Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune,
New York, Jan. 11.— After a dull, recitative
examination of jurors, tho real action of tho
Brooklyn scandal suit opened to-day with tho
address of ox-Judgo .Morris. Inasmuch as tho
prosecution had admitted during the argument
on tho bill of particulars that no testimony had
boon kept in reserve, and that tho evidence in
the trial 6r jury would bo tho same as in tho trial
by tbo newspapers, tho Intorost manifested in
tho opening appeal was not intense. It was, in
fact, a review of tho salient features of tho caso,
nnd, if tbo phraso “Wo will show" hod been
changed to “ Wo bavo shown," it would bavo
passed for a summing up. As tho case was
opened, thoro are to bo no surprises
for tho court room or jury during tho trial, so
far as tho prosecution is concerned. Tho al
leged confessions of Mr. Beecher and Mrs.
Tilton to 31r. Tilton, Mr. Moulton, and others;
correspondence of Mr. Beecher, letters of Mrs.
Tilton aud Mta. Morse; alleged clandestine cor
respondence between Mr. Bcochcr aud Mrs.
Tilton, which was quoted by Mr. Moulton in his
first statement, and circumstantial evidence of
guilt in tbo efforts which Mr. Beecher made for
concealment; the mortgaging of his house; (ho
payment of Bcssio-Turuer’s school-bill, etc., are
the main points of tho prosecution, and not one
of them has tho faiotost flavor of novelty. Tho
apology Intrusted to Mr. Moulton scorns to be
the pivot of Mr. Tilton’s case, around which
everything dee turns.
SCENES IN VUE COCtVt-UOOM.
For two hours before tho proceedings were
opened tho long corridors of tho Court-Houso
woro thronged, and tho services of a largo
number of police wove ceaulrod. Ticket-holders
alone wore admitted, and long before tho Judge’s
gavel hod been heard every scat was occupied.
Sir. Tilton and his group of counsel appeared
liromiitly at II o'clock, and woro soon followed
>y Sir. Beecher’s body of defenders. In a
moment every oyo was turned to tho door
way, as Sir, Beecher, accompanied by Airs.
Beecher, entered tho court-room to
gether. Friends near tho court-alloy shook
hands with Mr. Beecher with heartiness as ho
advanced. It was a small tnuinnh as such
tilings go, and there was a pleased expression on
his face when ho took his scat. A buzz of talk
followed their entrance, and comments wore ex
changed on the propriety of Airs. Beecher's pres
ence. If her critics, however, expected that
there wore to bo passages in tho opening ad
dress which would bo offensive to tho car, they
were doomed to disappoinimout, for the lan
guage was chaste and m good taste. Tho Jury
box was now full, and, after words of
caution to tho audience from tho bench,
and a few remarks by Mr. Evarts, the
pioccediogs opened. Ex-Judge Mortis began
bis address soon after 11 o’clock and closed at 4
o’clock, an hour.havmg been spent at lunch. Ho
is a man of medium height, with black hair and
side whiskers, ruddy face, keen glance, sympa
thetic smile, and an expression which is calm
without being cold. Ilia movements are easy and
Eracoful, his manner is cool and deliberate, and
is gestures are strong and full of force, being
made with full arm, in long curves.
JUDOS Mounts’ METHOD or WOUKINO UPON A
His delivery is rather monotonous, for there
are no changes of tone to vibrato through an
audience, lu (be upper register, his voice
has a metallic ring, ami is surcharged with forco
and earnestness. Whoa ho is speaking calmly,
without emotion, his tones sro clear and incisive.
Alter a few sentences, uttered in a grave, cau
tious manner, forceful gestures are made, and ho
breaks out with ringing tones of indignation
and accusation, which in a moment are muilled
and hushed to whieuera too low to bo hoard save
by the Jurymen. This method is repeated with
few variations, and the effect of these whispered
passages is very annoying to tho audience, how
ever they may impress tho Jury. After a quiet
narrative passage, bo sums up tho inference In a
passionate interrogation in high key, as. for
instance, “Who was tho transgressor?’’ Then,
after a long pause, comes tho reply Id a whisper,
*• Her forgiveness I have.” Tho repetition of
this method rendered bis delivery rather tedi
ous. His invective in regard to the letter to
Mrs. Tilton, in which Mr. Boccbor intimated
that meeting would bo safe, was marred by this
alternation of high tones and whispers. Hr.
