more generous consideration than here?
tofore.

SUDDEN DEATHS.-The readers oT
newspapers cannot have failed to be im?
pressed with tho remarkable frequency
of sudden deaths within the hist ten
days, aud reaching to every section of
tho country. So great has been their
number thut tbe fatality seems almost to
have assumed thc form of an epidemic.
Some remarkable coincidences have also
occurred in connection with the startling j
events. Ono day tho telegraph announces .
tho suddeu death of the French Profess?
or at West Point, aud the next day we
have accounts of the death iu like man?
ner of au old and distinguished French
Professor in New Orleans. One day we
hear of the death of Steinway, the cele?
brated piano manufacturer of New York,
and tho next brings us tidings of the
sudden demise of his great rival, Clink?
ering, of Boston. Coming nearer home,
a well known and popular railroad con
dactor expired suddenly at bis residence
in his city, and another of the same call
iug and in like esteem was found dead
on the same day and about the same
hour in Macon. Such events coming to?
gether are certainly most remarkable.
[Savannah Republican.
The proceedings in the impeachment
trial of Governor Holden, of North Ca?
rolina, are growing interesting, aud the
charges against him are being fully
proven. Holden was charged with hav
iug recruited and armed a body of men
contrary to tho laws of the State, which
be denied, averriug that such armed
men were only the regular militia called
into active service, according to law.
The muster-rolls, however, and the tes?
timony of Teuuesseeaus, show that Kirk,
Bergen, Yates and others, the chief o.
ficers of the "militia." were all citizens
and residents of the County of Washing?
ton, in tho State of Tennessee, and weie
men notorious for their cruel, brutal and
merciless character, and that 870,000 of
the State funds were paid over to these
merciless plunderers. But for the time?
ly interference of a Federal Judge, their
prisoners would have been court-mar?
tialed and executed. The Chief Justice,
though a Radical himself, is presiding
with strict impartiality, and in his rul?
ings gives general satisfaction.
OUT OF THE JAWS OF DEATH.-A re- j
markable case of lockjaw was related to
us recently. A gentleman of this city
Lad his jaws continuously locked for
nineteen days, and nt intervals for thir?
teen. During the time when thc disease
was at its worst the sufferer could not
eat anything nor sleep in the least.
During the thirty-two days' siege he
drank as many quarts of liquor to stimu?
late him. The same man has been visit?
ed by cholera and yellow fever. The
physicians who attended bim while he
had lockjaw pronounce his recovery the
most remarkable ever coming under
their observation.-Harrisburg Patriot.
Social gossip in London asserts that I
tho Duke of Edinburgh, (Princo Alfred,) !
tho Queen's second son, is to marry a
plcbean but rich daughter of a London
banker. Tho girl bas no blood in ber
veins, but ber father has $25,000,000 to
give her.
At tho burning of tho Adelphi Theatre
in Boston, on the 14th instant, the water
f rn m tbe engines frszs before tbs stream
reached the top of tho building.
Tho Spaniards claim that the insur?
gents have inflicted dumago in Cuba
amounting to $200,000,000.
73,000 horses were slaughtered and
eaten in Paris during tho siege.

sued to restore a tolerably bad caso of diseased
lungs to healthy soundness. The first and

avoid taking cold, and tho best of all places
on this continent for this purpose in winter,
is Florida, well down in the State, where the
temperature is regular, and not subject to
such variations as in more Northern latitudes.
Palatka is a point I can recommend. A good

