into the solids of the b sly. Persons with digestion
thus Impaired, having the slightest pre disposition
to pniw.uary disease, or if Uiey take cold, will be
very Usble to have Consumption of the Luugs in
some of its form*; and I hold that it will be iiup- s
?ible to cur?? anvca*?*of Consumption without nrst
restoring a s>Kjddigeiition aud healthy initiation,
?he very first thing to be d .ne is to cleause the
stoma h aud bowels from all diseased mucus aud
slime, which Is clogging these organ* so that they
cannot perform their function*, and then rouse up
and restore th? liver to a healthy action. For thw
purr the surest and beat remedy i? Hch-nch s
Mat. I ake Pills. These Pills clean the stomach ar.d
bowel* of all the d^ad and morbid slime that la
cau?ii g disease and decay in the whole system.
They will clear ut the liver of all i*ea*ed bil? that
ha* accumulated there, and ronse it up to a new and
healthy action,by which ualural and healthr bile it
^The stomach, bowels, and liver sre thus clesnsed

remains in the stomach an excess -f -?cid, the..rgan

lacteal* are weak.aud requiring strength and sup
Krt. It is iua condition like this that Sc'.ienck
iiw*"d Tonic piove* to b? the most valuable
remedy ever discovered. It is alkaline, and its use
will neutralize all excess of acid, making the stomach
?weet and fresh; it will give permanent tone to this
important organ, and create a go?d hearty app-tite.
and pr paie th. *ysteffl for the first prvce*# of a go.jd
digestion, and ultimately make good, healthy, II* ihg
blrod. Alter this preparatory treatment, what re
main* to core most ca.->-* of Consumption is the free
ard persevering use of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup.
ThePului' nic Syrup nourishes the system, purifies
the ld<i*l, and is readily absorbed into the circula
tion. and thence distributed t? the diseased lungs.
There it ripen* all morbid mutters, whether in the
foini nf abscesses or tubercles, and theu assists
Nature to expel all the diseased mailer.in the form
of free f\pert oration, when once it rip-Mis. It is
tben. I?y the great healing and purifying properties
offebduk's Pulmonic Syrup, that all ulcrs aud
cavitits are healed up sound, aud my patient is
cared.
The essential thing to be done In carina Consntn?
lion is to get up a good appetite aud a go. si digestio i,
so that the body will grow in flesh aud get stron:.
If a person has diseased luujB?a cavity or abscess
there,?the cavity cannot heal, the matter cannot
ripen, so long as the system is below par. ?dm is
necessary to cure is a new order of things,?a food
appetite, a good nutrition, the body to grow in flesh
and get fat; then Nature is h?lp?-d. the ctvities will
heal, the matter will ripen and be throwu off in
large juautitie*. and the person regaiu health and
strength. This is the true and only plan to euro
Consumption, and if a person is very bad. if the
lungs lire not entirely destroyed, or even if one lung
is entirely gone, if there is enough vitality left in
the other to lieal up.there is hope.
1 have seen many persons cured with only one
sound lung, live and enjoy life to a g.*>d old age.
This is what Srlienck's Medicine* will do to cure
Consumption. They will cl"*n out the stomach,
sweeten at.d strengthen it, get up a g>sl digestion,
and give Nature the assistance sh need- to clear the
system of all the disease that is iu the lungs, what
ever the form may be
It is impoi taut that while nsing Fchenck s Medi
cine*, care should b? exercised not to take cold; keep
in door* iu cold and damp weather; avoid nigUt air,
and take ont-d??or exercise only in a genial aud
warm sunshine _ _
I wish it distinctly understood that when I recom
mend a patient to be careful in regard to taking
cold, while using my Medicines, I do so for a special
reason. A mau who has but partially recovered
from the effects of a bail cold is far more liable to a
relap.e than one who has been entirely cured; and
it is precise ly tlie same in regard to Consumption.
So long as the lungs are not perfectly healed, just so
long is there imminent danger of a full returti of the
disease. Hence it is that I so strenuously caution
pulmonary patients against exposing themselves to
an atmosphere that is not genial and pleasant. Con
firuo-d Consumptives' lungs are a mass of sores,
which the least change of atmosphere will inflame.
Th<- grand secret of my success with my Medicines
consists in my ability to subdue inflammation instead
of provoking it. as mauv of the fa.-ulty do. An in
flamed lung cannot, w ith safety to the patient, be
exposed to the biting blasts of W inter or the chilling
winds of Spring or Autumn. It should be carefulh*
shielded from all irritating Influences. Theutm st
caution should be observed iu this particular, as
w itbout it a enre uuder almost any circumstance* is
an impossibility.
Tlie person shonld be kept on a wholesome and
nutritious diet, and ail the M? dicines eonti< ued
until the body has restored to it the natural ,uan
tity of flesh and strength.
I was myself cur<-d by this tre?tro?nt of the worst
kind of Consumption, ard hsye lived f? get rat and
hearty these many years, wifh ono lung mostly
goiie. 1 have cured thousands since, and very many
nave b^en cured by this treatment wboia I have
never s'.en.
About th- fir*t of Octol-r I expect to take posses
sion of my new building at the north.-ast corner of
Sixth and Arch streets, where I shall be pleased to
give advice to all who may require it.
full directions accompany all tny Remedies, so
that s person in any part of the wor'.d can be raadily
cured by a strict observance of the wane. _