Morris appreciated the fact that his business lay
wholly with the jury, and they wore rarely out
of hw sight. Ho stood a few foot in front
of them, with Mr. Tilton and Mr.
Bloulton directly behind him, and Sir.
and Mrs. Beecher facing him to his
loft. Occasionally, in framing an accusation, he
turned toward Mr. Becober with a sweep of the
left baud', and twice, when reference was made
to Hra. Bcecbcr, he cast a quick glance in her
direction. With those few exceptions his eyes
never loft tho Jurors, and they, in turn, followed
him with close attention. While there were few
passages of heated denunciation, there was much
keen, hard analysis. Probably the most effective
sentences were those in which be took to pieces
Mr. Beecher's apology and clandestine letter.
Tho expressions, “ I humble myself before you
as I do before God," “ Her forgiveness I
have," “ bearing the transgressions of
another," and many more, were held
before tbe lenaof his own interpretations until
their significance seemed to enlarge under such
searching analysis. Tho apology which was de
livered to Ur. Moulton In confidence was read m
a deep voice with great intensity of manner, as
if he wished tho words to sink deep in tho mem
ory of evoty juror, sod, when every expression
had boon analyzed, bo assumed au attitude of
triumph, aud, vobomoutly striking the table, de
clared that it was not necessary to go one atop
further, for that letter condemned Mr. Beecher,
unless the Loßlish language could be blotted
out. Mr. Moins apparently waa not in verv
good health when he began, but he warmed
to his work, and his delivery was much better
later lu the day.
ÜBS. BEECHER.
Probably the dosoat listener in the court
room was Mis. Beecher. Her eyes were fixed
on tbe speaker s face from first to last, as if
there was a magic spell in hw voice, her face
waa strangely colorless and impassive, aud her
self-possoßsioD was perfect. Her forehead is
high and abnormal, and is crowned with heir
which is as white os snow. Her features are
large, commanding, and positive, and her eyes
are keen and piercing. She was dressed in black
silk, with a blue woolen wrap. As she
sat there motionless, with a strange calm on her
features and a peculiar glitter in her eyes her
dignity seemed to assert itself, and to set at de
fiance critics who Judge that her right place
was not beside her husband in ins hour of
trial.
MB. BKECUGB
seemed to be as self-possessed os bis wife. At
first his eyes were directed toward the Jury-box
but soon they were staring vaguely at the tresl

casionally handed to Mr. Shearman.

The counsel on both sides employed them*

generally paying close attention to tuo speaker.

New York, Jan. 11.—The customary crowd
attended tho Tilton-lieecher trial to-day. The
fiiaintiir and defendant wore present. Homo de
ay was caused by tho absence of a juror, but.
upon his arrival, the case was at once opened
fof prosecution by ex-Judge Samuel D. Moms.
Mr. Jleccber entered tho court, accompanied
hv Mrs. Doechor and one of their sous. Mr.
Morris, lu his argument, said that tills was no
ordinary case,—no content between the
litigants to determine their right to projv
my, or oven to personal liberty. It was
a caso moro far-reaching in Its conse
quences than auy over before tried in
this country. There was not a house in this
broad land, nay, lu all Christendom, which was
not interested in its result. The homo, the mar
riage relation, and all that was dear In that re
lation, .was concerned In this case. The plaintiff
proposed, in the course of the trial, to produce,
as authority for tho charges, no loss a person
than tho defendant himself. ThoO ourt took
tho usual recess, Mr. Mortis to resume on re
assembling.
Judge Morris continued his argument up to
adjournment, lie will conclude to-morrow. Ho
fai ho has not attempted to speak on any new
nutter arising out of tho controversy, aud has
disclosed nothing but what has already been
published.
SONS OF THE COVENANT.
How to Celebrate (be Centennial—
Progress of Ihe Order.
Election of Ofliccrs.
Tbo Annual Convention of tbs District Grand
Lodge No. G of tho Independent Order of B’uai
B’ritb opened its second day’s session yesterday
morring at 0 o’clock at Covenant Hall, corner of
Lake aud LaSalle streets, with the Vico Presi
dent, Mr. J. Benjamin, of Quincy, in the chair,
nearly all tho delegates being present.
Hoveral unimportant communications were
read aud refected to the General Committee of
Five.
