Appropriations for Our One-Horse Navy and Horse Marines—The Rawlins Statuc—A Suggestion—Rogerski’s Murder— A Capital Dogberry. Wasnixaton, Dec. 27, 1872, Fhe Contest for the Speakership—Blaine’s Hopes. Mr. Wheeler, of New York, has been heard from. He has assured Speaker Biaine that he will not be @ candidate for the Speakership under any consid- eration. The New England Representatives will revive Maynard’s speech on Northern benevolent Anstitutions, delivered in the House a year or two ‘before the war, which, it is believed, will settle his chance for the Speakership. Freeman Clarke has wot more than half a dozen supporters, and has mot the slightest hope now of defeating Blaine, who, it appears, has been quietly strengthening his purpose to remain in the Speaker's chair. Batier Threatening to Let the Cat Out ef the Mobilicr Bag. General Butler and Blaine have become friends again—through sympathy im the Crédit Mobilier scandal. The General is trying to develop some ‘starting facts. His challenge to the committee that if they desire the whole matter fully under- stood he will undertake the business is regarded by several members of the House now in Washing- ton asa hint that he can enlighten the country if the opportunity 1s offered him, and that he can a tale unfold which will test the stolidity of seme of tne parties implicated, . Appropriations for the Navy—Compound Engines in Favor. The House Appropriations Committee met to-day and went to work on the Naval bill introduced by Mr. Hale, from Maine. There were only four mem- bers of the committee present. The proposed ap- propriation of $750,000 for five compound engines was approved by the committee. They will prob- ably be constructed in New York and Philadelphia. At is the opinion of Mr. Hale that im the course of Aime all the old engines of our steam war vessels will be substituted by the new compound system. Fhe Appropriations Committee will meet again te- morrow to finish the Naval pill. There remains ‘Dow only to be considered the proposed appropria- tion of $700,000 for the maintenance and subsist- tnce of the Marine corps, comprising 2,000 men, 100 aMficers.and about flity horses. The latter necessi- tate an item for forage, which proves after all that there exists such a nondescript “horse marine.” Serious Illness of Senator Sumner. Senator Sumner's health is calculated to inspire Bpprehensions, He suffers greatly from nervous prostration and is under constant medical treat- ment, being visited twice a day by his physician. le abstains for the present from politics, devoting ‘nly an hour or 80 every day to the reading of his favorite authers, Programme of the President's New Year's Reception. ‘The programme for the reception at the Execu- tive Mansion on New Year's Day was announced to-day. It preserves the same order as observed ap years past. Bre 10 be received at eleven o'clock, Judges of the Supreme Court, Senators and Representatives, Gov- ernor of the District and suite, Judges of the Dis- trict Supreme Court, and of the Court of Claims at talf-past eleven; and at noon the officers of the Army aud Navy in full uniform. Between twelve and one the bureau officials, soldiers of the war of 4812, Oldest Inbabitants’ Association; and at one »’clock the doors will be opened to the public gen- erally, the reception ending at two o'clock. The members of the Cabinet will all receive, and the Bouses of the leading citizens of the District will ‘be open to their friends. How far the exhilarating effects of wine and egg nog will be dispensed with remains to be seen. The clergy of the District will exhort their congregations on Sunday next not to sllow their New Year's visitora to be tempted vy the ardent. Civic Troops for the Inaugural Cere- monies ‘The Albany Burgess Corpe will take part in tho inaugural ceremonies on the 4th of March next. Philadeiphia and Baltimore military organizations have also signified their intention of taking part ‘on that occasion. The trouble appears te be that, as Washington has now a military corps of its own, it will be the duty of the organization todo the honors—an expense which the members are not able to bear. The Rawlins Statuc=A Too Practical Suggestion. The attempt to secure the competition of our dest sculptors for the proposed statue of General Rawlins utterly failed. Whether none of them could see how the statue of a general in the army could be wo devised as to make it the “centre piece of a foun- tain in Franklin square,” or whether they hesi tated about coming In competition with Dr. Stone, the Mills family and Vinnie Ream, or whether they @id not regard General Babcock, Commissioner o1 Public Buildings; Spofford, the Congressional Li- brarian, and Clark, the architect of the Capitol, as suitable judges, is not known; but no artist of recognized fame did present a model, and those which were submitted to the commission to-day at the White House were stiff, ungainly affairs, A de- cision had to be made, however, and the award wi 4n favor of the model submitted by J. A. Bailley, of Philadelphia. It represents the lamented Rawlins 4m a general’s