The bill introduced by Gen. Butler in the House

"That ro citizen of the United States having

I osited b\ the Smithsonian Institution, 3*3t> were
pr? sented, and the remainder were acouircd by
transfer from the Patent Office of the copy
r'elit books stored there for many years past.
Tl.e working of the new copyright law has been
highly successful and satisfactory both to the
anthors and publishers of the country. The
whole number of copyrights issued for the year
ending December 1st, 1871, was 12,to8. The
amount of fees received and paid into the Treas
ury by the Librarian amounted to ?10,1*7 W
Mr. Spoftord recommends the construction of a
new Library building, or an extension westward
of the entire central projection of the Capitol
now occupied by the Library, the limit of shelf
accommodation having been reached. The
L'brary now being close upon a quarter of a
million volumes, will, in twenty years' time,
reach half a million, and must ultimately be
come one of the largest collections of works in
the world.
The Report or the Civil Service Co*.
mission presented to the President yesterday, as
stated In The Star of last evening, reoommends
first, that the President retain absolute power of
removal, being fettered by no restrictions, so
that while the term of m rrice may be considered
ss during good behavior, the President may
nevertheless remove at any time without
assigning any cause. This the commissioner*
>ay is necessary to give the requisite flexibility
to the service which otherwise wsald become
fossilised- The regulations goveraing the opem
t o s of appointment and promotions are?tirst
entrance into the service at the lowest point;
second, competitive examinations at that point,
and at every succeeding stage; third, probation;
fourth, promotion; llith, no fixed tenure. The
next reature Is the scheme of exemptions, which
includes? flrst, all the diplomatic offioers above
the grade of consul; sccond, all judicial officers
judges, district attorneys, registers in bankrupt
cy, Ac.; third, all postmasters, whose annual
receipts are under a specified sum, say ftM, nod
several other classes. This, It will be seen,
leaves the scheme to apply to a large mam of
officers outMde of the departments here, or the
large namber of clerks employed In the custom*
or revenue service elsew here; all collectors and
stressors of internal revenue, all collectors of
customs and their subordinates, nil postmasters
above a eeitaln grade, all consuls, an Indian
agents and t ension agents, iu fact, every eOeer
St the government, whether at Washington or
else* here, save as above excepted, is subjected
to the operation of these rulea.

R?p*rt af tkc
The President sent the following message to
the Senate and Hon*? to-day:
To the Stn+t* and I lout e of K^nttntaliott
In accordance witn the Kt of ?'on|rw. ap
proved Mar ch 3,1871,1 convened a commission
of eminent gentlemen to devise rules and regu
lations for the puri<oee of reforming the elvl|
service. Their labors are now completed, and I
tiantniii herewith their rep?>rt, together with
the rules which they recommend for my action.
These rules have been adopted, and will gointo
effect on the 1st day of .lanuary. 1*72. Under
the law referred to. *s I interpret it, the auth
ority it already invested in the Executive to en
force these regulations, with full power to
abridge, alter or amend th'm at his option wlien
changes mav be deemed advisable.
These views, together with the report of th*
commissioners, are submitted for your careful
consicU ration as to whether further legislation
mav be necessary in order to carry out an ef
fective and beneficial civil service reform. II
left to myself without further Congressional ac
tion, the rules prescribed by the commission
under the reservation already mentioned, will
be faithfully executed, but th?*y are not binding
without further legislation, ui?on my suece?s >r*
Being desirous of bringing this subject to the
attention of Congress In-fore the approaching
recess, I have not time to sufficiently examine
the accompanying rc|>ort to enable me to sug?
gest definite legislative action to insure the sup
j.ort which may be necessary in or-ler to give a
thorough trial to a policy long needed.
I a-k for all tlie strength which On^rees can
civt ibv W enable me to carry oat tha reform
in the eirfl service recommended by the com
mission and adopted, to tike effect, a- be
tore stated, on .January 1st, 1X72. Th<
law which provides for the convening a com
mission to devise rules ami regulation-* toi
refoiming the civil service, an t',iOrite?, I
think, the permanent or-?nifetUon of a
primary board, uu.irr whose general direction
all examination* of applicants for public ottin
shall be conducted. There is no appropriation
to continue such aboard beyond the terinina
tion of its present lalsjrs. I therefore
ree'oiuiucnd that a proper appropriation
be made to continue the services of the
present l>oard for another year, and in view of the
tact that three members of the l>o?rd luld j?o*i
tions in tlie public service which precludes them
from receiving extra comiK:n*ation unde-r exist
ing laws that they be authorized to receive a
fair compensation for extra services by th-m in
tlie pertormance of this duty.

The following-named gentleman hive Keen

(ourtsGeorge F. Kisber, Hugh Cai>crti>a
Samuel L. Phillips, Kdward C. Ingcraoll, U. D.
Muuj.
The first named is the present District Attor
ney, formerly a Judge of our Supreme Court;
ami it is understood that while on the bench he
had partially completed a code of criminal proce
dure which will be useful to the commiaaion. Mr.
Caperton stands high at the bar here, although
of late years he ban retired from the active
practice of his profession. He rendered effi
cient service In the preparation of the revised
code which waa rejected by the people In 1857.
Mr. Phillips while engaged in the active duties
of his profession, haa for some time past been
engaged in the preparation of an elaborate work
on the law of liens. Mr Ingersoll is one of the
hardest workers in the profession, and although
the youngest member of the commission, lias
already established a good reputaion, not onlv as
an active practitioner at the l>ar, but as a fa*
writer; his edition of Smith's manual of common
law having won for him the commendations ot
the beach and bar. Mr. Muzzy haa been foi
several years not only an active member of the
bar but a I'nited States commissioner and an
examiner in chancery, and the experience ac
quired in these p<>sitions will be of service in th<
commission. It is believed that this commission
will produce results satisfactory to the bench,
bar, ami the law making power. They pn>[>ose
to organize and commence their lnbor* Immedi
ately, and will rej>ort to the legislature at the
next session.
