine any occupa tion more suited to a lady living in the country, than that of poultry rearing. If she has any superfluous affection to be stow, let it be on her chicken-kind, and it will be returned cent per cent. A few dollars expended in procuring new varieties of good grain will nearly al ways in the end pay from one hundred to five hundred per cent. When farmers' cannot conveniently get these varieties in dividually, they can club together anti thus effect their object. This is a good time for them to begin some clubbing ar rangement to procure Winter wheat and fall barley from a distance. Wheat, to produce the largest yield and best flour, should be cut as soon as the grain is out of its milky state. For seed, it should not be cut unless fully ripe. There ate numerous varieties of wheat that will produce good crops, with reason alde certainty, if the soil lie so cultivated that the plant can gather what food it needs, and mature. The Board of Agri culture of Ohio offers the magnificent pre mium offl ,000; and the standard of forty bushels to an acre is not so high as to make tr impossible to reach it. It can be done, and the competition should be great. New and old varieties of wheat should both have a fair trial. After the wheat has been rendered as dean as a fanning mill will clean, the wheat should then lie placed in weak lye, all the floating grains skimmed off, and these floating grains used for some pur pose other than seed; but all the grains which sink in the lye should be sown. The first runners from any plant are the weakest, the second but little stronger, while the third are best of all. Cut oft tho first and second growth of runners after the fruit, but leave the third root, and they will invariably make good, strong, healthy plants. Many pastures are so overstocked that the roots of the grass and the whole plant are kept so small, that its growth is feeble, and not half the feed is afforded that the land would produce if stocked lightly a year or two. and the grass allowed to get a good thrifty start. Farmers often cure their hay too much, and to guard againts this mistake, some writers urge us to put it into the barn be fore it is cured half as much as it ought to be. Better dry it too much than not dry it enough. And so in cutting grain. There is undoubtedly a loss in letting it get dead ripe. But there is a still greater loss in cutting it before the grain becomes firm. We are apt to crop our land until the soil is exhausted or greatly reduced—in deed, crop it so long as any profit ean be realized. This is very wrong; it is kill ing land, and its complete restoration thereafter is impossible. It can only tie brought up to a profitable point by manure and labor, but never to the original fer tility, if that fertility was large. The way is to seed down before the soil Is reduced. Then there will be a better catch ami a more certain crop. Land should la- kept up. That is the great secret. The “Marshal Neil,” a beautiful clinili ing rose introduced about four years ago, is now foremost among the few that have •"stained the reputation given them when first brought before the public. The rose is of a deep canary yellow, of very large size, ami ©r exquisite fragrance. It has received the highest commendations and drat-class certificates at all the Kngli.di dower shows, and must lie regarded as a great acquisition. Tin- bot-dy is tin* Oestrus JSqui, lav s its eggs on the hairs all over the horse, but mostly on the lore-legs inside the knee. These egg* hatch and are then taken into t|(e stomach of the horse. When in the larva state they teed for one whole year until the following Hummer, when they let go and are then voided and become flies. Where meal is not to tie had, and the 'teaming apparatus, or large Isiiliug kettle, is not available, it answers a good purpoae to mix sliced roots—turnips, ear ewis, beets, parsnips, &c.—with the short cut fodder This mixture is highly relished by cattle, and they will thrive on it if the I root and straw cutters have thoroughly performed their work. In building, greater care should be taken to use good materials. For foundation timber, and like purposes, good judges pronounce red elm more durable than any other wood and oak, white elm, or red i beech, probably come next in order. It is poor economy in architecture to put up light, cheap frames. I THE KENNEBEC JOURNAL. Established in 1828. I Enlarged and Improved. A POLITICAL FAMILY NEW8PAPER. Not Excelled by any in the State.