uniform, with a Grant army hat and -@ ponderous dragoon's sword, The unsuccesstul candidates were Fisk Mills, Charles Ostler and Horatio Stone, of this district; B, M. Pickett and Charles Drischier, of New York, and H. D. A. Hen- wing, of Baltimore. Vinnie Ream did not compete, | Wut she hopes to receive the order for the statue of Farragut, for which there will be competition in February. It was suggested at the meeting of the commission to-day that, if the Rawlins statue must grace the centre of & fountain, he should be represented in a rubber suit, holdiag an umbrella over bis bead with his right Wand and havinga weather report in his left hand. The Murderer of Rogerski—Misplaced Politeness of a Local Dogberry. In the Police Court to-day Thomas Wright, the alleged murderer of Rogerski, the Polish pedier, was fully committed to await the action of the Grand Jury. The prisoner is about thirty years old, and has the character of arufiap stamped in his face, He is over six feet in height, very mua- cular, black as jet, with a physiognomy of the low- eat order. Heappeared wholly unconcerned in the court room, and sat in the dock as quietly as a ual spectator. The Judge showed his respect pe: distinguished prisoner by addressing him, s ; Wight, stand up,” instead of “Prisoner, R istrict Attorne: ‘y thought the Judge would apalaze for being obliged to arraign him, ore he y e Judicial modesty. It was at Se ae ed his victim bad but re- Sently arrived IB inis country, Ib now | The Cavinet and foreign Ministers | appears that Rogerski had long been a& resident of Washington, but returned to his family Be’ or eight months ago for the purpose of bringing them to this country, He was esteemed a8 a devout Israelite, adhering to the orthodox portion of the Jewish people when a division took place in the synagogue congregation in this city. His ambition was to get money suMicient to have his family with him, and he labored hard to attain the means. On Sunday a mass meeting of Israelites will be held to raise a fund for the relief of the widow and four children, Reported Recall of the Italfan Minister. Itig reported that Count Corti, the Italian Minis- ter at Washington, is to be recalled. A number of prominent Itditan residents in this country have complained to their governmient of his alleged un- fitness to represent modern Italia. This is sup- posed to be the foundation for the rumor, although a letter has been received from the Minister for Foreign Affairs to the effect that the complaints will receive due attention. Count Corti was a Dominican monk before he entered the diplomatic service, His recall would cause a vacancy in the British-American Claims Commission, which, under the Treaty of Washington, the Italian government is empowered to fill, Resignation of Commissioner Walker. General Francis A, Walker has tendered to the President, through 'the Acting Secretary of the Interior, his resignation as Commissioner of Indian Affairs, to take effect on the ist of January next. It is understood his resignation has been accepted, but his successor will not be appointed until after the return of Secretary Delano from Cuba, Quartermaster Gencral Meigs Out in the Cold. Quartermaster General Meigs is short on his stove money, and he will appeal te Congress aiter the recess to give him $100,000 wherewitif to pay up eutstanding accounts for stoves, and another $100,000 to buy mere stoves with. He says that the army now burns about 120,000 cords of wood and 28,000 tons of coal per annum, and that nearly all of this 1s consumed in stoves for heating or for cooking, But Auditor Rutherford holds that as Congress only appropriated $10,000 last year for stoves, the additional bills cannot be paid out of the appropriation for general supplies. So Meigs must ask Congress for more stove money. Sandwich Islands. The United States war steamer California has sailed for Honolulu from San Francisco to be pres- ent in case of any possible emergency arising on the question of succession to the throne, in which protection to American citizens might be required, Treasury Balances. The Treasury balances at the elose of business to-day were :— + $4,912,808 + 71,746,614 20,970,000 + 28,385,000 Certificates of deposit of United State: notes... . THE LODGE OF SORROW. A Singular Ceremony Last Night—Memorial.ser- vice forthe Dead—Music, Flowers and Fire as Emblems—‘‘The Thirty-third Degree.” A singular and very beautiful ceremony took place last night at Irving Hall, being the opening of a Lodge of Sorrow under the auspices of the An- cient and Accepted Rite of Masonry of New York and Brooklyn. Most of the officiating brethren ranked in the thirty-third degree of Masonry, and @ large and very seiect audience of ladies and gen- tlemen, invited guests, occupied all the space in the hall not devoted to the ceremonial, The gal- lery of the hall was heavily draped in mourning, and at intervals on the walls were suspended em- blematic banners in crimson and gold. In the centre of the floor was erected a cata- falque, upen the upper tier of which was placed a coffin, The catafalque was wreathed