In the few notices I give you, I shall confine myself to College classmates, who are natives of Maine, but have left the .State, and distinguished themselves else where. I do this partly that we may know the value of our State and of Its institutions of learning, and of our young men; and that we may be led to appreciate, in part, the merit that has passed away from our sight, or has failed of appreciation from the fact that men do not ordinarily get honor from their own State. I will speak briefly of ltev. Elias Bond, now at Koltala, one of the largest of the Sandwich Islands, Hawaii. He was a na tive of Hallowell, Me., brought up under the preaching of Dr. Shepard, was grad uated at Bowdoin, 1837, and at Bangor 1840. He left the country in 1841, for the then distant Sandwich Islands, where hi* life woik has been. But what ol Bond when he was here with us 1 knew him only in College, lie was distinguished there for industry, modesty and great excellence and uniformity of character. He was prompt at recitation, and every college duty. I think no one remembers any wrong word he ever said, or any wrong lie ever did, while at college. But his voice was seldom heard; his diffi dence restrained him from any showy de monstration. But he was always at the Place of prayer, and at the post of duty. Every one thought well of Bond, and said lie would do good in the world: but per haps no one supposed he would ever be come distinguished. His great modesty and diffidence forbade any such hope. Nearly thirty years ago he left the coun try (having taken Ellen S. Powell of Port land as his companion) and joined the Sandwich Island missions. He has held his position there with honor and credit to himself, during all these years. He was put in the midst of blank heathenism, to teach the natives Christianity. There was no one there to tear but God, and that in the good sense. Ilis diffidence and mod esty could not well come into play, in any injurious form, or in the midst of that great mass of ignorant and degraded hu manity 11 is mental and Christian develop ment was positive, and to many astonish ing. Good things were looked for from him, and useful things in abundance, but not great and startling. Let me now give a brief record of thirty years; not from his own modest hand cer tainly, but none the less true nevertheless. He worked away upon that heathenism, he preached, he" taught, he prayed and wept, but rejoiced iu the Lord, and in his work, greatly. Ten years ago, he had received seventeen hundred members to his church on profession. He received over seven hundred in one year, when the greatest revival, perhaps, over known iu the church, occured. These members L_ 1_1.1 ..i _11 _ _1.1 1_1__ uiiw uum uui sift wen as uuuiu uavo ueeu hoped under the circumstances. As the natives crowded around hi» (P hear, he set himself and them to the work of building a stone church. The timber was dragged down from the mountains hy large gangs, with ropes. The lime for mortar was gotten from coral, in the bed of the ocean, seven miles distant, the na tives diving for it. The great church was ilone; but the winds of heaven blew it down. Another was built in the same manner, a hell was put upon it, an organ was put within it, and all was done un der his leadership, the liardest worker al ways in the whole gang. Mr. Bond was the first missionary to throw himself upon the native church for support. His salary has never been over $600; a part of the time it has been only about half ot that sum. Iiis rule of benevolence, his brethren telj us, has been oiu.'-lrnth of his salary and one ji/lh of all else. He makes a quarterly tour, of two weeks, to twenty schools, examining them,.preaching to them, &c. He boards and teaches some fourteen hoys; has helped educate over two hundred in his family school. lie has done great service to the cause oi education in the islands, defend ing it from papal, semi-papal and infidel efforts. lie has prepared books, hymn books, (!tc. He has been sub-commissioner to settle land claims between chiefs and people. He has been health Commissioner, involving much labor in years of sickness. He had charge of the school fund, and been Treasurer for the people. He has been Land Surveyor, and has laid out some fif teen thousand acres in lots. He is Post master, mailing some three thousand let ters yearly, anil all this without pay. He has rejected numerous offers"to engage in profitable business. He established a sugar plantation, to furnish employment to the natives. lie has been one of the most busy men in the world. He stands among the first now in point of influence and talent, among the missionaries at the Islands. His field has been, perhaps, as large as our county. He lias cultivated the whole of it, in some sense, lie is laying off congregations and churches now, (under native pastors) from his great charge, where he has been a spiritual overseer—an omnipresent itin erant. He has never returned home to this country, A thousand dollars were offered him some years ago by a benevo lent friend in Portland, to pay expenses of a visit, hy himself and his wire, to this country; but he could uot leave; his work was there, his heart was there and there he wished to rest at last. But he is now wearing out. He came this year to Calif ornia, for his health, anil stopped a few weeks. The Pacific railroad tempted him to cross the continent; the voice of friends and of affection called him here, to his na tive State. But he has gone back to his loved Hawaii. This is one of the sous of Maine. We will not he proud of 1dm, but we will bo thankful for him. He is the offspring of Bowdoin and of Bangor, and is a standing proof of their usefulness to the State and the world. He was brought up by pious parents in rather humble circumstances; and under the ministry, I have said, of l)r. Shepard. He was taken into the church under ins care and fiis work abroad has been one of the hanilsful of seed sown upon tire mountains hy that great man, that now shake like Lebauou.—■ wWw*# Willis in J’vrCluiul iVtss.

