Editor Herald: Having heard
several citizens of Plattsmouth re
mark that the exercises of last Friday
evening would not compare favorably
in point of interest, with the enter
tainments previously given by the
High School Literary Society.' I wish
to suggest that it was merely the or
thodox "calm" which might reasona
bly have been expected to follow the
"storm" of excitement displayed upon
the preceding meeting of the Associa
tion. Lest some should think that the per
formances were deteriorating, I take
this opportunity of stating that for
next Friday evening the teachers are
diligently preparing an unusually in
teresting programme, consisting of
dialogues, humorous declamations, &c.
The Hon. G.Smith has kindly promised
to add the crowning interest to the oc
casion by giving us one of hi3 happy
recitations.
Likewise, the singing committee in
form me that they were unable to
practice last week, and consequently
the music was deficient in quantity,
though not, I think in quality; but
they assure me that on next Friday
they will favor us with a "Full Cho
rus." Thanking the citizens of Platts
mouth for the interest they have man
ifested in, and the hearty support they
have given to these entertainments, I
have the honor to subscribe myself.
Yours Respectfully.
Wellington W. Drummond.

These medicine have undoubtedly performed
nor Cures of Consumption than any other rem

compounded of tesretatie ingredients, and con
tain nothing which can bo. injurious to the hu-
l man con-motion, oilier remedies advertl-'ed
j its cures for Consumption, probably contain opi
um, waicn is a pouiewnat aangerous utuk in ui
cases, and if taken freely by consumptive pa
tient, it must do great Injury ; for its tendency
is to confine the morbid matter in the syetem,
which, of course, must make a cure impossible.
Schenck's pulmonic syrup is warranted not to
contain a particle of opium : it is composed of
powerful hut harmless herbs, which art on the
luiifiH. liver, stomach and blood, and thus cor
rect all morbid sucretion", and expel all the di
seased matter from the body. These are tire
oidy means by which consumption can beeuied,
and as Scheni'k's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medi
cines which operate in this way, it is obvious
they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable
ineilieirm is accompanied by full directions. Dr.
