The History Of DR.. sehenck's W Case. and how
he was cured Of Consumption.

Many years ago, whilst residing IN PHILADELPHIA.
had progressed gradually into the last stage Of Pnl
monary All hopes Of my recovery be
ing dissipated, I was advised by my physician, DR..
Parrish. to remove into the country. MOorestOwn. n.
father and all his family had lived and died there
and died Of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arrival
l was put to bed, where 1 lay for many weeks in what
was deemed a hopeless condition. DR.. Thornton, who
had been my fathers family physician, and had at
tended him in his last illness, was called to see me-
He thought my case entirely beyond the reach Of med
icine, and decided that / must die, and gave me one
week TO arrange my temporal affairs. In this appar-
antly hopeless conahlon, heard or the remedies l now
make and sell. It seemed to me that could feel them
working thir way. and penetrating every nerve, fibre.
and tissue Of my system.
Ny lungs and liver put on a new action. and the NOR.
bid matter which for years had accumulated ard irri
tated the diHerent organs OF the body, was eliminated.
the tubercles on my lungs ripened, and I expectOrated
from my lungs as much as a pint Of yellow offensive
matter every morning as this expeetoration of mat
ter subsidized, the fever Rbated, the pain left me. the
cough ceased to harass me, and the exhaustlng night
sWeats were no longer known, and had refreshing
sleep, to which I had long been a stranger. NY appe-
title now began to return, and at times 1 found it dim
cult 10 restrain myseh from eating too much; with this
return of health, l gained IN strength, and now am
Aeshy. / am now a healthy man, with a large healed
elcatrlx IN the middle lobe OF the right lung and the
lower lobe he patized with complete adhesion Of the
pleura. The lett lung is sound, and the upper lobe oi
the right one is in a tolerably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought an incurable
disease, by every one, physicians as well as those who
were unlearned IN edicne-especially such cases as
were reduced to the condition l was in. This induced
many people to believe my recovery only temporary.
| now prepared and gave the medicines to consump-
tiges for some time, and made many wonderful cures.
and the demand increased SO rapidly that determin-
cd to offer them to the public, and devote my undivfd.
cd attention to lung diseases. In truth, / was next 10
forced 10 II, for people would send for me far and near
to ascertain whether their cases were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with my principal
Office in Philadelphia / have been making regular pro-
fessional visits to New York. Boston, Baltimore and
P~ittsburg.
For several years past I have made as many as ave
hundred examinations weekly with the teRespirome-
ter" For such examination my charge is three dol
lars, and it enables me to give each patient the true
condition of his disease, and tell him frankly whether
he will get well.
The great reason why physicians do not cure Con.
SUMPTION is, that they try 70 do too much: thew Civ
medicines to stop the cough to stop the night-sweats,
hectic fever, and by 50 doing they derange the whole
digestive system, locking up the secretious. ana ev ent,
