TIM HISTORY OF DIR. ScHENCK'S OWN
CASE, AND now HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION,


Many years ago, while residing in PhiladeI.
phia, had progressed gradually into the las,
stage OF Pulmonary Consumption All hopes Of
my recovery being dis>pated, was advised by
my physician, Dr. Parrish, TO remove into the
country, Moorestown, New Jersey, being NY
native place, was removed thither. NV father
and all his family had rived and died there, and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my ARR.
val was put to bed, whore / lay for many
weeks il what was deemed hopeless condition.
DR.. Ihorntoh, who had been my fathers family
ply siclan, and had attended him in his last i'll
ness, was called TO zee me. He thought my case
entirely beyond I reach OF medicine, and de-
cided that must die, and gave me one week to
arrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently
hopeless condition, heard of the remedies
which nov make ard sell. 1t seemed TO me
that could feel them working their way, and
penetrating every nerve, fibre, and tissue Of nv
eystem.
Ny lungs and liver put on a new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
lated ami irTitat,d the different organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs
on my lung npencd, and expec.orated from
my lungs as much as pint Of yellow offensive
matter every morning. AS this expectoration Of
matter s4bsided, the fever abated the pain left
me, the cough ceased to harrass me, and the ex-
hsustlng night sweats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
been granger. 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 1 gained in strength, and now am
feshy. l am now healthy man, with q large
healed cicatriX in the middle lobe of the right
lung and the lower lobe hepatized with complete
adhesion of the ploura. The left lung is sound,
and the upper lobe of the right one is in a tole-
rably healthy condition.
Consumption at that time was thought to be
an incurable disease By every one, physicians as
well as those who were unlearned in medicine
especially such cases as were reduced to the con-
dition was in. This induced many people to be-
heve my recovery only temporary. / now pre-
pared and gave the medicines to conservatives
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 Tor me tar aud near, TO ascertain whether
their cases were like mine.
For many years, in conjunction with nv prin-
cipal Office in Philadelphi~, ar0 psVA4 l.NsAHlng
regular professional visits to New York, Boston,
Ds1Sd,AaVLv ana fIttsburg.
For several years past / have made as manv
as five hundred examinations, weekly, with the
"Respir ometer." For such examination nv
charge is three dollars, and it enables me to give
each patient the true condition of his disease,
and tell him frankly whether he will get we'll
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
nlght-sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they
derange the whole digestive system, locking up
the seeretions, and eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonhc Syrup is one of the most yalu-
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful.
ly tonic and healing in itself. It contains no
opium, yet loosens the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws il off with little exer-
ton; one bottle frequently cures an ordinary
cold; but it will be well first to take dose Of
Sohenek's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach.
The Pulmonic Syrup is readily digested and alb.
sorbed into blood, TO which it imparts its healing
properties 1t is one Of the best prepar atoms Of
iron in use; it is powerful tonic of iteelf; and
when the Seaweed Tonic dissolyes the mucus in
the stomach, and is carried off by the aid of the
Mandrake Pills, healthy flow of gastric juice,
good appetite, and good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is stimulant, and none
other is required when it is used. 1t is pure and
pleasant; no bad effects like 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 now. a-days
by almost every physician. Many patients that
visit my rooms, both male and female, are stupi-
fed wi III this poison. The relief is temporary.
If they cough, they take little whisky; if they
feel weak and feeble, they take little whisky;
if they cannot sleep, they take little whisky;
and they go on in this way requiring more and
more until they are bloated up, and imagine
they are getting heshy. The stomach. liver, and
digestive powers are completely destroyed, and
lose their appetite for food. No one was ever
consumption by this process, where
cavaties have been formed in the lungs. A little
stimulant Is frequently beneficial to comsump-
tiyes, 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 invigorating the stomach and diges-
tive system, and enabling 1t to eliminate and
make into healthy blood the food which may be
used for that purpose. It is SO wonderful in its
effects thata wine glass full will digest hearty
meal, and little of 1t 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, produe-
ing all the good results that can be obtained
fronzfH omel, or auy of the mercurial medieinas
and without any of their hurtful or injurious re-
suits. They carry out of the system the feculsnt
and worn out matters loosened and dissolved By
my Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonie Syrup. II
will be seen that all three of my medicines are
needed in most cases to cure Consumption.