with acacia sprays and laurel, cypress and other plants were placed at the corners of the dais, at the foot of pillars bearing candelabra. At the further end of the hall was a platform, having on it a table with anopen Bible, sceptre and other tools used in WORKING THE THIRTY-SECOND DEGREE, Between the foot of the platform and the cata- falque were five large Gothic chairs, and still nearer to the catafalque were a table, bearing shew bread and wine, and a horned altar. An orchestra of sixty pieces, under the leadership of Brother orang and a chorus of some thirty voices furnished the music. Pre- cisely at eight o'clock the doors were closed, and the oficers of the Lodge, consisting of ©, ‘I. McClenachan, Thirty-third degree; Wilson Small, | Thirty-third degree; John W. Simons, Thirty-third ee; . V. Alexander, Thirty-third degree; George'A. Barney, Thirty-third degree; C. Roome, Thirty-third degree, and C. B. Conant, Thirty-third degree, entered and ascended the platform, the orchestra playing a march from ‘“Atalie.”’ After some remarks by Brotber McClenachan tin refer- ence to the object of the Lodge, the chorus gave a chant, “Put Us Not to Rebuke.” The Lodge was then opened in ample form. A basso solo, “O Weep Not, Mourn Not,’ was sung by J. G. Lumbard, and the orator of the evening, Past Grand Master John W. Simons, was iatroduced, and made AN APPROPRIATE ADDRESS, touching the beauties of the philosophy of death and the resurrection. Brother W. H. Davis then sung 8 basso solo, ‘Truth Dawns Upon the Human Soul,” with obw obligato. While the solo was being rendered four brethren dressed in white, with red sashes and blue chaplets, entered, carry- ing baskets of flowers. They approached the steps of the catafalque and knelt with heads bowed on the coffin, then arose and strewed flowers on the casket and bier. They then made obeisance and retired, and ata signal froma gong the lights in the hall were extinguished, the orchestra striking up ® march—Tenebre. The funeral pro- cession then slowly and with well-timed steps en- tered the hall, and was composed of twenty torch- bearers dressed in white, with crimson sashes and silver-plated fromtiets. These marched two abreast and were preceded by the lieutenants ef the cap- tain of the guard, attired in black, with frontiets, crimson sash and apron and reversed swords, THE PROCESSION marched around the catafalque, and on reaching the foot of the casket marched between the altar and the shewbread. The col- umn then separated inte single file, passed down on each side of the catafalyue and countermarching to the right and left formed, standing om each side of the coffin, Next came a second procession ef twenty, bearing torches and preceded be a@ priest, twe prelates and two as- sistant prelates, the captain of the guard and six mourners or bearers, and an acolyte, with a swinging censor of incense. These marched about | the catafalque as the former company had done and halted, so that the white and black costumed torchbearers alternated, and the priest and pre- lates were at their places near the chairs at the foot of the platiorm, THE CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD at a marble pillar near the priest's chair, and his Meutenants at the fanks of the columus of torch- ‘WHEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1872 A SNOW FIGHT. Our Athens Excited Again—Lovers of Sleighing ant the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Fighting the Railroad Com- panies for Removing the Snow—Scenes and Stampedes in the Streets, Boston, Dec. 27, 1872, The great snow-storm has subsided, and the biockade is literally over with all tae trains on the various railroads started on their outward and in- ward trips this morning, and to-night they are Tunning on their usual time. The horse cars are also making occasional trips, much to the gratifica- tion of suburban residents who were subjected to an involuntary sojourn in the city last night. About fourteen inches of snow fell altogether, and the streets are, therefore, in anything but a de- sirable condition, either for pedestrians or vehicles, A ROW WITH THE SNOW PLOUGHERS, ‘This afternoon Manover street presented a lively aspect, a large crowd being collected there to wit- ness an altercation between the agents of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the public in general, and the Metropolitan Horse Railroad Company, as represented by their agents and @ couple of snow-ploughs, The snow, it seems, had drifted badly nearly the whole length of Hano- ver street, and the company, desiring to accommo- date those of the public wishing to go to the fer- ries, put a plough drawn by four horses to clear the track. To this the residents on the street strongly objected, A shovel brigade was at once organized and the snow was thrown back again, and the lookers-on in Venice cheer- ing on the workers. second plough was now put on by the company, and tnen Mr. Currier, agent for the Society, appeared on the scene, and requested that the horses be un- harnessed, as it was positive cruelty to work them against such odds, the