A motion was introduced that the password
should hereafter bo submitted to tba various
lodges in a koy, instead of Bending it legibly
written in a letter. Tho subject was debated at
considerable length, and finally referred to
tho Committee on Constitution.
THE CENTENNIAL.
Mr. A. Loeb introduced tbs following resold-
Vi'iiEnEAfl, Tbe project of the Centennial Committee
appointed by tbe Utl Constitution#! Convention in or
dering a marble alatuo representing the symbol of re
ligion* liberty la a good one; and
VYheukas, Tbo District Onmd Dodge, No. 6, la al
ways ready to promote objects having In view the ele
vation of Judaism and humanity; therefore, be it
JlmulteiJ, That the District Grand Lodge, No. 6.
now in session, approve the action of the Centennial
Committee, and request of the lodges in this district
their co-operation in IbU grand work,
Tno following resolutions woro submitted as a
substitute for tho foregoing t
/Ifitotvedf That it will be highly gratifying to na if
we aball learn that aoma wealthy corehgiooUt carry
out the Idea of celebrating the approaching “ Centen
nial " by erecting a statue symbolizing tho victory of
universal justice uni! universal mutual toleration over
bigotry and fanaticism.
JiuoLtcd, That wo cannot deem It Justifiable to call
upon our lodges to bear tho expenses of such a statue.
Most of the lodges, as such, and moat of the members,
are limited in their means, and other and more ur
gent and moro deserving causes appeal continually to
them, and those appeal* ought first to be heeded.
After a short debate, tho matter was referred
to a special committee consisting ot Messrs.
LaucUlom. Von Baaleu, Reichmau, Rosenbaum,
and Bauch,
snr.WAuivZß wants them.
The delegates from tho Milwaukee lodges sent
in a communication requesting that tho next
meeting of tho Grand Lodge bo hold at Milwau
kee. The communication was laid over until the
afternoon meeting.
Tho codification of the Constitution and Bv-
Laws wore then again considered, ana the debate
thereon took up tbe rent of tho morning session.
After having had n abort recess tho Conven
tion reassembled again at 3 o’clock p. m.j Presi
dent Adolph Moses in the chair.
The first thing considered was the request of
tho Milwaukee delegates to bold the next annu
al convention iu their city, and it was unani
mously decided to comply with their request.
Tho committee to whom was referred the
question of disposing of the reserved endow
ment fund recommended that all propositions
bo rejected. Tho report was concurred in.
ASSESSMENTS.
The question that the assessment of members
to pay the endowments to widows should be re
duced to 60 coats when the membership of
the district roaches 1,800, and to 60 cents when
it readies 2,000, was taken up. The present
amount of assessment is 75 cents.
Several eloquent speeches were made for and
against this proposition, aud the change was
finally decided upon.
The Committee on Appeals reported that but
one appeal came before them during the year.
THE CENTENNIAL AGAIN.
The Committee on tho Centennial Statue made
a report against the resolution introduced in the
morning, and recommended that a substitute bo
adopted, to the effect that, while the District
Grand Lodge No. G deema it inadvisable to con
tribute to the monument as an organization,
still tho individual members pledge themselves
to give the measure their earnest moral support.
Tho substitute of tho Committee was adopted.
It was stated that a largo number of lodges
bad, of their own accord, made liboialcollections
for tjie statue, and the money bad boon forward
ed to the Centennial Committee of Now York, so
that tho erection of the statue was insured.
COMMITTEE BKPOIITB.
The reports of various other committees wets
received and adopted.
The Committee on tho General State of tho
Order submitted a majority and a minority re
port. Tho majority report speaks very approv
ingly of tho state of the Order, and
takes a bright view of tho manner
in which its business is now carried
on. The minority report, which is
a very lengthy and able document, was prepared
by tho Rev. Dr. B. Fcleeullul, It takes strong
grounds ogaiusk ritualistic forms, and speaks of
the groat progress that has boon made in this re
spect during tbe past few roars. It refers with
contemptuous sarcasm to tho absurd manner of
wearing aprons like bakers, and horse-collars,
usually called rcqalis. Happily, tbe report says
those foolish appendages had been done away
with by many of the lodges, and others were pro
gressing in the same direction. There was no
necessity fur rmy regalia at. all, oven a
badge, or a pin in the lappol of the coat,
as was the custom lu some of tho progressive
lodges. At first there was also an outcry by the
conservatives when it was proposed to bold the
annual meetings and conventions with-open
doors. Btill the reform bod been made, and tho
Order bad gained more from making its proceed
ings public in one year than it would have ac
complished in ten years had tho sessions been
held secret.
