Whrre the Wages Go.
Why is it so many of the families of the
laboring men in our towns anil cities live in
such a poor, beggarly way, autl in so many
damp, dark basements, and up in such
close, contincd, rickettv old attics ? Many
of the heads of these families receive good
wages, and get their pav every week or
month regularly. But where, in too many
eases, do their wages go? Not to the
banker, the grocer, the butcher, the mer
chant: they go for strong drink, ale and
beer, which do not strengthen the physi
cal man. Franklin taught the printers ot
London that cold water was better than
ale; and cold water has lost none of its
virtues in a hundred and forty years.
The cost of tippling is in the aggregate
enormous. The inquiry 's often made, J
how are so many drinking houses sus
.taim'd? Let us see. Iwenty men, at .fO
cents a dav, will pay one of the "tippling
shops” £2,190 a year. A man who pays
;;0 cents a day lor “drinks,” pays Slot) 50
a year. This is the interest on £1.564 at 7
percent., at simple interest. This sum,
thirty cents a day, amounts,in ten years to j
eleven hundred and seventy-one dollars
and ninety-five cents. All this is wasted,
pa d otit for "an enemy that steals away a
man's brains,” aud robs him an ! his family
of every comfort. Intoxicating liquors give
neither strength to the body, vigor to the
mind, resolution to the will, elevation to
morals nor dignity to character. Strong
drink drags a man down from his high
estate, depraves all his appetites, and
leaves him in want and misery, the mere
wreck and semblance ot aman.
The constant use ol intoxicating liquor
makes hard times for many a man ; thus,
a family of live persons will consume four
barrels of flour a year, or one thousand
and liftv-six pounds of bread. This is
nearly three pounds a day. Good flour
can lie bought now [in New York] for $.
a barrel; four times seven make S-H: and
thirty cents a day for drinks is $109 50, or
$1 50 more per year than the bread for a
family of live persons costs. “But,” says
A.. “I only take two drinks a day." Very
we1, you pur then for vouV drinks $73 a
\ea ; "only $15 more than you pav for the
bread consumed by your whole family, if
it contains live persons. Ibis sum would
provide tea and coffee for them.
Here, then, we see that the man who
pays even twenty cents a day lor liquor
spends a sum sutlieieiit to supply his family
with bread, tea arid coffee lor the year.
Is it strange that times are hard—that men
complain of the government, and charge
that it oppresses them with onerous taxes?
The above figures show how men tax them
selves, and how they tax property, too.

CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED.
Head the K ride nee.
“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 of severe and thorough practical trial have
demonstrated beyond the perad venture of a doubt the fact
1 that the medicines prepared by me, and known as
tiCHKNCK’S MANDRAKE RILLS, SCIIKNCK’S SKA
| WEED TUNIC, and SCHENCK’S PULMONIC 8YRUP,
, have proved extraordinarily successful in the cure of dis
i sense* of the pulmonary organs, or what is usually termed
J Consumption.
1 am fully aware that there are many pet sons whose
1 prejudices rule them so completely that “ proois strong as
Holy Writ” would fail to convince them of the efficacy of
my remedies, and that there are others who, under no cir
cumstances, could be prevailed upon to admit their merits,
simply l>ecause such an admission would prove detrimental
to their particular personal interests.
Fortunately lor the welfare of mankind, these doubting
people form a coinparitively small portion of the cotnmu
ity at large. They are to be found here and there, but,
compared with the great mass of the world’s population,
i their numbers are so small that 1 dismiss them, and address
j myself to those who are willing to listen to the dictates of
reason, and who are disposed L> admit 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 given over to die ; that he must
abandon hope ; aud that the arrangement of his temporal
as well as spiritual affairs should claim his earliest atten
tion. If there were not huts as undeniable as that the sun
will shine in a clear heaven at midday to controvert these
random and not unlrequeutly harmful assertions, i should
feel unwilling to tike up the gage of bottle against them ;
but, fortified with results- facts—which neither theory nor
mere assertion can overturn, 1 propose to prove that CON
E’MRTION CAN BE CURED, and that the medicines l
prepare—THE MANDRAKE RILLS, SEAWEED TONIC,
aud Rl'LMONIC SYltUR—will, if usual in strict accordance
with the directions. In a majority of cases effect that which
the faculty pronounce* 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 experience. Many years ago, 1 was a confirmed
consumptive, and like thousands of other unfortunates,
was given up to die. Eminent physicians pronounced my
case a hopeless one, and told me that if I had any prepara
lions to make for the final solemn event, that 1 had better
make them speedily. I believed this just as confidently as
did the persons who thus affectionately informed me that
! my days were numbered, ami that recovery was impossible.
, Still, the desire to live lingered in my bosom. 1 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 ho|*e as long as a single vestige of it remained. I
! had •ull faith in the sail information conveyed to me by my
; physicians, but still there was a lingering l*eliet that soine
! thing could Ik* done, though 1 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 n»ot* and herbs from which my
I remedies for this dreaded disease are now prepared. 1
j procured and used them, and, to the utter amazement of all
—physicians, friends aud neighbors—began to Improve.
My eutire system commenced to undergo a complete renov
ation. Expectoration, 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 t..e
same time nutritious and wholesome. Expectoration be
came less copious and less offensive; exhausting night
sweats ceased ; the racking and harrassiug cough aim ted ;
the fever broke ; the pain departed ; flesh planted itself on
my sadly wasted frame, ami with flesh came strength and
' full health. From a mere skeletou I became a stout,
strong, robust man, ami I have maintained both strength
and flesh to this day. I weigh two hundred and thirty
five pounds; I ain blest with au appetite vwuchsafcd to
hut tew men, while my digestive organs are amply equal
to all the requirements of a healthful condition of my sys
tem.
I Now, be it remembered, all these wonderful changes were
{wrought by the use of the medicines I prepare—MAN
DRAKE PILLS, SEAWEED TONIC and PULMONIC
SYRl P. A cure seemingly so miraculous naturally created
astonishment in the minds of those who knew nfe. 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 and had wrested me from the
very jaws of death. Le tters 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 consulted me in regard to their case*. To all these
applications 1 responded as 1 was able.
I 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 <>f thorn relating to the terrible disease from which 1 j
had suffered so long and so much. I investigated it in all s
its fearful phases, in order to assure myself that my case !
was not an exceptional odft. The closer my investigations ;
the more satisfactory were my conclusions. I felt con !
vlnced that tens of thousands of my fellow-creatures were j
j dying annually from consumption whose cases were not as '
desperate and apparantly hopeless as mine h id been, and
1 I a-gued from this that remedies which had proven so
effective with me Would prove equally so with others. I
I prepared my medicines in a pleasant and attractive form,
and announced them to the world. The results are well
known. Thousands 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 CON'S! MPTION
CAN BE CURED*, and I think 1 may say, without arro
gating to myself any more than is justly my due, that I
have hail 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 are not mere fancied
statements. They are positive living farts, of which I am
the living evidence.
There is an old adage which say*. “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 others have testified to siruila j happy results from their
use. and thousands of others still m.ght l>e bene fitted 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 tocouviuce 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 derire to have their lungs examined.
For this pur]*1*** I am personally at my Principal Oppicb,
No. 15 North Sixth street, corner of Commerce, Evert

politics, and shows equal vigor in its literary de

ability this Review is fast rising to a level w ith its
competitors. It is the advocate of political and re