snow laying about a foot deep on the track. After some considerable talk the horses were taken out and the crowd dis- persed, the plough being left on the side of the strec NOT TO BE BEATEN. From some reason the horses were afterward returned to the snow-ploughs, and the ploughs were hauled over the track from Scollay square to be- low the American House over and over again, in an endeavor to clear the tracks for the passage of the horse cars. Although six were horses harnessed to each plough, the work was very hard, and the poor beasts showed signs of over-exertion painful to witness, The immense and constantly increasing crowds of men and boys which thronged the street occupied themselves in giving forth terrific yells, which served to distract and frighten the animals. It be- came necessary that @ man should hold each horse a the bridle in order to keep them in the right ine. DRIVERS OF SLEIGHS also obstructed the plans all they could by Stiving transversely across the path of the horses anc clogging the way by blockade wherever it was possible. One man, named William Hazell, was arrested by the police for participating in this style of blockading. Every window or prominent place for sight-seeing became filled with interested lookers on. SLEIGHING PARTIES AGAIN TO THE FRONT. At about half-past twelve o'clock a new eddy of excitement called the major portion of the crowd to the vicinity ot the junction of Court and Sud- bury streets, and here was a demonstration ex- ceeding the first in size. Court street Is very nar- row at this point, and the snow cleared from the tracks by the plows was thrown rather closer to the sidewalks than the occupants of the stores there desired. The police were powerless to dis- Perse the crowd and very wisely took the affair as quietly as they could. The Metropolitan employ acting under orders from the officers of the roa continued to pull their ploughs through the street, and ‘once .in & while a solitary car would be able to follow; but the crowd evidently did not sympathize with the owners of the line, and by their concerted action managed to make the exertionsof the rail- Toad men of little avail. As fast as a plough cleayed the snow partially from the track a thousand boys and men went whopping after it, treading the snow back into the track again. Each new pont uate hatled with yells which nearly made the horses wild, A GENERAL STAMPEDE, One string of six horses, harnessed two abreast, came down to bring up a plough, and on enAounter- ing the screaming crowd plunged frantically about, and, coming down suddenly on their tormentors, drove “em in a body around into Sudbury street, demolishing in their way part of the glass show windows of the corner store. It became evident that unless some action was taken the authort- ties the cars would not be able to make their trips, SNOW AND ICE. The Snow Storm Almost General Throughout the Country—The Blockade in Cities and on the Principal Railroad Routes. Canada. Toronto, Canada, Dec. 27, 1872, The snow storm which prevailed throughout Canada since Tuesday night ceased this morning. ‘The trains on the different lines of railway are again running regularly and on time, The Snow Storm Down East. Avavsta, Me,, Dec. 27—2 A. M. A severe snow storm, accompanied by a heavy northeast wind, commenced here at six o'clock last night and continues with no signs of abating. The Pullman train from Bangor, due here at ten o'clock, is at Pittsfield with a broken engine, Eight Inches of Snow at Concord, N. H. Coxcorn, Dec, 27, 1871. About eight inches of snow fell here last night. The train due here at twenty minutes past eight last night from Boston rived at twenty minutes past four this morning. No trains were despatched over the Northern road after beh ot four o'clock yester- day aiterneon. The St. Albans night express train, due here at eight o’clock last evening, arrived at two o'clock this morning. The trains on the Mon- treal and Sugar River road arrived an hour behind time. Trains have been despatched over the Con- cord road this mcrning on time. Railroad Travel Almost Suspended in New York State. POUGHKEEPSIE, Y., Dee. 27, 1872, The Montreal express train, which leit New York at four P. M. yesterday, reached here at half- past five this morning with four locomotives, and proceeded on the way north at a quarter to eight. No train has left here going south since noon yes- terday. Two locomotives left nere at eight o'clock this morning to clear the down track. They reached Fishkill at nine A. M. and will go on to Cold Spring, where we Will hitch on to the Sara- toga special, which ieft here at twenty minutes past twelve yesterday, and the Cincinnati express, which left here atone P. M., and endeavor to get them through to New York. The New York special train, which reached here elgg evening with Western passengers for New York, will leave for the south at ten A. M, bearers. The music ceased, and the censer-bearer kindled a fire on the altar. The priest (General J. H. H. Ward) then offered up a very impressive prayer, to which the prelates at its close respond- | ed, “So mote it be.’ The priest and kis assistants then read the lesson, consisting of a series of brief Scriptural sentences, to each of which the chorus | responded, “Haste Thee to help us.” ‘The priest | then advanced to the catafalque and delivered a | funeral addres: which was followed by @ tenor solo and chorus, “Cease Ye Mourn. | ers," by Mes: Millard, Hill and Mallitt, | during which, ata signal given by the Captain of | the Guard, George W.{Millars thirty-third degree, | consisting of two blows with his sword in the mar- ble plilar, the torchbearers countermarcued. The priest, still standing at the foot of THE CATAFALQUE, | uttered another sentence, and at another similar | Signal the precession again countermarched. A prayer was then delivered by one of the prelates, and thep all the torchbearers, rauged on each | side of the catafalque, were seated. These evolutions, in @ varied form with other ec- clesiasuical offices, were repeated several times, and then the entire procession closed ap to the catafaique. The six bearers then took the casket, and while the gong tolled solemny the comm was | borne from the catefalqgue towards a tomb with vesselated front and black doors erected at the end of the hall. Here the priest and prelates accom- | panied it, and the comin was placed on the ground at the open gates of the mausoleum. Meantime a funeral march was being played and the gong still | Struck its solemn notes on the air as THE PROCESSIONISTS KNELT, while an admonition and prayer were pronounced by the pricst, to which all again responded, ‘So mote if be.”? The casket wag then borne into the tomb, and the chorus sung, “Weep No More. A farewell was then pronounced by one of the prel- atea, Walter M. Fleming, thirty-third degree, and the processionists, in twos, alternately black and white, retired from the . The gas was turned on, al) Was bright again, and the ceremony was cluded by the singing of the “prayer” from ses" and the benediction by Wilson Small. The services were decidedly weird, beautiful and impressive and were very successfully conducted, To those unacquainted with the object of this sin- gular ceremony it may be necessary to state that | they were memorial services in honor of those of | the Ancient Accepted Kite of Masonry who have died during the past year. The form is peculiar to this Order, and so far as it and the costumes are based upon any historic traditions or customs they yesouble those of the cra of King Solomon, i? There are over seven hundred passengers snow- bound between here and Peekskill, but it ts thoaght all will get through to New York some time to-day. The first train through for New York to-day was the Montreal express, which left at four o'clock P.M. and reached here to-night at nine o'clock and proceeded, The road was cleared ahead of the train by two locomotives. Both tracks are now clear trom New York to Albany, and to-morrow ail trains will commence running regularly again, A Missing Express Train. COLD SPRING, N. Y., Dec. 27, 1872, The Chicago express, which left New York at eight o'clock this morning, is now five hours be- hind and nothing can be heard from it. No in- formation has been received as to its whereabouts. | Only one train has passed north since nalf-past ten A.M. yesterday, The weather is clear and moderating. | Great Damage Threatened in Philadel- phia. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27, 1872. The streets are banked up with snow. The rail- Toad companies are running street cars with double and triple teams, but business men were mostly forced to walk to their stores and offices this morn- ing. No attempt has yet been made by the street ners to open the crossings and gutters to the sewers, and in case of rain great damage would ensue, Delay on the Rail in the South, WASHINGTON, Dec, 27, 1872.

Wark DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THE CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER, WASHINGTON, D.C., Dec. 28—1 A. M. Synopsis for the Past Twenty-four Hours, The pressure has increased over the Southern States, with northwesterly to northeasterly winds and clear and clearing weather; also over the New England and Middle States, with northerly to westerly winds, with clear and partly cloudy Weather. From tne Ohio and Upper Mississippi Valleys to the Upper Lakes northerly to westerly winds and clear weather have prevailed. Over the Northwest southerly winds, diminishing pres- sure, increasing cloudiness and occasionally light snow are reported. ‘Probabilities, For New England and the Middle States north- westerly to southwesterly winds and generally clear weather, with somewhat higher tempera- ture; for the Southern Staves northwesterly to northeasterly winds and generally clear weather, except possibly over and west of the Lower Missis- sippi Valley; from the Ohio Valley to Lake Erie and the Upper Lakes southerly winds, increasing cloudiness and higher temperature; for Missouri and the Northwest southeasterly to southwesterly winds, diminishing pressure, cloudy weather and very probably snow, extending toward the Ohio Valley and Upper Lake region.

