Rheumatism a Symptom of Other Diseases.

The alarming extent of chronic rheumatism in the country has led to persistent investigation. It has lately been ascertained that the disease is the result of other complicated diseases of the liver, kidneys, pancreas, blood, absorbents, etc. In other words, that rheumatism is a symptom. It is also found that, by the removal of the complicated disease, the rheumatism disappears, as a result which seems tojsubstantiatc the theory. We all know, to bur sorrow, how fruitless the ordinary treatment of this disease has been, and we now hail with joy the dawn of this new discovery. We all know that the symptoms of these diseases are generally present in cases of chronic rheumatism, but few have supposed the disease to be an effect. To remove these diseases the surest remedy can be found in the Shakbk Extract of Roots or Cubativb Syrup; it appears to be working many cures. We refer to the article sold by Druggists and A. J. White. New York.

Schenck’s Pulmonic Stbuij, Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.— These deservedly cele brated and popular medicines have effected a revolution in the healing art, and proved the fallacy of several maxims which have for many years obstructed the progress of medical science. Tire false supposition that “ Consumption is incurable” deterred physicians from attempting to find remedies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to death without making an effort to escape from a doom which they supposed to be unavoidable. It is now proved, however, that Consumption can be cured, and that it ha» been cured in a very great number of cases (some of them apparently desperate ones) by Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in other cases by the same medicine in connection with Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Maudrake Pills, one or both, according to the requirements of the case. Dr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted good health for more than forty years, was supposed, at one time, to be at the very gate of death, his physicians having pronounced his case hopeless. and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the Ufm-esaid medicines, and. since his recovery, many thousands similarly affected have used Dr. Schenck's preparations with the same remarkable success. Full directions accompany each, making it not absolutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck unless patients wish their lungs examined, and for this purpose he is professionally at his principal office, comer Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters for advice must be addressed. Schenck's medicines are •old by all druggists. The first shipment of oil in bulk was made from Venango County, Pa., in 1815 by the late Gen. Hays, of Franklin, who gathered three barrels from what was subsequently termed the Buchanan farm, on which most of Rouseville is now situated. The oil was skimmed off thesprings along the creek with no small labor, carefully secured in strong barrels and sent by wagon to Baltimore. There it was placed in charge of a leading merchant, who frequently complained of its atrocious smell, and after storing it for a year or two emptied the whole quantity into the Chesapeake Bay. A Baltimore lady wouldn’t buy, after tumbling goods over for an hour, and when the shopkeeper scowled at her she had him horsewhipped and then arrested