Liver, or to act as a gentle Purgutive.
All of these three medicines are often required in curing
Consumption, though the Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured
many desperate cases. The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills assist in regulating the Stomach and Liver, anti help
the Pulmonic Syrup to digest and search through the blood
vessels, by which means a cure i* soon effected.
These medicines arc- conscientiously offered to the public
as the only safe, certain and reliable remedies for Pul
monary Consumption, and for all those morbid conditions
of the body which lead to that fatal disease. Liver C«*m
plaiut and Dyspepsia are ofteu foreruuivrs of Consump
tion, anti when they manifest themselves they require the
most prompt attention.
The Pulmonic Syrup is a medicine which has bad a
long probation before the public Its value has l*<en
proved by the thousands of cures it has made through a
period of more than thirty-five years, in all of which time
its reputation has constantly increased, and the most oh.
stinate skepticism can no longer doubt that It is a remedy
which may be used with confidence in ail cases which
udmit of a cure.
If the patieut will perseveringly follow the directions
which accompany each bottle, he will certainly be cured,
if 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 despaired, the use of this medicine
has saved the life of the patient, and restored him to per
fect health
Dr. Schenck himself was cured in precisely such cir
cumstances, and many others have been equally fortunate
by judiciously making r 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
most alarming symptoms, such as a violent cough, creeping
chills, night sweats, ami 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 badly diseased, and to some extent de
stroyed, a cure may be effected by Dr. Schenck’s med
Also, in Scrofulous diseases these medicines are equally
efficient. Dr. Sc he nek has photograph* of a number of
persons who have been nearly covered with ruuuing sores,
and now all healed up. This *how» its purifying properties,
which must »>e done to heal cavities in the lungs.
In the treatment of Consumption, it is of the utmost
importance to give vigor ami a health tone to the system,
lienee 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 patients are designated in Dr.
Schenck’s Almanacs, which are distributed gratuitously.
In general, the most highly nutritious articles are to tie
preferred* hut the digestive organs must he 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.
W hen the digestive powers 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
in a normal and healthy manner. Then the healing powers
of the Pulmonic 8yrup will complete the cure.
Pulmonary Consumption is almost always complicated
with Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. Schenck's Man
drake Pills are intended to remove obstructions from the
liver and restore its healthy action. IThey have all the
efficacy which is ascribed to calomel or “blue mass,” and
are warranted not to contain a particle of any mineral
poison. These pills cure the most cbstlnate costiveness,
sick headache, piles, bilious affections, and all ntherdlseases
which arise from a torpid or obstructed co dition of the
liver. One box of these pills will prove the efficacy of the
medicine.
In Consumption, the Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills are Invaluable auxiliary medicines. They relieve the
suff. rings of the patient and assist the Pulmonic Syrup
i . effecting a cure. They have been found useful lu ad
vanced stages of Consumption, where the lungs were al
most entirely destroyed, and all symptoms, according to
the judgment of physicians, indicated speedy death. The
lives of patients who were actually in a dying condition
have been preserved for months by the use of Schenck’s
three great remedies.

various forme of disease, his mode of treatment, and general
directions how to use his medicine, can be had gratis or sent

The social and political principles which
the New York Evening Post has so long
and faithfully supported, it will continue
in the future to advocate. What these
principles are, our readers well know;
they may be summed up in few words:
National Unity, State Independence, and
Individual Freedom and Equality ot
Rights. The perpetuity and supremacy of
the Union, as the guaranty of our national
strength and glory ; the independence of
the States, in all their local affairs, as the
guaranty against an oppressive and dan
gerous centralization: the Freedom and
Equality of the Individual, without regard
to birth or accident, as the rightful end of
all government, and the surest means of
social development, personal happiness
and national progress.
These principles the Evening Post will
support and recommend to the people,
without regard to party associations. We
shall never support any party in its de
partures from them, and shall endeavor,
so far as our influence extends, to cause
them to be recognized by men of all par
ties.

As a newspaper, the Evening Post,
edited by WM. CULLEN BRYANT, as
sisted by an able corps of writers, will be
conducted with the same care which has
marked it hitherto, to exclude from all its
columns, those devoted to advertisements
as well as its reading columns, everything
which would offend against morality and
correct taste. It shall be the care of its
proprietors to see that all its departments
are conducted with the utmost ability
which a liberal expenditure ol money and
unflagging industry can command. Its
editorial discussions will be unpartisnn,
and devoted to the elucidation and ad
vancement of sound principles; its literary
criticisms shall be impartial, and as able
as we can make them ; its foreign corres
pondence, which has been greatly im
proved during the past year, will during
the present year be more varied and inter
esting than ever before; its home corres
pondence also, and especially that from
such central points of interest as Washing
ton and Albany, will be full and accurate.
Its financial and commercial reports,
which have made the paper a necessity t->
business men in all parts of the country,
shall be made with the same vigilance
accuracy and impartiality which now
characterize them. Its agricultural, ship
ping, market and other reports shall be at
trustworthy and complete as industry an d
the expenditure of money ran make them.
In short, we mean our journal to be so
conducted that it shall be read with inter
est and benefit by all the members ol the
family; and as it is one of
THE OLDEST
j it shall also be one of the best newspapers
I published in America.
