CONSUMPTION CAN BIZ CuRHDii
A PLAIN STATEMENT OF FACTS.

the afflicted, feel that | present TO tho public
consideration nothing new or novel.
The success Of my me iicine Ia the cure Of
Pulmonary Complaints Is too well established
to admit Of skepticism-too certain In It's effects
to require any combat with that prejudice which
usually asssils the introduction Of q new article
to the public. r#r.. ....
II the patient will persevcre, and follow the
directions which accompany each bottle, IL must
and will cure Consumption, when apparently in
its last stages.
do not wish TO be understood to say, that
when lungs are destroyed II can create them
anew but do mean to say, that when patient
has violent cough, night sweats, creeping chlls,
emaciated, confined to the bed, and given up to
die by their physicians, they may be cured.
Thousands Of such cases Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup has and will often cure.
Sometimes the most eminent medical men are
greatly mistaken In auscultatng, or in the ex-
animation Of the lungs. They see that the pa
tient has distressing cough, and a great rafting
OF phlegm in the lungs, which at once they pro-
nounce to be Tuberculous or Pulmonary Con-
sumption, and resort to some cough remedy, the
basis Of which must Invariably be opium to stop
the cough, and which clogs the liver, constipates
stomach, so that it is impossible for digestion to
60 on and in few weeks or months the suf-
ferer is relieved by death.
Now, will venture TO say that two-thrds Of
the cases Of Consumption in the United States
are caused by either Liver Complaint or Dys-
pepsia. The mucous membrane Of the bronchial
tubes sympathises with the liver and stomach,
and frequent slight colds hasten 1t into Bronchial
Consumption.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is one Of the most
powerful purifiers Of the blood known. Its tonic
properties, assisting the gastric juice of the
stomach, making a healthy and natural circula-
ton Of venous blood, soon ripen the abscess in
the lungs, heals and soothes it goes, stops the
cough, and soon restores them to health.
In Scrofulous diseases it is equally efIicacious.
have ambrotypes of persons cured of this dis
ease, showing scars where they have been almost
covered with running ulcers.
am the inventor of what is called Schenck's
Respirometer, for examining the lungs, which is
highly recommended by the faculty.
O1e part Of it is placed to tn, naked breast,
and the other to the ear Of the auscultator then,
when tue patient draws long, full breath, it
transmits the sound or rattling Of the lungs, so
loud and distinct, that by practice 1t is easy to
determine how far and what portion is diseased,
and can unerringly determine whether 1t is Tu.
berculous, Pleuritic, or Bronchial Consumption,
or whether 1t is an affection of the mucous men,
brane OF the Bronchial tubes, sympathising from
the liver or stomach, and form prognosis ac-
| cordingiy.
| Those wishing n thorough examination with
the Respirometer will be charged thres dollars
but all advice will be given gratis, aud will do
all in my power to explain the nature of their
case. Those desiring an examination and feel
ing unable to pay, need not hesitate to call on
me, for the same attention will be shown, and
the same interest manifested In them, which
bestow on those more favored. ! am anxious to
meet and explain to every one my manner of
treating this insidious disease Consumption.
Many years ago was given up as being in
the last stages of Consumption, and was taken
from hcme in Philadelphia, to my friends in
Moorestown, New Jersey, to die. wasted away
to mere skeleton, was confined to my bed, and
my physician (who had attended my fathers
family before me) said could not live week.
Then, like drowning man catching at straws,
heard of and obtained this preparation of roots
and herbs, which made perfect cure Of me.
1t seemed to me that could feel it penetrating
my whole system. 1t soon ripened the matter
in my lungs, and | would spit off more than q
pint Of offensive yellow matter every morning
for more than week. As soon as that began
to subside, my cough, fever, pain, night sweats,
all began to leave me, and my appetite became
so great that it was with difficulty could keep
from eating too much soon gained my strength
and have been growing in flesh ever since. 1t
astonished all who knew me, as every one
thought was too far gone ever to be raised
again. Many of those people who knew me then
are now living, and occupying places of honor
and trust in New Jersey and Philadelphia, who
could easily satisfy the most incredulous, as to
the truth Of this statement. Mine was a family
complaint; my father, mother, brothers, and
sister, all died with Consumption, and alone
am left.
Now, | enjoy the best of health, and have for
years, weighing over 2l0 pounds. Immediately
on my recovery turned my attention to the
science of medicine, and the study of this pecu-
liar disease. In fact, was driven to it by the
great number of people coming to me or sending
for me from all parts to cure them ; and fatter
myself that at this day have had as much ex-
perience and success in the treatment Of this
disease as any other person in the country, hav-
ing visited many portions of 1t, and studied the
various types or forms of the disease peculiar to
the different phases Of our climate. therefore
feel a confidence In my mode Of treatment, which
those who confne their practice TO but one local
ity can hardly hope to attain.
! am the proprietor of three medicines the
Pulmonic Syrup for Consumption, Sea Weed
Tonic for Dyspepsia, and Mandrake Pills for
Liver Complaint One bottle of the Sea Weed
Tonic often removes the worst cases of Dys-
pepsia The Mandrake Pills have become in
common use for all bilious complaints wbere
purgatives are required. They act on the Liver
and Stomach similar to cslomel, without leav-
ing any bad effects, and are warranted not to
contain particle of calomel or mercury. The
Tonic and Pills W, re originally intended to as
sist the Pulmonic Syrup in curing Consumption,
when the stomach and liver are much disordered; !;
but they are often now used when the lungs are
not diseased, with the happiest results.
The Pulmonic Syrup is calculated to correct
the lungs, stomach, and liver, and will ripen and
remove all the morbid matter from the system !;
but sometimes the bowels are so costive, and
the liver so sluggish, that it requires something
