The History of DR.. Schenchs own Case, G-
ho,C he ,cas cured of CONSUMPTION

Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadel-
phia, / had progressed gradually into the last
stages of Pulmonary Consumption. All hopes
of my recovery being disSipated, was advised
by my physician, DR.. Parrish, to removeinto the
country. Moorstown, New Jersey, being my ma
tive place, | was removed thither. My father
and ali his family had lived and died there-and
died of Pulmonary Consumption; On my arri-
weeks in what was deemed u hopeless condi-
ton. Dr. Thornton, who had been my fathers
last Illness, was called to see me. He thought
my, case entirely beyond the reach of medicine,
week to arrange my temporal affairs. In this
apparently hopeless condition, heard of the
ed to me that | could feel them working their
way, and penetrating every nerve, fibre, and
tissue of my system.
My lungs and liver put on action, and
the morbid matter which for many years had
accumulate and irritatcd the different organs
of the body, was eliminated, the tubercles
my lungs ripened and expectorated from my
lungs as much as IL pint Of yellow offensive mat

me, the cough ceased to harass me- and the ex-
hausting night-sweatS were no longer KNOWN
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
been stranger. My appetite now began to re-
turn, and at times found it difficult to restrain
myself from eating too much with this return
of health, gained III strength, and now

healed cicatriX in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatized with COM
plete adhesion of the pIeura.. The left lung is
sound, and the upper lobe of the right one is in
a tolerably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought to be
an incnrahe disease, by every one, physicians
cine-especially such cases as were reduced to

people to believe my recovery only temporary

well. The great reason why physicians do not
cure Consumption is that they try to do too
much; they give medicine to stop the cough, to
stop the night sweatS, hectic fever, and by so

The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most valu-
fully tonic, and healing in itself 1t contains no
opium yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial

cold; but it will be well first to take dose of
