Whereas, information, cn oath and in meeting, has been made before me, Charles C. Pool, Judge of tho Superior Court for the First Judicial District of North Carolina, that Robert M. Bridger, convicted of the crime of perjury, at the Spring term, 1872, of Bertie Superior Court, did escape from the custody of the Sheriff of said county, and is lurking'about, and so keeps himself con cealed in that or some other adjoining coun tv. that ihe usual process of law cannot be t-executed on him, This is, therefore, to command tno saia Robert M, Bridger to forthwith surrender himself into the .custody of tho .Sheriff of Bertio or some other Sheriff, so that the Sheriff of Bertie can obtain him, and should the said Robert M. Bridger continue to stav out, lurk about and keep himself con cealed, and not surrender after publi cation of this proclamation, I hereby enjoin and command each and every Sheriff, Con stable and other peace officers, and all good citizens generally, to forthwith capture, ar rest and bring said Robert M. Bridger to justice, and in case of his flight or resistance, after being called upon to surrender, any one may slay said Bridger without im peachment or accusation of any crime.

CURE QF CON SUMPTION. The primary causeof Con sumption is derangement of the digestive organs This derangement produces' ' defi cient nutrition and assimilation 1 Byk assi milation I mean that process by which the nutriment of the food, is converted f into blood, and thence into the sol ids of the body. Persons with digestion thus impaired, having the slightest predisposition to pul monary disease, or if they take cold, will be very liable to have .Consumption of the Lnngs in some of its" forms; and I hold that it will bo impossible to cure ; any casse of Consumption without first restoring a good digestion and healthy., assimilation. The very first thing to be done is to cleanse the scomaca and dowcls iroin an diseased mu c us and slime, which is clogging these or so that they cannot perform their functions, and then rouse up and restore the liver to a healthy action. For .this purpose the surest and best remedy is Schenck's 'Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the stomach and bowels of all the dead and morbid slime that is causing disease and decay in the whole system. They will clear out tho liver of all diseased bile that has accumulated there, and rouse it up to a new and healthy acti6ni by which natural and healthy bile is secre ted. The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus cleansed by the use of Schenck's Mandrake Pills ; but there remains in the stomach an excess of acid, the organ is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bowels the lacteals are weak, and requiring strength and support. It is in condition like this that Schenck's Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most valua ble remedy ever discovered. It is alkaline, and its use will neutralize all excess of acid, making the stomach sweet and fresh ; it will give permanent tone to this important or gan, and create a good hearty appetite, and prepare the system for the first process of a good digestion, and ultimately make gdod, healthy, living blood. After this prepara tory treatment, what remains to cure most cases of Consumption is the free and perse vering use of Schenck's Pulmonio Syrup. The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the sys tem, purifies the blood, and is readily ab sorbed into the circulation, and thence dis tributed to the diseased lungs. There it ri pens all morbid matters, whether in the form of abscesses or tubercles, and then as sists Nature to expel all the diseased matter, in the form of free expectoration, when once it ripens. It is then, by the great heal ing and purifying properties of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, that all ulcers and cavi ties are healed up sound, and my patient is cured. The essential thing to be done in curing Consumption is to get up a good appetite and a good digestion, so that the body will grow in flesh and get strong. If a person has disease lungs, a cavity or abscess there, the cavity cannot heal, the matter cannot rip . so Ions: as the system is be low par. What is neccessary to cure is a new order of things, a good appetite, a good nu trition, the body to grow in flesh and get fat: then Nature is helped, the cavities will heal, the matter will ripen and be thrown off in large quantities, and the person re- cram health and strensrtn. ims is tne true and onlv nlan tocure Consumption, and if a person is very bad, if the lungs are not en tirely destroyed, or even if one lung is en tirely gone, if there is enough vitality lef in tno otner to heal up, there is hope. I have seen many persons cured with on ly one sound lung, live and enjoy life to a good old age. This is what Schenck's Med icines will do to cure uonsumption. hey will clean out the stomach, sweeten and strengthen it, get up a good digestion and srive Nature the assistance she needs to clear thesvstem of all the disease that is in the lungs, whatever the form may be. It is important that while using Schenck's Medicines, care should be exercised not to take cold ; keep in-doors in cold and damp wether ; avoid nighUair, and taK.e out-door exercise onlv in a genial and warm snn- shine. I wish it distinctly understood that when I recommend a patient to be carefuL in re gard to taking cold, while using my medi cines, I do so for a special reason. A man who has but partially recovered from " the effects of a bad cold is far more liable to a re lapse than one who has been entirely cured; and it is precisely tho same in regard to Con sumption. So long as tho lungs are not per fectly healed, just so long is there immi nent danger of a full return of the disease. Hence it is that I so strenuously caution pulmonary patients against exposing them-1 selves to an atmosphere that is not genial and pleasant. Confirmed Consumptives' lung, are a mass of sores, which the least change of atmosphere will inflame. The grand se cret of my success with my medicines con sists in my ability to subdue inflammation instead of provoking it, as many of the fac ulty do. An inflamed lung cannot, with safety to tho patient, be exposed to the bi ting blasts of Winter or the chilling winds of Spring or Autumn. It should be carefully shielded from all irritating influences. The utmost caution should be observed in this particular, as without it a cure under almost any circumstances is an impossibility. Tho person should be kept on a wholesome and nutritious diet, and all the Medicines, continued until the body lias restored to it the natural quantity oflieshand strength. I was myself cured by this treatment of tho worst "kind, of Consumption, and have lived to get fat and hearty these jnany years, with one lung mostly gone. " - I have cured thousands since, and very many have been cured by this treatment whom I have never seen. ; " ' About the First of October I expect to j take possession of my new building, at tho i Northeast Corner of Sixth and Arch Streets, where I shall be pleased to give-adviceto all who may require it. 1 f J Full directions accompany all my Reme diesso that a person in any part of the world can be readUy cured by a strict ob servance of the same.