At the meeting of the National Association of Teachers held last August in Trenton N.

At the next meeting in Washing-j ton. the first ot March, lie has been selected to give an essay on School Supervision, its necessity, and the best system of rendering it complete.

Proceeded the election of officers with the following result: President: Seth Scammon, Scarboro'. Secretary: Samuel I,. Boardman, Augusta. Treasurer: Wm. E. Morris, Portland. Trustees JGeo. W. Kicker, Portland Seth T. Holbrook, Oxford. The President accepted the honor of a re election in a brief and pertinent speech. The old trustees who hold over, are Samu el Wasson. Ellsworth, and Warren Percival, V assalboro’. Voted, That the President, Secretary and Secretary pro tern., he a committee to inves tigate the matter of amendments to the con stitution,and report at the adjourned meeting. Voted, That when this meeting adjourn, it be to meet at Augusta, in three weeks. On motion of Mr. Dill of Phillips, the last resolve relating to the death of the late Sec retary. Dr. Holmes, was read, and it was reaf firmed by a rising vote. On motion of Mr. Jose of Portland, a vote of thanks was extended to the late officers of the Society, for the able and efficient manner in which they have performed their duties. Voted, To hold a Show and Fair, if suffi cient inducements are offered to the Trustees to make it advisable. To occupy the time until adjournment, the subject of Manures, their management and application, was taken up fur discussion. Mr. Williams of China, said manures should always be housed, either in a cellar or shed. Mr. Wasson of Ellsworth, spoke of the val ue of shoal water fish as a fertilizer and food. We are finding in those»fish a magazine of wealth, both as a fertilizer and as food for an imals. Has been experimenting for two years in feeding it to his stock. Hus found that as food for sheep it is worth, pound for pound, us much as corn. It will increase the clip of wool one pound per head. The refuse of the porgy and herring is very valuable us food for cattle, sheep and fowl. Those who have used the chum dislike the odor, but now it is entirely inodorous. Gives two quarts a day for twelve sheep, and they eat it with great avidity. No salt is used in its preparation. Mr. Goodale—Fish food furnishes animals nitrogeneous food in a highly concentrated form, and is of great value to feed in connec tion with fodder and poor liny. Maine has a vast amount of marine manures—rockweed, muscle-bed, fish, &e. Ilockweed in its green state is almost equal, chemically, to fresh cat tle droppings. There is now in operation a new manufactory at Boothbay for preparing rockweed, barrelling it, and putting it in the market as a fertilizer. These nitrogeneous materials are of great vuluu in composts. We heave a large amount of fish chum made on our coast, and a large proportion is carried out of the State. In its preparation much of its valuable properties are lost, owing to ignorunce or carelessness in its preparation. It needs to be dried thoroughly and immedi ately upon being taken from the press It is not suitable as food for milch cows as its odor will all'ect the milk. It is a great assistance towards forming bone and muscle. Some times a farmer can get his manure the cheap est by buying it in the form of food and passing it through the animal organisms. Mr. Oaks Howard of Winthrop, made some inquiries in regard to cost. &c.. which were answered by Mr. (ioodale. It costs Sib or ®4.*> per ton. Mr. Thing -aid all these manures spoken ol are good, but We farmers have got to depend upon our barnyard manures. We cannot afford to w ork on our own home manures and purchase commercial fertilizers. Mr. Sw ett w as of the same opinion. Mr. Howard favored the use of artificial manures. The President said we are inclined to ex treme views. We need to follow the medi um. It will he judicious to use both kinds of manure under certain circumstances. Adjourned. Kvkxiko Session. A lecture was delivered by lion. Simon Brown of Massachusetts, the subject being Farmers’ Clubs. It occupied about an hour and a half in delivery, and was very well re ceived liy a respectably sized audience. It was a thoroughly practical lecture, tilled with much valuable matter in reference to a movement which is now becoming so popular and wide spread in our State. It was not followed by a discussion.