The distribution of the diferent parts was made with excellent and exact appreciation of the relative capacities of the company, some special interest being manifested in the performance of Miss Mary Griswold, a mew face on _ these boards, which was not altogether satis- factorily repaid, as the young lady seemed somewhat indifferent about her duties in her rdle of Georgiana, and did not until near the close enter 80 vivaciously into the play as comported with its requirements, In the last two acts she did better, however, and by the end of the piece gave premise of becoming an acceptable and popular member of the company. Mr. Harkins’ delineation of Evelyn was studious and faithful, his efforts being ably seconded by Miss Jennings in the contrasted char- acter of Clara Douglas. The distribution of the characters of Lady Franklin to Miss Mestayer, Sir Benjamin Stout to Mark Smith, Sir John Vesey to Mr. Mackay and Graves to Edward Lamp insured and afforded the audience a gratifying rendition of the comedy. PIRES LAST NIGHT. A fire broke out at 550 Ninth avenue last night that caused a damage of $50. A fire was discovered in the cellar of the four story stone building No. 4 Park place last night that caused a damage of $100. At half-past six o’clock last night a fire occurred on the fourth floor of the tenement house 556 Broome street that caused a dumage of $100; damage to building, $300. A fire broke out yesterday at 135 Lewis street that injured property valued at $100, BURNING OF A SASH AND BLIND FACTORY AND TENEMENT HOUSE IN BROOKLYN. Shortly before seven o'clock last evening a fire was discovered in the sash and blind factory of James 8S. La Rue, 435 Willoughby avenue, near Nostrand, which rapidly spreaa to two frame tene- ments adjoining on the east. The alarm was given, but before the engines arrived the flames had gained considerabie headway. The snow impeded the firemen very much, and added greatly tothe suffering of the inmates of the crowded tenements, who were hurried, terrified and half clad, into the bitter outer air. There were several sick persons in the burning buildings, but fortunately no lives were lost. The loss is about ten thousand dollars. SHIPPING NEWS.

Among the many cures by my Medicines is the follow. ing, which will be found interésting. i J. if SCHENCK, M. D. Dr. J. H. Somencr:— Dear Sir—As you have cured my wife of a well-marked Consumption she was, as it Were, in the very jaws of death, justice to yourself, as well as duty to my fellow man, impels me to address you this letter, and detail the , condition of my wite and tl ng very, Fe arkable effects of fore: thay N PREVIOUS Iss! your medicine'In her case. three years ago she was taken with a copious bleeding from ‘the lungs, | attended with a very bad cough, loss of appetite, pain be: | tween her shoulders, headache, cold feet and a gradual dectine of her physical powers. T called in our family physician, who 1s regarded as one of the ablest itfoners in the city. He continued to attend her for @ long time, and during that time she had several attacks of hemorrhage from the lungs, which made her ver; weak and brought her nigh the grave. It was when felt that her chances tor lite were very bad that Mrs. Ed- ward French, of Moorestown, N. J.. who had been cured of Consumption and bleeding (rom the Jun to her by all ineans to apply. to Dr. 8C would be sure to cure her. At that time very bad. She was much reduced in flesh had no appetite, a very bad cough, which was ‘0 treasing ay nearly to deprive her ot sleep. She had a pain and distre nd it was evident to us ail that she was tar gone with Consumption ; in the after- | noons she wonld have fever and creeping chills aud at night tree sweats. tter Dr, SCHENCK had given her an examination with his Respirometer he pointed out to my wife the part of her lungs that was badly diseased. She had little confidence at this time in any remedies, as she had used) nearly everything in medicine without the least benefft, She. commenced using the | PUL- MONIC SIRUP, MANDRAKE PILLS and SEAWEED TONIC, and continued to use them about a month, see- ing Dr.’ SCHENCK once a week, when she experienced a irked improvement. Thero was this difference in the eflect of these medicines from all others—instead of (rving up the secretions and matter, as other medicines had done, they seemed to ripen the inatter and expel it in the form of expectoration, which was very copious, at ihe same tine the secretions were restored to their natn- ral and healthy condition and the blood began again to cirenlate naturally, ‘Yhe medicines were continued a long time, as the dis- case was well seated and obstinately resisted ‘the action of the medicines, At length th: maiter began to ripen, the cough becate loose and free discharge of matter occurred right from the spot where my wife felt that her lungs were diseased. Her appetite aid digestion Im- proved and she enjoyed whatshe had long been a stranger to—aweet, refreshing sleep. The medicine continued to act upon, her blood and purified it, and after four on fire months she had regained her strength and felt that her sye- #, ReLt Wo!