localed there. I should glvo a decided pre?
ference to Mollouvillo. It is two miles from
river or lake, and it seems almost impossible
to take cold there. Tho tables in Florida
might bo botter, and patients complain at
times, but that is a good sign, as it iudicates
i a return of appetite, and when thia is tho caso
t hey generally increase in flesh, and then tho
lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Gove, and
many other places in various parts of Florida,
can bo safely recommended to consumptives
in wintor. My reasons for saying so aro that
' patients aro loss liablo to take cold thero than
whore there is a loss ovon temperature, and it
is not necessary to say that where a consump?
tive person oxposcs himself to frequont colds,
i ho is certain to dio shortly. Therefore, my
' advice is, go well down into tho State, out ol \
thc reach of prevailing East winda aud fogs.
Jacksonville, or almost any other of tho lo?
calities I have named, will benefit those who
aro troubled with a torpid liver, a disordered
stomach, deranged bowols, sore throat or
cough, but for those whoso lungB aro diseased
a more Southern point is earnestly recom?
mended.
For tilteen years prior to 18C9,1 was profes?
sionally in New York, boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia every week, where I saw and ex?
amined ou an average fivo hundred patients a
week. A practico so extensive, embracing
every possible phase of lung disease, bas ena
bledmo to understand tho disease fully, aud
hence my caution in regard to taking cold. A
person may take vast quantities of "Schcuck's
Puhuonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Man
I drako Pills." and yet die if he does not avoid
takiug cold.
lu Florida, nearly everybody is uoiug
Schcuck's Mandrako Pills, ior thc climate is
more likely to produce bilious habits than
more Northern latitudes. It is a well estab?
lished fact that natives of Florida rarely die
of consumption, especially thosoofthe South?
ern part. On thc other "hand, in New Eng?
land, one-third, at least, of thc population
die ot thia terrible disease. In tho Muidle
States it does not prevail so largely, still
there aro many thousands of cases there.
What a vast per centage of lifo would be saved
if consumptives were us easily alarmed in re?
gard to taking fresh cold as they arc about
scarlet fever, small-pox, dec. But they are
not. They take what they terni a little*cold,
which they are credulous enough to believe
will wear off in a fow days. They pay no at
I tention to it, and hence it lays the foundation
for another and another still, until the lungs
are diseased beyond all hope for cure.
My advice to persons whose lungs are
affected even slightly is, to lay in a stock of
Schcuck's Pulmouic Syrup, Seheuck's Seaweed
Tonic and Schcuck's Mandrake Pills and go
to Florida. I recommend these particular
medicinen because I am thoroughly acquaint?
ed with their action. I know that where they
aroused in strict accordance with my direc?
tions, they will do the work that is required.
This accomplished, nature will do the rest.
The physician who prescribes for cold, cough
or night-sweats, and then advises the patient
to walk or ride out every day, will be sure to
have a corpse on bis hands before long.
My plan is to givo my t lin e medicines, in
accordance with the printed directions, ex?
cept in some oases where a freer uso of tho
Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object is to
give tone to tho stomach-to get up a good
appetite. It is always a good sign when a
patient begins to grow hungry. I have hopes
of such. With a relish for food and thc
gratification of that relish conies good blood,
aud with it more llosh, which is closely fol
lowod by a healing of thc lunge. Then tho
cough loosens and abates, thc creeping chills
and clammy night-sweats no longer prostrate
and aunoy, and the patient gets well, provid?
ed he avoids taking cold.
Now there arc many consumptives who have
not the means to go to Florida. Thc question
may bo asked, is thero no hope lor such?
Certainly there is. My advice to such is, and
ever has been, to stay in a warm room during
tho winter, with a temperature of about
seventy degrees, which should be kept
regularly ut that point, by means of a ther?
mometer. Let such a patient take his ex?
ercise within tho limits of tho room by walk?
ing up and down as much as his strength wiil
permit, in order to keep up a healthy circula?
tion of the blood. I navo cured thousands
by this system, and can do so again. Con
bumption is as easily cured as any other
disease, if taken in time, and the proper kind
of treatment is pursued. The fact stands
undisputed on record that Schcuck's Pulmo?
uic Syrup, Mandrake Fills, and Seaweed Tonic
have cured very many of what seemed tt. be
hopeless cases of consumption. Go where
you will, you will bo almost certain to hud
some poor consumptive who baa been rescued
hom thc very jaws of death by their use.
So Inr as the Mandrako Pills are concerned,
everybody should kee)) a supply of them on
hand. They act on tho liver better than calo?
mel, and leavo none of ita hurtful effects be?
hind. In fact, they aro excellent in all cases
where a purgative" medicine is required, ll
you have partaken too freely of fruit and
diarrhu a ensues, a dose of the Mandrakes
will cure you. If you aro subject to sick
headache,take a dose of the Mandrakes and
they will relieve you in two hours. If you
would obviate tho effect of a change of water,
or tho too freo indulgence in fruit, take
oue of thc Mandrakes every night or every
othor night, and you may then drink water
and cat watermelons, pears, apples, plums,
peaches or corn, without the risk of being sick
by them. They will protect those who live in
damp situations against chills and fevers.
Try thom. They are porfectly harmless.
They can do yon good onfv.
1 liavo abandoned my professional visits to
Boston ahd Now York, but continue to see
patients at my office, No. 16 N. SIXTH street,
Philadelphia, ovory Saturday, from 9 A. M. to
3 P. M. Those who wish a thorough exami?
nation with the Rcspirometor will bo charged
live dollars. Tho Bcspirometer declares the
exact condition of tho lung's, and patienta can
readily learn whether they aro curablo or not.
But I desire it distinctly understood that tho
valuo of my medicines depends entiroly upon
their being taken strictly according to direc?
tions.
In conclusion, I will say that when persons
take my mediciuos and their systems are
brought into r. healthy condition thoroby,
they are not so liablo to tako cold, yet no one
with diseased lungB can bear a sudden chango
of atmosphere without tho liability of greater
or less irritation of tho bronchial tubes.
Full directions in all languages accompany
my medicines, so explicit and clear that any one
can use thom without consulting mc, and can
bo bought from any druggist.

ll is more liberal than any Corny any tn this,
that all policios are non-forfeilable after the

fraud, or attempted fraud,) can destroy its
aurreuder value.
Ita affairs, in every respect, are managed,
with the greateat prudence and economy.
Nearly $00,000 received during its iirat fisaai
year, (11th November,) and only $2,000 paid
out ou "death claims," in the same time-.
being leas than fonr per cent of same, and
lesa than SI to each $6,000 at risk.
Such management gives much better assu?

companies not so conducting their business,
no matter how large the amount of their
business or assets.
By assuring in this Company your premi