The eccentricities of the season still con tinue. Sabbath-breakers are getting ready for Sun day. The contested election eases have excited considerable interest. Aide lawyers have been employed in arguing the eases. The person who drinks rum must make up his mind to devote his whole time and atten tion to it. “The Sabbath was made for man.” We hope the women will not find an excuse in this fact for not observing it to-morrow. )nc of the hardy pioneers of the Aroostook was in the city the other day. He reports just snow enough in that section for business. The stage between this city and Belfast is on wheels. Those between Bath and Bock land are also. The three K's—Biting. Beading and Bith metic—were freely discussed in the Educa tional Board. Fill up the houses of worship. Ministers contract the habit of writing empty sermons when they are compelled to preach to empty pews. The subject of Mr. Moor's sermon in his church on Winthrop street, to-morrow eve ning, will be “The true Man of the world or in the world and yet abort it." A special despatch from Lewiston in our telegraphic columns, shows that the Fat Men's Convention yesterday, was a hefty affair.— The delegation from this city showed the true mettle at the dinner table, the most important part of the proceedings. A very pleasant meeting of the Central Homeopathic Medical Society was holden in this city on Thursday at the house of l)r. W. L. Thompson. Papers of interest were read by the members. The clergymen of the city were invited to he present, and a portion of them attended. We shall give in a day or two a full report of the proceedings. Peter Boil, a boy 1+ years of age, was sus pected as one of the party who broke into Manley Tozier's store in WaterviUc a few evenings since. He was arrested ill White field by officer Edwards of Waterville, and much credit is due to Mr. Edwards for his prompt action in the matter. The boy said that he took the money so that he might be able to go to school. Dora Lapclt, a young miss about 13 years of age, had her leg broken in four places on Thursday, while sliding down Winthrop hill. It is a wonder that more children are not in jured by carelessly coasting down this bill. A sled attains such velocity in the steep de scent as to render coasting dangerous business not only to those who participate in the doubtful enjoyment, hut also to those passing the street. The Good Templars of this county held a County Lodge ut North Vassalboro’ village u Tuesday evening and Wednesday of this week. There was a good attendance, tliirteen delegates from the lodge in this city, and nearly the same number from Ilallowell, being in attendance. Wednesday eve was devoted to a public meeting at one of their churches, where several members of the Order from different parts of the county, and Judge Tal inan of Bath spoke to a crowded house. The following elective officers of the County Lodge for the ensuing year were chosen and duly installed. For W. C. T.. B. J. Kacklifl'e of Vassalboro’; W. S., K. M. Mansur of Au gusta; W. T., E. C. Blackwell of Waterville. Mr. Eri Wills ot this city has placed in our hands copies of old newspapers published in 17GU, 1772 and 1773. “The Boston Evening Post" contains a recital of the grievances of the inhabitants of Marblehead against the offi cers of the British crown, and shows the pre monitory threatenings of the revolution which was soon to break forth. Many queer things are advertised. Slaves were sold at auction in the streets of Boston. A healthy negro woman is offered for sale at a reasonable price, and a negro male child given to the per son who may purchase her. There is an ad vertisement of a book entitled “Coming to Christ, or Faith in His Blood of Sprinkling;” and just below it, showing the strange incon sistencies of those days, is an advertisement inquiring if any one has a lively negro forsale. It took a pretty liberal “sprinkling of blood” to eradicate this peculiar institution from the nation. The old fellows in those days could sell a man and woman and then go quietly tu their prayers something like the merchant in a rural town in this State, who had the fol lowing conversation with his clerk; “John, have you sanded the sugar?" .