Dr. Schsnck's Srawkkd Tonic for the cure of Dyspep sia and all the Debilitate 1 Co.ia ol the Stomach. Dr. Suhkni x’s A1a.ni>kak«s Pills for Diseases of the Liver, or to act as a gentle Purgative. All of these three medicines are often required in curing Consumption, though the Pulmonic Syrup alone 1ms cured many desperate cases. The Seaweed Tonic ami Mandrake Pills assist in regulating the Stomach aud Liver, and help the Pulmouic Syrup to digest aud search through the blood vessels, by which means a cure is' soon effected. These medicines are conscientiously offered to the public as the only safe, certaiu and reliable remedies for Pul monary Consumption, and for all those morbid conditions of the body which lead to that fatal disease. Liver Com plaint and Dyspepsia are often forerunners of Consump tion, and when they manifest themselves they require the most prompt attention. 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 !>eriod of more than thirty-live years, in all of which time its reputation has constantly increased, and the most ob. stinate 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 directions which accompany each bottle, he will certainly be cured, ii his lungs are not too much wasted to make a cure possi ble. Even in cases supposed to be incurable, when friends and physicians have desired, the use of this medicine has saved the lif^of the patient, and restored Ifim to per fect health. Dr. Schenck himself was cured in precisely such cir cumstances, 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 Pulmonary Consumption are within the reach of medicine, but he emphatically asserts, that often when patients have the m'jst alarming symptoms, such as a violent cough, creeping chills, night sweats, and general debility, even to such a degree that they are obliged to lie in bed, and when they are given up by their physician, they may still be cured. No medical treatment can create new lungs, but when the lungs are very lwully diseased, and to some extent de stroyed, a cure may be effects! by Dr. Schenck’s med Also, in Scrofulous diseases these medicines are equally efficient- Dr. Schenck has photographs of a number of persons who have been nearly covered with running sores, and now all healed up. This shows its purifying properties, which must be done to heal cavities in the lungs. In the treatment of Consumption, it is of ihe utmost imi>ortance to give vigor and a health tone to the system. Hence it is necessary to strengthenthe appetite of the patient and improve the digestion. Proper nourishment is required, together with such mean as will make the food easily digestible. The articles most suitable for the diet of consumptive |wtieuts are designated in Dr. Sohenck’s Almanacs, 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 requirement is met by the Sea Weed Tonic, aud for this purpose it was designed. When the digestive powers are put in good order, the food has its proper effect, fhe system of the patient is in vigorated, and the lqngs begin to exercise their functions in u normal and healthy manner. Then the healing powers of the Pulmonic Syrup will complete the cure. Pulmonary Consumption is alror sent by mail by addressing his Principal Office, No. 15 North .Sixth Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

Head the Evidence. “Facts arc stubborn things,’* and it is to fact* alone that it is desired to direct the attcutiou of the readers of this* article. Many years of severe and thorough practical trial have demonstrated beyond the peradveuturv of a doubt the fact that the medicines prepared by me, and known as SUHKNCK'S MANDRAKE FILL.0, fcUllENCK’S SEA WEED TONIC, and SCHKNCK’S PULMONIC SYRUP, have proved extraordinarily successful in the cure of di seases of the pulmonary organs, or what, is usually termed Cowhimptios. I 1 atu fully aware that there are many persons wIioh j prejudices rule them so completely that proofs strong as Holy Writ” would fail to convince them of the efficacy of my remedies, and lliat there are others who, under no cir cumstances, could lx- pre vailed upon to admit their merits, simply because such an admission wouid prove detrlmeulal to their particular personal interests. Fortunately tor the welfare of mankind, these doubting people form a coin pari lively small portion of the couunu irv at large. They are to be found here and there, but, i compared with Die great mass of the world’s population, their numbers are so small that I dismiss them, and address myself to those who are willing to listen to the dictates of reason, and Who are disposed to admit the strong logic of j well established facta. We are told almost daily that Consumption, the scourge I of the American people, is incurable that a man whose lungs are diseased must be given over to die that he must abandon hojs* and that the arrangement of his temporal as well as spiritual affairs should claim his earliest atten tion. If there were not facts as undeniable as that the sun will shine in a clear heaven at midday to controvert these random and not uufrequently harmful assertions, l should feel unwilling to take up the gage of battle against them but, fortified with results- facts—which neither theory nor mere assertion can overturn, 1 propose to prove that CON SUMPTION CAN BE Cl RED, and that the medicine* I prepare—THE .MANuKAixE PILLS, SEAWEED UMC, I and Pl'LMOMt' SVKUP—will, if used in strict accordance with the direction*, in a majority of cases effect that which tbefucultyprouou.ee* unpossioL—they n il! curr Con sumption. An ounce of solid fact is worth a pound of theory. Let me, therefore, present the laets connected with uiy own individual vxpericuce. Many years ago, I was a confirmed j consumptive, and like thousand* of other unfortunates, 1 was given up to die. Eminent physician* pronounced my case a hoj>eless one, and told me that if I had any prepara i lion* to make for the final solemn event, that 1 hid better make them speedily. I believed this just as confidently as did the person* who thus affectionately iuformed me that I uiy day* wore numbered, ami that recovery was Ii»i>ossible. Still, the desire to live liugered in my bosmu. 