CONSUMPTION CAN BR CuREpIl
A PLAIN STATEMENT OF FACTS.

=
the afflicted, feel that I present to the public
consideration nothing new or novel. ..-.f
The success Of my medicine In the cure of
Pulmonary Complaints is too well established
to admit Of skepticism-too certain in It's e6scts
to require any combat with that prejudice which
usually assails the Introduction Of new article
to the public. -.
II the patient will persevere, and follow the
directions which accompany each bottle, II must
and will cure Consumption, when apparently In
its last stages. NJ 500. aa
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 chills
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. Il"
Sometimes the most eminent medical men are
greatly mistaken in auscultating, or in the eI-
animation of the lungs. They see that the ps-
tient has distressing cough, and great rafting
OF phlegm in the lungs, which at once they pro-
nounce to beSTuberculous or Pulmonary Con-
sumption, and resort to some cough remedy, the
basis of which must invariably he opium, TO stop
the cough, and which clogs the liver constipatss
the bowels, and Injuries the gastric Juice of the
stomach SO that it is impossible for digestion TO
60 on and in a few weeks or months the suf-
ferer is relieved by death. ....-.
Now, I will venture to say that two-thirds 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 II into Bronchial
Consumption. .tH''
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most
| powerful purifiers of the blood known Its tonic
| properties, assisting the gastric juice Of the
stomsrh, making healthy and natural circulA-
tion OF venous blood, soon ripen the abscess In
the lungs, heals and soothes as II goes stops the
cough, and soon restores them to health. 1
In Scrofulous diseases II is equally eficacious.

I am the inventor of what is called Schsncks
Respirometer, for examining the lungs, which 10
highly recommended by the faculty rgg
One part Of It is placed to the naked breast,
and the other to the ear of the auscultator then,
when the patient draws long, full breath, 1t
transmits the sound or rattlng of the lungs, so
loud and distinct that by practice it is easy to
determine how far and what portion is diseased,
| and can unerringly determine whether It Is Tu.

or whether 1t is an affection Of the mucous mem
brane Of the Bronchial tubes, sympathising from
the liver or stomach, and form prognosis ac-

Those wishing a thorough examination with
the Respirometer will be charged three dollars
but all advice will he given gratis, and 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 rpened the matter
in my lungs, and | would spit off more than
pint Of offensive yellow matter every morning
for more than a 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,
astonished all who knew me, as every one
thought was too tar 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 ncredulous, 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 Immediatly
on my recovery, turned my attention to the
science of medicine, and the study of this pecu-
liar disease. In fact, was driven to 1t by the
great number of people coming to me or sending
for me from all parts to cure them and hatter
myself that at this day have had as much eI-
perience and success in the treatment OF this
disease as any other person in the country, hay
ing visited many portions of it, 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 coniine their practice 10 but one local
ity can hardly hope to attain.

Pulmonic Syrup for Consumption, Sea Weed
Tonic for Dyspepsia and Mandrake Pills fol

Tonic often removes the worst cases Of Dys-

common use for all bilious complaints where

when the stomach and liver nre much disordered
but they are often now used when the lungs art
not diseased, with the happiest results.
The Pulmonic Syrup is calculated to correc