“Ves, sir.” “Watered the rum?” “Vos, sir." “Well, then, come in to prayers.” New England rum is freely advertised. It seems that eggs had become quite scarce, and a substitute had to supply the wnnt. The “Chronicle” dated 25thof January, 1773, says; “Last week we had several falls of snow, hv which pefsons may reap great advantage besides that of hav ing good sleighing, by following these direc tions A certain quantity of snow, taken fresh from the ground, and mixed with a flour pud ding, will supply the place of eggs, and make it equally light. The quantity allowed is two table spoonfulls, and if this proportion is much exceeded the pudding wilt not adhere together.” The experiment had been tried and found to work well. Enow lias this winter been about as scarce as eggs, and higher, a very little huving fallen. Our good housewives could try this experiment when opportunity offers it will cost hut little, and if snow can lie made to supply the place of eggs, a quantity might be melted and kept over for summer use. A preacher affected to style himself the success or of Mr. Whitefleld. He was preaching to a very large congregation in the open air, when in the middle of his discourse the clouds gath ered and a heavy shower succeeded. He was bare-headed but seemed to pay no attention to the rain till he saw many of his hearers be ginning to depart, lie then called out, 1 J1-1.. 1,1..1HL “Brethren, brethren, how refreshing is this showeT that the Lord lias sent.

Perfect safety, more Light and Kronomy. These are three great and desirable objects. The frightful accidents that are constantly oc curring and increasing in number from the use of kerosene oil in the ordinary lamps! which we carry about the house, have sug-j gosted the question, where shall we seek for: a remedy? The remedy has come to hand in the shape of Perkins House’s Non-Explosive Kerosene Lamp, which guarantees perfect safety to life* and property. In purchasing kerosene oil. we are liable oftentimes to be imposed upon by a spurious article, and there is no ri al safety except in a perfect non-ex plosive lamp. We have given the lamp re ferred to a most thorough test, and are satis fied that it is all that the proprietors and agents claim for it. The light is better than that from any lamp we have hitherto used, it con sumes less oil, and has advantages and excel lencies in many respects alw>ve any lamp w ith which we are acquainted.

The present system is growing worse daily. No wonder that so much complaint is heard from parents and others. A new book introduced by a new agent will hardly be* seen before another agent has a better on if committees do, and will believe it. A case of this kind took place re cently in this county. A gentleman went into a Book Store with his daughter to buy a new book, which he did, and told her to run, as a change would be made before she reached the. School House, which was nearly true as the book was changed in less than a week. The man who can bring about a reform in the matter will well deserve the title of a benefac tor to the poor and middling class of the com munity. Bostonian. NOTICE TO MEMBERS.

M. in Auburn llall, Auburn. An unexpect ed large number of delegates, from all parts of New England, were present.

Two hours were occupied with weighing and measuring, after which an essay by l)r. Shut tuck of Waterford, was read, and a poem by a “Fat contributor.” At one o’clock the fat men proceeded in procession, led by Johnson's band and escort, to tbu DeWitt House, where dinner was served.