A motion was made to bare the minority re
port accepted and printed.
A number spoke very indignantly about the
proposition to have this report prinked. It was
an insult to the members to say that they were
wearing horse-collars, as if they were horses or
Jackasses.
The report was finally laid on tho table, and
tbe majority report was adopted by a largo ma
jority.
A recess was then taken until7:3o o’clock. On
reassembling, ail tho reports for amending the
endowment aud by-laws aero adopted.
A vote of thanks was tendered to tbe press of
tho city for their attention shown to the Conven
tion, as evidenced by the extensive reports of
the proceedings.
AN ELECTION OF OPFICEBS
for the ensuing year was then hold, with the fob
lowing result:
Prttidtnt—lAvdt JUndakopf, of Milwaukee.

The new oßlcers were then publicly installed In
their respective odices by tbe retiring President,
Mr. Adolph Hoses.
Tbe Convention then adjourned sine die.
Capt. E. Q. Clark, of Northampton. Maes.,
who warned the people recently of the break in
the Ilaydauville dam (which did not happen to
work any serious injury), has bocn preseutud by
appreciative citizens with a leather medal in
memory of his vumeedod efforts. But It lit
foolish notion to make fun of wbal is In spirit a
heroic act.
THE CITY-HALL.
The Movement to Erect It in tbo
West Division.
Views of ihe West-Side Aldermen on
the Subject.
The Scheme Impracticable.
The West-Ride property-owners who agitated
tho project of erecting tho City-Hall in that part
of the city after tho groat firo, and abandoned it
for aomo reason, have recently, it is understood,
revived the scheme, aud petitions are now cir
culatiug to secure its indorsement. The argu
ment used Is substantially this: Tho North
Bide has the county buildings, tho Houth Bide
will have tho Court-House, and, therefore, the
West Bldo should have tbo City-Hall, which
could bo pat on the ground now occupied by
tbo Hcarmmm and High Schools. It la not known
whether those asked to sign tbo petitions do so
or refuse, nor can it bo ascertained bow many
have thus far attached their names, since no one
appealed to could give any information as to
who bad tho documents. All tboykuow was that
they wore circulating.
It will bo remembered that tCOO.OOO of tho
canal money received from the State was to be
devoted to erecting a City-Unit on
“ TUE OLD 81TB."
Should tbs building bo located in the West Di
vision not a dollar of this money could bo used,
and consequently the whole cost of the City-
Hall would have to bo raised by taxation.
For the purpose of learning what the West
Side Aldermen think of the project, a reporter
interviewed those who attended tho Council
last evening. All of them except one were
ignorant of the circulation of tbo petitions,—
believing that the matter bod boon buried,—and
were accordingly surprised wbeu told that the
scheme had boon resuscitated. They all ox-
pressed their views, some, however, more freely
than otheis, two or thioe being Inclined to main
taiu silence until they had given the subject
consideration.
ald. u’dqkald
thought tbo West Hide was entitled to the City-
Hall, having tho largest share of the population,
aud paying tho largoht proportion of taxes. Hu
was willing to forfeit tho eGuO.UOO if necessary.
ALU. woodman
deprecated the claims of Divisions; there should
bo no North Hide, or West Hide, or Huutii Side.
If the Council passed an ordinance locating tbo
building over the river, which bo believed they
would not do, the Mayor would veto it, and the
ordinance would die. Individually, ho did nob
favor the nebemo, and felt confident that the
people iu the Western part of the city did nob
want it. The building rightfully belonged whore
it was before the lire.
ALD, CLARK
said the West Division had throe-fifths of the
population, and should have the Citv-Hull in
their midst. The SOOO,OOO was not in tlio Treas
ury ; it had boon used for other funds ; and.
since tbo money was not available, ha did not
think it mattered much whether it was forfeited
or not, as it would have to ho raised again by
taxation. Tbo people of tho West Division, in
his opinion, would raise that amount by sub
scription if assured that the City-Hall would ho
located over there.
