THE HISTORY OF DIR. SCHENCK'S OWN
CASE, AND HOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.

y
my physician, DR., Parrish, 10 remove into the
country, Moorestown, New Jersey, being my
native place, l was removed thither. My father
/ and al his family had iived and died there, and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri-
val ] was put to bed, where | lay for many
weeks in what was deemed hopeless condition
! DIR. Thornton, who had been my fathers family
ply siclan, and had ATTENDED him in his last i'll
ness, was called 10 see me. He thought my case
entirely beyond tie reach Of medicine, and de-
! cided that l must die, and gave me one week to
/ arrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently
| hopeless condition, ! heard of the remedies
which now make and sell. Il seemed to me
thai could feel them working their way, and
penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue of my
! system.
! Ny lungs and liver put on new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
lated and irritattd the different organs Of the
| body, was eliminated, the tuberces on my lungs
on my lung ripened, and 1 expectorated from
my lungs as much as a pint OF yellow offensive
matter every morning. As this expectoration Of
matter subsided the fever abated, the pain left
me, the cough ceased to harrass me, and the ex-
hausting night sweats we're nc longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
turn, and al times found it difficult to restrain
myself from eating too much with this return
of health gained in strength, and now am
feshy. am now healthy man, with large
healed cicatrix in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatiEed with complete
adhesion Of the pleura. The lief. lung is sound,
and the upper lobe of the right one is in tole-
rably healthy condition.
@ ma time WAS tbnu chit n he
an incurable disease by every one, physicians as
/ well as those who were anlearned in medicine
especially such cases as were reduced to the con-
dition I was in, This induced many people to be-
Ieve my recovery only temporary. 1 now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to consumptiyes
for some time, and made many wonderful cures ;
and the demand increased so rapidly that / de-
termined to offer them to the public, and devote
my undivided attention to lung diseases. In
truth, was next to forced to it for people would
send for me far aud near, TO ascertain whether
| their cases were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my prin-
oipal office in Philadelphia, have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston,
Baltimore and Pittsburg. -
For several years past I have made as many
! as Ave hundred examinations, weekly, with the
"Respirometer,n For such examination my
charge is three dollars, and it enables me to give
| each patient the true condition of his disease,
and tell him frankly whe ther he will get well.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
Consumption is, that they try to do too much;
they give medicines to stop the cough, to stop the
| night-sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they
| derange the whole digestive system, locking up
| the secretions, and eventually the patient dies
The Pulmonic Syrup is one Of the most valu-
able medicines known. It is nutrient, powerful
ly tonic and healing in itself 1t contains nc
| opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws it off with little exer-
tom one bottle frequently cures an ordinary
| cold but it will be we'll first to take dose Of
| Schencks Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach
The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and abb
sorbed into blood, TO which it imparts its healing
properties. 1t is one of the best preparations OF
iron in use; it is powerful tonic Of itself; and
| when the Seaweed Tonic dssolyes the mucus in
| the stomach, and is carried off by the aid Of the
Mandrake ri is, healthy flow OF gastric juice,
good appetite, and a good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is q stimulaEt, and none
other is required when it is used. 1t is pure and
pleasant; no bad effects ike when using Bourbon
whisky, which disorders the stomach, torpors
the liver, locks up all the secretions, turns the
blood into water, dropsy sets in, and the patient
dies suddenly.
Bourbon whisky is recommended nowadays
by almost every physician. Many patients that
| visit my rooms, both male and female, are stupi.
fed with this poison. The relief is temporary,
If they cough, they take little whisky; if they
feel weak and feeble, they take a little whisky;
if they cannot sleep, they take a little whisky
and they go ON in this way requiring more and
more until they are bloated up, and imagine
| they are getting fleshy. The stomach, liver, End
digestive powers are completely destroyed, and
lose their appetite for food. No one was ever
| cured of consumption by this process, where
eavaties have been formed In the lungs. A little
stimulant is frequently beneficial to comsump-
| tives, such as pure brandy or good wines, in
many cases London porter or brown stout in
moderate quantities; but Bourbon whisky hast
ems on, instead of curing consumption
The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting results,
| thoroughly invig orating the stomach and diges-
tive system, and enabling it to eliminate and
make into healthy blood the food which may be
used for that purpose. 1t is so wonderful in its
effects that wine glass full viii digest hearty
meal, and a little of it taken before breakfast
| will give tone to the stomach which few medi-
cines possess the power of doing
| The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken with
entire safety by all ages and conditions, produo-
| ing all the good results that can be obtained
from calomel, or any of the mereurial medicines
and withoutan of their hurtful or injurious re-
suits. They carry out Of the system the feculent
! and worm out matters loosened and dissolved by
my Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. 1t
will be seen that all three of my medicines are
needed in most cases to cure Consumption.