Kussell were largely represented on standing committees. FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS. Whshinoton, Jan. 21. Skx ate. Bills were introduced as follows By Mr. Patterson, to abolish the Frecdmcn's Bureau and provide for a Bureau of Educa tion. By Mr. Pomeroy, proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, sub mitting the Kith amendment, which, when ratified by three-quarters thereof, shall be part ot the constitution of the United States. The basis of suffrage in the United States shall be that of citizenship, and all na tives and naturalized citizens shall en joy the same rights and privileges of the elective franchise. Each state shall deter mine by law the age of the citizen and the time of residence required for the exercise of the rights of suffrage, to which shall apply equally to all citizens: and shall make all laws in regard to the time and place of bidd ing elections. Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary and ordered to lie printed. The Virginia bill was taken up. Mr. Morton referred to the circumstances attending the holding of the military commis sion in Georgia to pass upon the qualifications of members of the Georgia legislature, claim ing that they indicated the correctness of his previous statement concerning the unwarant ed assumption of power in that state. Mr. Trumbull said he had carefully ab stained from intruding his views upon the Senate in the present discussion, but now felt compelled to reply to the various inuendoes and assertions of a personal character. He had read from the official report in the Con gressional Globe, the remarks made by Mr. Sumner in the course of the discussion on the previous evening upon the subject of a mis understanding among the Senators upon tin alleged agreement to vote upon the Virginia bill on tlie previous Monday. After an explanation by each of the mem bers of the Judiciary Committee, that Sena tor still insisted upon the correctness of what he had said refusing to admit the corrections. The character of one Charles 11. Porter, with whom that Senator had held consultation in the Senate as a representative of the loyal people of Virginia, and for whom he claimed the privilege of the floor, was shown by the published report of the trial of that person by a court martial for using seditious language. The language referred to which was uttered during the war, was that its author would rather live under the government of Jeff Davis than under that of Abraham Lincoln and that the United States government was a humbug, and expressions of tenor. Mr. Trumbull continued in further exposi tion of the alleged untrutlifulncss and injus tice of the assertions from the same source, remarking that he proposed that to strip from one who could descend to such impudent as sumption, all his self-infallihilitv. lie de fended the Judiciary Committee.from all the imputations upon their action, and vindicated the patriotism of Gov. Walker who had been openly denounced in the Senate by Mr. Sum ner as a traitor. In regard to the recent election in Virginia, the assertion that it was a huge fraud was denied by the report of Gen. Canbv after a careful examination. The Sen ator from Massachusetts, had asserted and re peated this charge and said that it could not be denied even after an explicit refutation by more than one Senator. Such was the ef frontry to it which from day to day the Sen ate bad been subjected. In answer to the imputation upon bis own action, he quoted from the records of the Senate to show that the republican Senators had voted with but one-exception for the bill framed for tin- gov ernment of the rebel States, which conferred the right of suffrage on colored men through out the South, that exception was tin- Senator from Massachusetts, (Mr. Sumner.) upon tin passage of the bill to submit the loth amend ment to the States, the same thing was re peated that the Senator refused to vote for it for the same reason that governed his action in this case, which was that his own idea of the kind of legislation which was required has been blindly adopted by the rest of the repub lican Senators. If the Senator’s assurance and effrontery was such that lie could not re sist his indignation to assist others in- must gird his armour about him, lest it he stripped off and expose him to the American people as our impracticable obstacle in the way of leg islation. The Chair suggested that the personal ap plication of the word effrontery was not strict ly in accordance with the rules of parliamen tary order. Mr. Trumbull disclaimed a purpose to violate rules. After further debate the roll call was proceeded with on the passage of the hill, the result being yeas 47, nays 10. Before the announcement of the-vote Mr. Kelley, who Was occupying a seat next to that oi Mr. Sum ner, who was present without voting, asked for the reading of the 16th rule of the Senate which require Senators present to vote on tin call of yeas and nays unless especially ex cused. The rule was read hut no action was taken in the matter. The Chair gave notice that any manifesta tions of applause or disapproval by the galleries upon the announcement of tin- vote, would be a violation of the rules, and then declared tin result of the vote. On motionjof Mr. Sherman the currency bill was taken up ami laid over. The Senate then at 3. JO o’clock adjourned till Monday. House. A bill presented by Mr. Wash hurne of Mass., allowing $1)8,ties to S. Y. Sales of Killingsly, Conn., for satisfaction of army clothing contract, was taken up, pend ing its consideration tin- morning hour ex pired and the House went into Committee of the Whole. The intention of the House in going into Committee was to give Mr. Butler of Mans., an opportunity to make lii* speech in reply to T)awes, Inn Mr. Wilson wb* first entitled to the floor in Committee, and insisted on his right and declined to yield the floor to Mr. Butler or any other man, a change of programme which caused a good deal of laughter. Mr. Wilson then proceeedcd to address the Committee in the interests of agriculture. Mr. ElaofX. V., addressed the Committee at length in favor of a reduction of tariff du ties on all materials that enter into maunfae luring. Adjourned. FROM WASHINGTON. Washington. Jan. 21. During the entire proceedings of the Senate to-day on the Virginia bill, the doorways were filled with spectators, and hundreds of per sons weru unable to approach the Chamber within hearing distanuc. The crowds were as large and the interest seemed to be as great as during the Impeachment trial. The President to-day sent to the Senate the following nominations: Win. Cumbach of Ind., Minister resident at Porugal, vice Shellabarger resigned: S. Xadal of X. J.. Assistant Secretay of Lega tion at London, vice Badeau resigned. Farmers’ Convention. Lewiston, Jan. 21.