ALD. CCLLERTON
was opposed to a change of location. It was ut
torly useless to attempt to get tho Council to
pass an ordinance authorizing it, inasmuch as
the negotiations heretofore hold between the
city and county with refeionco to building joint
ly. had settled tho site for all time. The city
otliceta should be aa near tbo courts as possible,
and bo believed the agitation of tho subject vras
mere u buncombe.”
ALD. clow ny
had not thought about tbo matter at all. but
would vote against a change. v ‘Tho idea,” said
he. “ of putting tho City-Hall on the gcammon
School lot! A uico neighborhood that is. Wo
want the City-UaU in tbo midst of handsome
structures.”
ALD. O’ORIEX
looked npon tho project favorably, hut would
vote against it if a site had to bo purchased.
Tho West Bide had the Small-Pox Hospital, the
Bridewell, the County-Hospital, and several
other “ little public buildings,” and cerlaiulv
ought to have tbo Citv-Hall, on account of the
majority of tho people living within its limits.
ALD. BAILEV
was decidedly io favor of it. and would do all In
bis power to pass an ordinance if one waa nre
aonted. It would bo more centrally located than
If built cn Clark street, and more occceaiblo from
all parts of the city. Ho did nob believe the
SCtK),OOO would be forfeited by the change, Tbat
money was to bo used for the erection of a City-
Hall, tho location cutting no figuro whatever.
If, however, the money should be tied up by the
removal, it should bo given to tho School fund
or put out at interest, so tbat the taxpayers
wduld dative some benefit from It.
ALD. HEATH
had not given the subject much attention, hav
ing hoard nothing said in reference to it lately.
He, however, waa committed against the scheme,
lu view of Uia exertions to got the Legislature to
pass the clause that tbs City-Hall should be
built where it stood in ante-fire times.
ALP. WATIUSIAN
said, unless bettor reasons than be had yet beard
of were given for the removal, he would rote for
the* old sito.
ALP. CAMPBELL
remarked: Look ut the Council records just
after the Fire, wheu tbe matter of locating tbo
City-Hall on the West Hide was branched, ami
you cau find out where I stand. 1 am a Wc»t
sido man, hut voted that the SOOO,OOO be ect
aside tor the ro-oroctiou of the budding on the
site where the old one stood.
ALU. CASE
bad not thought enough about the project to
give an opinion. 'While it waa true the Weal
Bide had the largest population, he believed he
would vote against the change.
ALP.CLEVELAND
favored tbe removal because the building would
then be nearer the centre of the city; and ho
would he willing to forfeit the SOOO,OOO If the
City-Hail could not be put on tbe West Hide, fool
ing sure that the property-holders there hail suf
ficient interest in the scheme to pay that amount
to have tbo budding among them.
ALU. QUICK
would vote for the change if assured that the
SOOO,OOO could bo used; otherwise bis views
would bo the contrary. Hoisted and Madison
would bs a contra) point, especially for the West
Bide Aldermen. The Gounod would uot pass an
ordinance, if tbo money could not be expended,
and it was absurd to talk about it if such were
the case.
ALP. WHITE
thought it waa no more than light that the West
Bide should have the City-Hall. Tbo Court-
House Hquaro belonged to tbe Couuty, and tbe
Cuurt-Uouie alone should occupy it.
IXD. QDNUEUBON
had uot board of tho project, and would not ox*
press an opinion uutil ha had satisfied himself
which location was boat foe all tho people of the
City.
1U), HILDBBTU
believed the Interest of every one would be bet*
ter subserved hr building on the Comt-IJouso
Square, jointly with tho county. It was aa bon*
etfcial to the West Sido there aa to tho North or
South Bide; and any man on tho West Side who
thought otherwise forgot the iutoroets of the
whole city, and was controlled by a sectional
fooling which was unbecoming a citizen of Chi*
OftßO.
The South Side Aldermen are, of course, a
unit against any change of location, and those
who represent the North Division object to go
ing any further out of their way to reach the
Connell Chamber. Hence it would be impossible
to got an ordinance through authorizing the re
moval, and ibodirectly-iuiorosted property-own*
era who are said to be circulating the petitions
axe only wasting their time.
LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
oa» otmuuts.
