It should be borne in mind, too, that the popularity of these " Family Medicines" is not confined to the illiterate and credulous, but innumerable persons of intelligence and character, occupying the most prominent stations in society,-too honest to impose upon others, and too sagacious to be imposed upon themselves,-not only use, but speak of them in the highest terms of praise, for the uniformity of their success in subduing diseases.

INSURE YOUR LIFE IN THE
WASHINGTON LIFE INSURANCE CO.,
OF NEW YORK,
Which offers more advantages to Insurers than any other Company in the United States.
ITS PROMINENT FEATURES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Permanent Capital Stock of $125,000, now largely added to by accumulation. Accumulated Capital, $500,000. Stockholders receive legal interest only on their stock, which the capital has thus far more than earned for them.
Policy-holders receive ALL THE PROFITS.
It is the only Stock Company whose charter expressly requires the distribution of ALL THE PROFITS among the Policy-holders, thus being purely mutual iu character.
The Company has, therefore, all the advantages and security of a Stock and Mutual Company combined, with- ont their separate disadvantages.
Dividends to Policy-holders once credited are never forfeited. This is the only Company that guarantees this simple act of justice.
Proportion of Assets to Liabilities is larger than most other companies. The following figures, from the official report of the Massachusetts Insurance Commissioners for January, 1863, page 22, shows the standing of ten com- panies doing business in Philadelphia, considered as to the security furuished by their entire assets for each $100 at risk :

SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP,
For the Cure of Consumption, Coughs & Colds.
The great virtue of this medicine is, that it ripens the matter and throws it out of the sys- tem, purifies the blood, and thus effects a cure.
SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS,
For the Cure of Liver Complaint, &c.
These Pills are alterative, and produce a healthy action of the Liver, without the least danger, as they are free from Calomel, and yet more efficacious in restoring a healthy action of the Liver.
SCHENCK'S SEA-WEED TONIC.
For the Cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, &c.
The Tonic produces a healthy action of the Stomach, creating an appetite, forming chyle, and curing the most obstinate cases of Indigestion.
ROBERTS DEL
These remedies are a certain cure for Con- sumption, as the PULMONIC SYRUP ripens the matter and purifies the blood. The MAN- DRAKE PILLS act upon the Liver, create a healthy bile, and remove all disease of the Liver, often a cause of Consumption. The SEA-WEED TONIC gives tone and strength to the Stomach, makes a good digestion, and enables the organs to form good blood, and thus creates a healthy circulation of healthy blood. The combined action of these Medicines, as thus explained, will cure every case of Consumption, if taken in time, and the use of the Medicines perse- vered in.
Dr. Schenck's Principal Office is at No. 39 NORTH SIXTH STREET, where he can be found every Saturday to prescribe his reme- dies, to give advice, and examine lungs with his Respirometer, if required.
PRICE OF THE PULMONIÇ SYRUP, $1 per Bottle, or $5 per half dozen.
PRICE OF THE SEA-WEED TONIC, $1 per Bottle, or $5 per half dozen.
PRICE OF THE MANDRAKE PILLS, 25 Cents per Box.