gailg Jttiuukc Jamal memobxes of the old kitchen. BY MBS. s. r. KNOW. Far back in my musing*, my thought* have been cast, To the cot where* the hour* of nn childhood were passed. I loved all its room*, to the pantry .'ml hall. But that blessed old kitchen was deal i than all. It* chair* and it* table, none bright.a mil i he For all its sorrow nding* were stirred to me. To the nail hi the ceiling, the latch or the door; And 1 loved every crack of that old kitchen-floor. 1 reinember the fireplace w 1th mouth high and wide, The old-fashioned oven that stood by it* side. Out of which, each Thanksgiving, came puddings and pies, That thirty bewildered ami dazzled our eyes; And then, too, Saint Nicholas, slyly and still. Came down, every Christinas, our stocking* to till; But the dearest of memories I’ve laid up in store, Is the mother that trod that old kitchen-floor. Day In and day out. from morning till night. Her footsteps were busy, her heart always light; For it seemed to me then that the knew not a care, The smile was so gentle her face used to wear. I remember with pleasure what joy filled our eyes When she told us the stories that children so prize; They were new every night, though we’d heard them before From her lip*, at the wheel, on the old kitchen-floor. I remember the w indow w here, morning*, I’d run, As soon a* the daybreak, to watch for the sun; And I thought, when my head scarcely reached to the sill, That it slept through the night, in the trees on the hill. And the small tract of ground that my eyes there could view Was all of the world that my fancy knew; Indeed, I cared not to know of it more. For a world in itself w as that old kitchen-floor. To-night those old visions come back at their will, Bat the wheel and its music forever are still; The band is moth-eaten, the wheel laid away, And the Angers that turned it lie inould’ring in clay The hearthstone, so sacred, is just as 'twns then, And the voices of children ring out then* again; The sun through the window looks hi as of yore, But it sees stranger feet on the old kitchen-floor. I ask not for honor, hut this I would crave— That when the lips speaking are closed in the grave, My children will gather theirs round at their side, And tell of the mother that long ago died: ’Twould be more enduring, far dearer to me, Than inscription on marble or granite could be, To have them tell often, as I did of yore. Of the mother that trod the old kitchen-floor. TOWARDS EVENING. Father, the shadow fall Along my way: Tin past the noon of day. My “westering sun” tells that the eve i* near: I know, but feel no fear. And loved ones have gone home— A holy band: I hear them call me from the spirit land— A gentle call. Yes, dear ones, I shall come. Oh, not alone! though now I lead the van. And with uncovered head Press on w here others led When my young life began. I am not left alone, Though they are gone: Sweet voices of the past, And of to-day— The loved, that round my way Still twine about my heart— Tell me how good thou art. O holy Light and Love! Beam on my soul, My inmost life control: Then may each pure thought spring; And peace, with gentle wing. Brood like the dove.

