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

VASE ANU NOW HE WAS CURED
OF CONSUMPTION.
Many years ago, while residing in Philade 7
phia, had progr, ssed gradually into the last /
stage Of PulTonayy Consumption. All hopes Of .
my recovery being dis~ipated, / was advised by /
my physician, DR., Parrish, TO remove into the
country, Moorestown, New Jersey, being my
native place, was removed thither My father
and al his family had lived and died there, and
died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arri-
val l was put to bed, VIII re lay for many
weeks in what was deemed hopeless condition
Or. Thornton, who had been my fathers family
phi, stefan, and had ATTENDED him in his last ILL
ness, was called to see me. He thous ht my case
entirely beyond reach of medicine, and de-
cided that must lie, and gave me one week 10
arrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently
hopeless condition, | heard of the remedies
which nov make ard sell. 1t seemed to me
thai could feel them working their way, and
penetrating every nerve, fbre, and tissue Of my
system.
Ny lungs and liver put on new action, and
the morbid matter which for years had accumu-
lated and irritat the terent organs of the
body, was eliminated, the tubercles on my lungs
on my lung ripened, and 1 eXpee GRATED from
my lungs as much as pint OF yellow offensive
matter subsided, the fever abated, the pam left
me, the cough ceased to hargass me, and the ex-
hsusting nj hit sweats were no longer known,
and had refreshing sleep, to which had long
been q Stranger. My appetite nov began to re-
turn, and at tim l 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 hepatized with complete
adhesion of the pleura. 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 we're redu ed to the con-
ditlon was in. This induced many people to be-
heve my recovery only temporary. 1 now pre-
pared and gave the mediDines to oonsumptives
for some time, and made many wonderful cures
and the demand increased so rapidly that i de-
termined 10 offer them to the ublic, and devote
my undivided attention to lung diseases. In
truth, was next to forced to it for people would
send for me far near, TO ascertain whether
their cases were like mine.
For many years, in Injunction with my prin-
cipal Office in Philadelphia, I have been making
regular professional visits to New York, Boston.
Baltimore and Pi,tsburg.
For several years past / have made as many
uve hunureu examinations, weekly. with the
"Respirometer." For such examination nv
charge il three dollars 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
Consum otion 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 seeretions, and eventually the patient dies.
The Pulmonic Syrup is one of the most valu-
able medicines known. 1t is nutrient, powerful.
ly tonic and healing in itself. 1t contains no
opium, yet loosers the phlegm in the bronchial
tubes, and nature throws il off with little exer-
ton; one bottle frequently cures an binary
cold; but it viii be well first TO take dose Of
Schenek's Mandrake Pills to cleanse the stomach.
The Pumonic Syrup is readily digested aud alb
sorbed into BLOOD 10 which it imparts its healing
properties 1t is one of the best prepaI atoms of
iron in use; il is powerful tonic of ITSELF and
when the Seaweed Tonic dssolves the mucus in
the stomach, and is carried off by the aid of the
Mandrake ri Is, healthy TOW OF 6 strc juice,
good appetite, and good digestion follow.
The Seaweed Tonic is stimulaut, and none
other Is required when it is used 1t is pure and
p easant no bad effec 8, ike when using Bourbon
whisky, which disorders the stomach, torpor
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 days
by almost every phySis'an. Many patients chs.
visit my rooms, both male and female are stupi-
fed wi b this poison. The relief is temper ,ry.
If they cough, they take little whisky; II they
feel weak and feeble, they take a little whisky;
if they cannot sleep, they take lit lie whisky /;
and they go on in this way requiring moIe and
more until they are bloa ed up, al imagine
they are getting feshy. The stomach, liver, and
digestive powers are completely destroyed, and
lose their appetite for food No one was ever
cured of consumption by this process, where
cavaties have been 70 med in the lungs. A little
otimulant s frequently beneficial 10 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,
I thoroughly invigorating the stomach ana diges-
1 tive system, and enabling it to eliminate and
make into heal by blood the food which may be
used for that purp lose. 1t is so wonderful in its
! effects that wine glass full win digest a hearty
meal, and little OF it taken before breakfast
will give tone to the stoma h which few medi-
eines possess the power of doing ... a....
The MANDRAKE PILLS may be taken with
entire safety by ali ages and conditions, produce
ng ell the good results that can be obtained
rom calomei, or any of the mercurial medicines
and without any of their hurt al or injurious re-
cults. They carry out of the system the feeulent
snd worn. out matters loosened and dissolved by
ny Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. 1t
will be seen that all three OF my medicines are
needed in most cases to cure Consumption.