Jo tho SdUor of Tht Vhicaoo Tnt>utu
Cuioaqo. Jan. 11.—In Sunday's issne of yonr
paper, I carefully read tho letters on the gas
question, also the report of the Superintendent
of the Works, which is Tory unsatisfactory and
indefinite in my case.* During the month of
November I burned twelve burners, which, ac*
cording to the Company's figuring, consumed
3,100 cubic feet, for which I paid $10.85. Not
believing that correct, during December I shut
off (entirely) tho use of four burners, and used
kerosene instead, believing my bill would he re
duced in consequence of less burners, and neces
sarily less gas. Not much I My bill for the
mouth of December was $15.10. having ecu
turned 4.100 coble feet. If Mr. Gas Company
can give mo a satisfactory explanation of tide.
he will bo doing myself and tho pnllic a great
favor. It is my belief, and also that of a groat
mans of people, that thcro waa nearly as much
money stolon as there wan gas paid for. 1
know of but one way to root out these thieves,
and that is for tho citizens of Chicago to use
kerosene, and then lot tho Oas Company go Hull
ing. r. r. ALLiißn.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune'.
Chicago, Jan. 11. —W*liUo everybody Is com
plaining of tho tyranny of the Oan Company, X
would like to give the ball a Kick to keep it roll
ing, if it will bo to any advantage, being only
one of tbe many thousands who arc crying out
against tbe outrages of tho Company that fur
nishes tho poor, faint, sickly stuff they call gas.
If we got anything like fair measurement for the
kind we do have, there would be more leniency
on the part of tho public, but tbe fewer burners
wo use tho more our bills are. Jlost of our fam
ily having gone off for tho holidays we have only
had occasion to uso (wo burners ibis month, and
our gas-bill (or December was more than when
wo burned twelve burners, and more than any
twomoutbs previously; and upon nnv remon
strance you are told to pay your bill or be with

WEST SIDE CONVTTANCE.S.
To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune,
Chicago, Jan. ll.—ls there no remedy where
by those living west of Western avenue can take
a conveyance for down-town without going to
Western avenue ? There are over 1,000 families
living west of Western avenue, and tbo only
means they havo of reaching their business is
to go to tho corner of Western avenue and Madi
son street. Why cannot tbe stages run at least
loCalifornia avenue, or up Harry Point rood three
orfour blocks further, to a thickly-settled neigh
borhood ? It certainly would help thclrpockcts,
besides being a very groat accommodation to a
largo number of the inhabitants. lam author

Special Dupateh to The Chicaao Tribune.
Denver, Col., Jon. 11.—-No passenger-train

way tiiiK-o Thursday night, and it is likely that
several days mar elapse before oiij will got in,
as a heavy snow-blockado exists on tbo Smoky*
Hill Division of tbo road. Three engines
and a snow-plow started out from
Wallace yesterday morning, but, by evening,
only 2 miles had been made through the heavy
drift of snow and Hand. Tbo blockaded division
comprises about 200 milos. with enormous emu,
tbat have been heavily filled up. An extra plow
and fifty shovclcrs were started out from
hero this morning, and half a dozen trams
filled with passengers destined both wavs
are hold over at catiup-Btatioiiß, It in fully a
week since any freight has reached this city over
the Kansas Pacific. The only passengers arriv
ing hers from the Dost are those by tbo Union
Pacific Road, and the Postmaster has ordered
that from to-morrow morning all mails shall bo
sent by this Imo until the blockade on the Kansas
Pacific ceases to exist.
The White County fill.) Hoard of Supervisors
have obtained considerable notoriety for what
they are pleased to cab a watchful care of the
county’s inlerents, but which outsiders teim
meanness. Their last exploit was cutting down
a bill for medicines furnished tbo paupers. The
Hoard went over tho hill, scanning it carefully,
and making a reduction of 50 per cent on each
item, until they came to tho lost charge, which
was for two boxes of eoidhtz powders. They
thought this was something to cat, and therefore
refused to make any allowance.

The** dsimedly celebrated tad popular medicine*
have efftettd a revolution In the heeling art, and provo l
the fallacy of several maxima which have lor mac? year*
obstructed the progress of medical science. Tbo false
supposition tbit “Cousnmplloo is Incurable" deterred
pUyslclani from attempting to find remedies fur that dis
ease, and patients aflllcled with it reconciled themselves
to death without making aa effort to escape from a doom
which they supposed to be unavoidable. It is doit proved,
however, that Curuumption ran be cured, and tbat it kai
been cured in a very treat cumber of cases (some of them
apparently desperate ones) hr Scbonck’s Pulmonic Syrup