Read the Evidence. “Facts are stubborn things," and it is to facts alone that it is desired to direct the attention of the readers of this article. Many years df severe and thorough practical trial have demonstrated beyond the peradventure of a doubt tlie fact that the medicines prepared by me, ami known as SrilKNCK’B MANDRAKE PILLS, SCllKNCK’S 8KA WEED TONIC, and SCHENCK’S PULMONIC SYRI P, have proved extraordinarily successful in the cure of dis eases of the pulmonary organs, or what is usually termed Consumption. 1 ain fully aware that there are many persons whose prejudices rule them so completely that proofs strong as Holy Writ” would fail to convince them of the efficacy of my remedies, aud that there are others who, under no cir cumstances, could 1h* ]»revAlled upon to admit theirynertts, simply because such an admission would prove detrimental t-> their particular jtersonal interests. Fortunately for the welfare of mankind, these doubting jieople form a comparatively small portion of the cotnmn ity at large. They are to be found here and there, but, compared with the great mass of the world’s populating, their numl>ers are so small that 1 dismiss them, and ail dress myself to those who are willing to listeu to the dictates of reason, and who are disposed to rulinit the strong logic of well established facts. We are told almost daily that Consumption, the scourge of the American people, is incurable; that a man whose lungs are diseased must be giveu over to die that he must abandon hojie 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 unfrequently liarmful assertions, 1 should feci unwilling to take up the gage of battle against them but, fortified with results- facts—which neither theory nnr rnere assertion can overturn, 1 propose to prove that CON SUMPTION CAN HE CURED, and that the medicine* I prepare—THE MANDRAKE PILLS, SEAWEED TONIC, and PULMONIC SYRUP—will, if used iu strict accordance with the directions, in a majority of cases effect that which the faculty pronounces impossible—they will cure Con sumption. An ounce of solid fact is worth a pound of theory. Let me, therefore, present the facts connected with my own individual ex|»erience. Many years ago, I was a continued consumptive, and like thousands of other untortunates, was given up to die. Eminent physicians pronounced my case a hojteles* one, and told me that if I had any prepara tions to make for the final solemn event, that I had better make them speedily. I believed this just as confidently as did the jtersons who thus affectionately informed me that my days were numbered, ami that recovery was impossible. Still, the desire to live lingered in my bosom. I was 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 hope as long as a single vestige of it remained. I had full faith iu the sad information conveyed to me by my physicians, but still there was a lingering belief that some 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 period of my history that 1 first learned of the roots and herbs from which my remedies for this dreaded disease are now prepared. I procured and used them, and, to the utter amazement of all —physicians, friends and neighbors—began to improve. My entire system commence to undergo a complete renov ation. Kxjtectoration, 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 as 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 the racking and harrassing cough abated the fever broke the pain departed flesh planted itself on my sail I v wasted frame, and with flesh came strength anil full health. From a mere skeleton I became a stout, strong, robust man, and I have maintained both strength anti flesh to this day. I weigh two hundred and thirty five pounds; I am blest with an appetite vouchsafed to but lew men, while my digestive organs are amply equal to all the requirements of a healthful condition of my sys tem. Now, be it remembered, all these wonderful changes were wrought by the use of the medicines I prepare—MAN DRAKE HILLS, SEAWEED TONIC and PULMONIC SYRU F. A cure Beemingly 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 tlie wonderful restoration and had wrested me from the very jaws of death. Letters were received by scores impor tuning me to impart the secret ami inform the writers where the specifics for consumption could Ite obtained. Others, who were too weak loo travel, not satisfied with writing, sent for and consul toil me in regard to their cases. To all these applications I responded as I was able. 1 had fully regained my health, and gratitude for the happy result prompted me to turn my attention to the science of medicine, with the hope of thereby being able to be of service to my suffering fellow-creatures. I devoted myself closely to my studies, and more especially to that branch of them relating to the terrible disease from which I had suffered so long and so much. 1 investigated it in all its fearful phases, in order to assure myself that my case was not an exceptional one. The cloeer my investigations the more satisfactory were my conclusions. 1 felt con vinced tha* tens of thousands of my fellow-creatures were dying auuually from consumption whose cases were not as desperate and apparently hopeless as mine had been, and I argued from this that remedies which had proven so effective with me would prove equally so with others. I prepared my medicines iu a pleasant and attractive fprm, and announced them to the world. The results are well known. Thousands of suffering men, women and children, who were on the way to the grave, have deen cured, and are to-day living evidences of the fact that CONSUMPTION CAN HE CURED and I think I may say, without arro gating to myself any more than Is justly my due, that I have had as much experience in the treatment of consump tion as any other person in the couutry, and that ray suc cess has been wonderfully great. Let the reader remember that these are 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 been done may be done.” 1 have been completely cured of consump tion by the remedies I now offer to the public. Thousands of othej-s have testified to simila i happy results from their use, and thousands of others still m.rht be benefitted as I have been could they but be prevailed upon to try the vir tue of The Mandrake Pills,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.