1 wits young, and clung to life with the same tenacity that young men, and old men too, ordinarily do. I did not feel willing to abandon hojie as long as a single vestige of it remained. 1 1 had full faith in the sail information conveyed to me by my physicians, but »till there was a lingering belief that some i thing could be done, though I knew not in what direction to seek for the much-desired relief. It was at this gloomy and eventful fieriod of my history that I first learned of the roots and herbs from which my remedies for this dreaded disease are now prepared. 1 procured and used them, and, to the utter amacemeut of all —physicians, friends and neighbor*—began t improve. .My entire system commenced to undergo a complete renov ation. Exjx'Ctoration, which formerly had been difficult and painful, now became comparatively easy. I threw off daily large quantities of offensive yellow matter. At the same time my long-lost appetite returned. I ate freely of such food a* was palatable to me, and which was at the same time nutritious and wholesome. Expectoration be came less copious and less offensive exhausting night sweats ceased i Die racking and harrassiag cough abated j 1 the fever broke the pain departed llesh planted itself on my sadly wasted frame, and with flesh caine streugUi and full health. From a mere skeleton I became a stout, strong, robiut man, and I have maintained both strength and flesh to this day. I weigh two hundred and thirty five (xmads 1 ain blest with an apatite vouchsafed to but few men, while my digestive organs are amply equal to all the requirements of a healthful condition of my sys- j tern. Now, be it remembered, Jill these wonderful changes were wrought l>y the use of the medicines 1 prepare—MAN DRAKE PILLS, SEAWEED TONIC and PI LMONIC SYKl P. A cure seemingly so miraculous naturally created astonishment in the minds of those who knew me. I was literally besieged on all sides. I had visitors daily who be sought me to give them the remedies which had wrought the wonderful restoration aud had wrested me from the very jaws of death. Letters were received by scores impor tuning me to impart the secret and inform the writers where the specifics for consumption could be obtained. Others, who were too weak too travel, not satisfied with writing, sent for and consulU’d me in regard to their cases. To all these applications 1 responded as I was able. I had fully regained my health, and gratitude for the happy result prompted uie to turn my attention to the science of medicine, with the hoj** of thereby being able to be of service to my suffering ftilow-crvatures. 1 devoted myself cl«»sely to my studies, aud more especially to that branch of them relating to the terrible disease from which l had suffered so long ami so much. 1 investigated it in all its fearful phases, in order to assure myself that my case was not an exceptional one. The cloe r my investigations the more satisfactory were my conclusions. I felt con vinced that tens of thousands of my fellnw-creaturea were* living annually from consumption whae case-; were not as desperate and apparently hopele** as mine had been, and I argued from tins that remedies which had pro>en s«> effective with me would prove equally so with others. I prepared my medicines in a pleasant and attractive form, and aunouucod them to the world. Tin- results are well known. Thousands o( suffering men, women and children, who were on the way to the grave, have deen cured, and are to-d:iy living evidences of the fact that CON SI MPTIl »N CAN BE Cl RED J and I think I may say, without arro gating to myself any more thau is justly my du*-, tiiat 1 have had as much experience in the treatment "f consump tion as any other person in the country, and that my suc cess has been wonderfully great. Let the reader remember that these an* not mere fancied statements They are positive living facts, of which I am the living evidence. There is an old adage which says. “What has l»een done may be done.” I have been completely cured of consump tion by the remedies I now offer to the public. Thousands of others have testified to similar happy results from their j use, and thousands of others still mffcht be benefiUed as 1 have b**ea could they but be prevailed upon to try the vir tue of The Mandrake pUls%Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. All that is necessary to convince the most skeptical of their merits is a fair trial. Full directions accompany each of the medicines, so that it is not absolutely necessary that patients should see me personally, unless they desire to have their lungs examined.