Co u sumption. Dr. 9cH*!*rx’a Pulmoxic Strut for the cure of Coughs, j Colds aiul C«msumption. Dr. Schbxck’s Sbawrkd Toxif for the cure of Dyspep sia anti all the Debilitated Conditions of the Stomach. Dr. Schbscr’s Mandrake Fills for Diseases of the Liver, or to act as a gentle Purgative. I All of these three medicine* are often required in curing Consumption, though the Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many desperate cases. The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake j lMHs assist in regulating the Stomach and Liver, and help 1 the Pulmonic Syrup to digest and search through the bli»od vessels, by which means a cure is soon effected. These medicines are conscientiously offered to the public as the only safe, certain and reliable remedies for Pul monary Consumption, ami for all those morbid conditions of the body which lead to that fatal disease. Liver Com- I plaint and Dyspepsia are often forerunners of Cousuni|>- tion, and when they manifest themselves they require the i 1 most prompt attention. The Pulmonic 8yrup is a medicine which has had u long probation l*fure the public Its value has been proved by the thousands of cures It has made through a j»eriod of more than thirty-five 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. j If the ]*atient will perseveringly follow tbs directions which accompany each bottle, be will certainly be cored, if his lungs are not too much wasted to make a cure poasi ble. Even in cases supposed to be incurable, when friends and physicians have despaired, the use of this medicine has saved the life of the patient, and restored him to per l feet health. Dr. Schenck himself was aired in precisely such cir cumstances, and many others have been equally fortunate by judiciously making a timely use of Dr. Schenck’s remedies. j Dr. Schenck does not say that all cases of Pulmonary 1 Consumption are within the reach of medicine, but he emphatically asserts, that often when patients have the l mo«t alarming symptoms, such as a violent cough, creeping I chills, night sweats, and general debility, even to such a 1 degree that they are obliged to lie In bed, and when they j art* given up by their physician, they may still be cured. No medical treatment can create uew lungs, but when the lungs are very badly diseased, and to some extent de stroyed, a cure may be effected by I»r. Schenck’s med Also, iu Scrofulous diseases these medicines are equally eftickut. Dr. Schenck has photographs of a number of I arsons who have been nearly covered with running sores, and now all healed up. This shows its purifying probities, which must be done to heal cavities iu the lungs. i in the treatment of Consumption, it is of the utmost Importance to give vigor and a health tone to the system, i Hence it is necessary to streugthenthe 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 patients are designated in Dr. Schenck’s Almanacs, which are distributed gratuitously. 1 Iu 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, and for this purpose it was designed. When the digestive lowers are put In good order, the food has its proper effect, the system of the patient is In vigorated, and the lungs begin to exercise their functions t in a normal and healthy manner. Then the healing powers of the Pulmonic Syrup will complete the cure. Pulmonary Consumption is almost always complicated with Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. Schenck’s Man l drake Pills are intended to remove obstructions from the I liver and restore its healthy action. They have all the efficacy which is ascribed to calomel or “blue mas9, and are warranted not to coutain a particle of any mineral poison. These pills cure the most ebstinate oostiveness, sick headache, piles, bilious affections, and all ottierdiseases which arise from a torpid or obstructed co-dition of the liver. One box of these pills will prove the efficacy of the lll?!|1CConsumption, the Sea Weed Touic and Mandrake Pills are invaluable auxiliary medicines. They relieve the sufferings of the patient and assist the Pulmonic Syrup in effecting a cure. They have been found useful in ad vanced stages of Consumption, where the lungs were al most entirely destroyed, and all symptoms, ajxonilng to the Judgment of physicians, indicated speedy death. The i lives of patients who were actually in a dying condition I have been preserved for months by the use of Schenck’s I i three great remedies.
